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...

I've been in Europe for the last week or so for work, and managed to have Saturday afternoon and Sunday free. I rented a car to go and see two motor museums. On saturday the beaulieu museum near the new forest and then the british motor museum in warwick. I will upload some photos in due...

TyQXBeYwFUc Some of you might be familar with Doug DeMuro, who does a weekly review of an interesting car on youtube. He can be quite a polarizing figure, but I generally find his reviews quite interesting. He recently did a W126, and while he gets a few things wrong, its quite a good take...

I would have thought that 2.7 would be quite a low ratio for the power of the motor. Might not be much fun as you would probably need to disengage overdrive for the smallest of hills. You could probably get away with something like 3.3, but 2.7 seems very low. I'll be interested in...

Period road test (1963 - Autocar) of the P5 Coupe: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/triggerscarstuff/sets/72157641657245864/

Special car alert! Apparently 'George Daimler' signed off on a special run of 500SLs as opposed to the 380, or presumably the normal 500SL. Given this one has railway sleeper bumpers its probably a USA 380SL with a 500 badge glued to it. Not only that but there is a lot wrong with it...

Looking at a few different tyres for the S211. Anyone have any experience with: - Michelin Primacy 3ST - Pirelli p1 - Bridgestone T001 - Continental Ultra contact 6 - Hankook Ventis 452 I am currently leaning towards the michelins. Best price I have found so far is $199 per tyre at...

New year monstrosity anyone? https://skagit.craigslist.org/cto/d/unique/6443072431.html only asking $500USD, but that is $500 too much.

Good article on the development of the P5. http://www.aronline.co.uk/cars/rover/rover-p5-review/the-cars-rover-p5/

Nice write up Bill. I can also note that similar modifications are required for a W126 fan, but the W107 fan is the same as long as you get the one for cars without climate control.

Here is a video of a rather nice P5 mkIII. This car is an automatic, but is in very nice condition: yFCLu_H_HRM
