    The Rover P5/P5B

    This is a New Zealand 8 cylinder Coupe, ostensibly now sold for almost $50K. Very nice car, with the right Patina and all accoutrements - certainly worthwhile looking at the pictures. Regards Styria http://www.waimakclassiccars.co.nz/cars/539-Rover-P5B-Coupe.html

    300SEL - 6.3 Ignition Key

    I've had a 1971 model in my care for a number of years waiting for the owner to forward instructions concerning bodywork to be carried out and for further attention. Naturally, not having been mobile for years, the car is down on its haunches with the air suspension not being mobile. Naturally...

    The Rover P5/P5B

    Well, I hardly recognised this Aladdin's Cave as mine. Seeing it like this illustrates to me the attitude being utilised in attending to these restorations tasks. The one in the middle belongs to a customer of many years standing who has put a temporary halt to proceedings. The other two are...

    The Rover P5/P5B

    .....and whatsmore, it is a four speed with a Lay#### de Normanville overdrive. Obviously quite a rare feature on the P5 (1963 to 1967) models. The front seats on this car are in remarkably good condition, with the rear just a bit 'so so'. I tend to think that the English climate would have...

    The Rover P5/P5B

    Sean, definitely 'NO'. The BW 65 box is definitely stronger than the 35. All P5 (6cyl.) and P5B (V8 1968-1973) suffered from the use of this small box (BW 35 only). The cars were simply too heavy for this lightweight box, and it is a large part of my reason why I will not touch those models...

    The Rover P5/P5B

    This P5B - V8 and Borg Warner 35, has just been sold for about $8K. What a striking looking car, but showing some exterior signs of refurbishment required. I have had a closer look at the instrument panel and steering column, and I am wary of the neglected appearance of the instrument bezels...

    The Rover P5/P5B

    Dare I say it, but these two cars represent Rovers at their very best. Both examples are nothing short of sensational in their appearance. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=150050825739534&set=gm.978395009003419&type=3&theater Regards Styria N.B. The car, on the left, is...

    The Rover P5/P5B

    Sean, I can tell a story almost matching yours. Fifty years ago (my God), I wanted to obtain a Motor Cycle licence as I wanted to ride my Husqvarna 400WR on public roads and fire trails at Macksville on the North Coast. The procedure involved a trip to the local Police Station, and the Sergeant...

    The Rover P5/P5B

    Bryce, a rare find but, considering its presentation or lack thereof, grossly overpriced. As you know, I was indeed very lucky to have done much better in Canberra - I think the price per box was about $100.00, and I bought three of them. Regards Styria

    6.9 Queensland

    For a change, there is no need for me to criticise a 6.9 listed for sale - as if I should really, but then again it's best to be perspective as to merits or otherwise of an offering. With this car, I can't tell which exterior colour it is, but it looks very agreeable to me. The overall...

    The Rover P5/P5B

    Sean, it would have been the Rover 75 "Cyclops" model, with a fog light in the middle of the Radiator grille. It was fitted with the 2.3 litre engine. Regards. Styria

    '60s Mercedes Ambulance

    You have to be courageous or mad to take on this job - mind you, the young gun has got all the time in the world. Love the video - just so much nostalgia. Regards Styria N. B. At the end he says it needs a bit of work ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BH7dDMycsE

    The Rover P5/P5B

    It's not a P5, but a beautifully kept P4 Rover 100, vintage 1962 to 1964. In the olden days, I used to have three or four of that model, plus I also had a very rare 1959 105. All had four speed with overdrive - lovely cruising cars. http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/rover/p4/238191 With...

    Hi BenzBoy, if indeed they are "bots", why do other threads not attract the same attention or response? C107, I will take your car - it's not all that far off now - that's assuming you are still willing to let your masterpiece go. :D Regards Styria

    The Rover P5/P5B

    ............and who says that there is no interest in the Rover P5/P5B ? I know, in a number of ways, a much overlooked Classic, but 1550 hits on this thread since started three days ago. Am I having myself on, or could this be fair dinkum ? If it is, that's a staggering number. Regards...

    The Rover P5/P5B

    Yes Bryce, the mechanicals on the 3 litre engine require skill and knowledge. Probably still fairly reasonably priced, although it is a Saloon - probably not quite as desirable as the Coupe. Speaking of Coupes, have a look at this particular car, fitted with a Webasto Sunroof. British at its...

    Hitler's parade car

    I am sure that most of you have seen this particular video. I had, probably a couple of years ago, and decided to file it for future reference and viewing. In 2005, when in Europe, I saw three of these 770 Open Tourers at C. F. Mirbach, classic car dealer near Salzburg. They were imposing...
