    6.9 Transmission Upgrade

    Was his car an aussie delivery? if I recall right, your GB is a high comp motor, so I could easily see a high comp motor being about the same as an aussie car with a 450 rear end???

    The Rover P5/P5B

    the grille certainly makes it look more aggressive. Not sure I like it though, but I have seen another car with this mod... I think in some photos from WA? It works better with the v8 with its restyled front end, rostyles, coachlines and I think would look a bit odd on a 3 liter. I...

    6.9 Transmission Upgrade

    Has anyone ever looked at combining a 450 rear end with a separate overdrive unit? That would make 1st gear more usable but at the same time give the overdrive gear that is needed. I watched one of the Jay leno videos a few years ago and he fitted an overdrive to a 426 hemi so if it can...

    The Derby Bentley

    And here is B158LS, for sale here in Australia for AUD$150k. Being a late 4 1/4 liter, it is a nice example of the 'razor edge' coachwork that was popular in the late 30s. personally I prefer the earlier styles in the 3 1/2 liter and early 4 1/4's. Being a late car it has the overdrive...

    The Derby Bentley

    Some of you know I am a fan of the Derby Bentley. This is B118HK, and early 4 1/4 liter from 1936 and one of the nicest coachbuilt bodies i've seen by J Gurney Nutting.

    The Rover P5/P5B

    Interesting 3l manual overdrive in the uk. I like the colour combo of burgundy/grey. a little tatty but shows the lines of the car well. for some reason it is sporting a single lucas fog light. I also don't like the mirrors halfway upo the front wings, something you see on a lot of uk...

    Luxury car depreciation

    I've been staggered by a couple of recent examples of depreciation I have seen in luxury cars. 1) My E350T. Purchased 9 years old with a full year of rego for $18,000. Sold new for over $130k. That is almost $13k per year of depreciation. 2) My brother is buying an E63 BMW (650i)...

    The Citroen CX

    Good photo gallery of the Citroen CX: https://petrolicious.com/articles/this-citroen-was-made-to-crush-continents-with-a-family-onboard The CX didn't do well through the banger phase and few are left. There are a lot of untrue rumours about these cars like how the C-Matic transmission can't...

    Flynn Rover Cars Auction

    Was some great buys there. If I had more time, I would have bought a couple of cars and some boxes of parts and out of them built 1-2 really good ones. For example there were freshly painted body shells with no engines or interiors going for $80.
