A few more reviews: Motor Sport magazine, October 1966: https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/october-1966/66/older-men Rover P5 3 Liter Mk III Coupe OLD age is a miseralsle business, as the late Somerset Maugham so graphically explained. Sight and hearing are impaired, the...

Looks great Styria. I'm sure with all the parts from the wrecked car you will turn that cheap flynn 3500S into something really nice. Please keep the updates coming.

This one is a nice example of a late production DS. https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Citroen-DS-23-1974/SSE-AD-5174813/?Cr=6 The DS23 i.e. was the most powerful. This one comes equipped with a borg warner 35 automatic which is common in Australia but very rare worldwide. Citroen...

A LHD version being restored. Rover never found the success they hoped for in the United States so not very many were made http://healeyspecialists.com/low-mileage-rover-p5-coupe-for-sale/

This is an interesting car. Rather rare as it started out life the same as my car, a 1970 DS21 BVH (Non Pallas). However it has been highly modified over the years, including a partial pallasization. The price seems high to me for such a modified car but overall I like it...

The Jag manual gearbox is great. I have it in my E-Type 4.2. a 3.8S with a manual+OD is a nice find as many were BW automatic instead. As the S type is a sports sedan the auto doesn't really fit it's character as much as the manual+OD

Good example of an early french built ID19. Being a 1960 model this would have been one of the last french built cars (imported here) before Australian production started: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Citroen-DS-French-built-1960-ID19-sedan/302619749328 These cars have a dedicated following...

Interesting P5B Coupe for sale. Looks like driver quality as it has minor rust and a vinyl re-trim. Price is currently $6,600 which is cheaper than flynn cars of similar condition went for. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Rover-P5B-Coupe-/122970703566

The Rover p5 thread has been quite good, so I have created this thread about the Citroen DS in general. The DS is a very polarizing car, so this thread will not be for everyone. But for those who are interested I'll try and post from time to time about the DS and also my car. I got a...

Rover P5 vs S-Type Jag https://www.classiccars4sale.net/classic-car-how-to-guides/feature-articles/twin-test-rover-p5-jaguar-s-type-420 It’s amazing how a 1960’s Jaguar that’s demonstrably better to drive and even more luxurious than the Mk2 it is based upon remains the less popular pick? We...

Mercedes Fintail vs Rover P5: https://www.classiccars4sale.net/classic-car-review/cotc-mercedes-fintail-vs-rover-p5 Their verdict: "While some may value the view of that Three pointed star across the long bonnet there is really no contest here. The Rover is easier to buy, just as easy to...

The estate version of the W123 to W210 all used the hydropneumatic self levelling suspension at the rear. However, the 211 replaced this system with an air suspension derived from airmatic. Thus, a S211 can either have the basic rear air springs or the full Airmatic system. My car, has the...

Interesting comparison. It will be interesting to drive one of your P5's fitted with the bias ply tyres and one fitted with radials to see the difference. The tyre is much taller overall making the radials undergear the car. I've never driven a car with bias ply but heard about them...

And the car in question:

Seen at CARnivale: This is a lovely P5B Coupe and I've seen it a few times now at various shows.

Did anyone attend this event this year? I went and while it was good in that there is stuff for the whole family, I was fairly dissapointed in the event. They had a much smaller collection of cars hemmed into a very small space and overzealous security guards preventing you from looking at...

From the british motor museum: One of the prime ministerial P5B's And a 1965 P5 Coupe with a manual transmission. Similar to Styria's cars

As we know Queen Elizabeth II was a fan of the Rover P5 and had 3-4 of them as her personal self drive cars. She is still often sighted driving land rovers on her estates although for security I don't think she drives herself on the roads anymore. Price Charles first car was a P6 2000TC...
