    The Rover P5/P5B

    Interesting colour combo on this mkII coupe. I like it but I don't think it goes with the interior. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283799739041

    Used Hatchback/Wagon

    My brother in law had his car written off in the big storms recently. He has a budget of 18k to spend and is looking for a big hatch or small station wagon. He is looking at cars that are a couple of years old. Previously he had a corolla and if Toyota brought the wagon version in that...

    That 6.9 that sold at shannons for 66k a while back is for sale again, on carsales for 32k. That price seems far more in line with that they actually sell for. It looks like a nice car. Given that owner would have spent money on the car, they have sure taken a bath on it...

    Dora 2

    Sounds like you've taken a big step forward with the HPFE system, doesn't sound like too much more work to get the car back on the road more permanently.

    The Rover P5/P5B

    My Dad had one (Saloon, not Wagon) for a week, I think as a loan car or rental. It was still quite new. His comment was that it was nice and smooth, but had the turning radius of the QE2.

    The Rover P5/P5B

    I remember this car from the Flynn auction. At that time I don't recall an engine being fitted but it was very cheap. Looks like the project has overwhelmed whoever purchaed it. I also recall it was missing the VIN plate so to build the car you would need a donor car.
