There is a rather nice P5B Coupe on carsales. Makes that blue one that went for about $14,000 at the flynn auction a real rip off compared to this one at $19,990. https://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Rover-35-LT-1969/OAG-AD-15782645

This weeks car is a very clean Petrol blue 450SE, a rather under-rated colour. While the condition of the drivers seat cannot be ascertained due to the sheepskins, the rest of the car is quite nice (not perfect, but nice). I would be happy to have it in my garage (sans wheel arch trims)...

https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Citroen-DS-23-1973/SSE-AD-5310651/?Cr=1 This is a good honest DS23 for sale. This car is owned by a club member near me and while this car is not perfect, it's a car that can be enjoyed as is, or spend a bit of money to do some cosmetic work...

The auction room is only a few bus stops from my office, so I went down at lunchtime to have a look: http://www.classicjalopy.com/2018/03/2018-shannons-sydney-autumn-classic-preview/

The Saloon looks nice with the two tone paint you added. That Lagonda is an impressive machine. Granted 1450 pounds was a lot of moneyh in 1964, but that car I am sure is worth a lot today. I wonder if any of those three saloons ended up at the flynn auction? There were a few 3 liter...

I certainly can't top the 3am/4am posts! Its funny how even similar cars can have a big impact on this. For example, the W116 looks great in yellow whereas I think the W126 looks rather silly in yellow, like a big banana. I understand why car companies moved to the soft visors, but the...

I found a few more photos of the MKIII

I think you made the right choice changing from the white to the admiralty blue. The colour scheme of the MKIII is rather dignified and I don't think white suits the P5 - especially the coupe with the large painted areas compared to windows etc. Good to see the photo from way back when...

Very original MK III Manual overdrive coupe with webasto sunroof https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C788155

http://totalcarmagazine.com/classicandbeloved/2013/06/10/mercedes-benz_560_sec_1990/ It wasn’t the biggest of all S-Classes (that title goes to the next one in the row) but for many it was the best. And at the pinnacle of the Mercedes line-up of the 80’s sat this car. The big coupe with the...

Rover P5 Classic Review: https://www.tradeuniquecars.com.au/news/1703/rover-p5-–-today’s-budget-tempter These are big luxurious cars – big enough to carry four six-footers in comfort - much favoured by the former Queen Mother in the UK, who is said to have ordered two when she heard...

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...
