Junkman Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 WHY DID YOU NOT RING ME?! You went through bloody Rutland and stopped at Romans! I've tested that R107 SL for Classic Car Buyer! AAAARGH!!!!! We were seriously considering that.However, in the end we were selfish enough not to extend a 7am to midnight day of hard work for a few hours. R U AND R107 OK? dugong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skizzer Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Cat piss tarp challenge looks interesting - it has a 70s Mazda Hatchback / Renault 14 vibe to it, but with an oddly low nose. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleon-Fonte Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Top collectioning, I'm sure you won't stop until every unused GENYOOINE BARN FYND Rover P6 dotted around the British Isles is returned to the road. Whatever problems you encounter with the new P6 along the way, at least none of them will be as misery-inducing as having to drive that Vauxhault for anything more than five minutes.

scruff Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Not only did you pass through Rutland but that country lounge gaff is literally the other side of the field from my house. However I was in Scotcho until last night so could not have shook your hands in a manly fashion anyway. Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Top collectioning, I'm sure you won't stop until every unused GENYOOINE BARN FYND Rover P6 dotted around the British Isles is returned to the road. Many thanks, and yes, I think we kind of came to a conclusion. That transcontinental trip was quite an eye opener. Whatever problems you encounter with the new P6 along the way, at least none of them will be as misery-inducing as having to drive that Vauxhault for anything more than five minutes. Truer words were never written. Not only did you pass through Rutland but that country lounge gaff is literally the other side of the field from my house. However I was in Scotcho until last night so could not have shook your hands in a manly fashion anyway. This can only mean beer must be drunk at Shitefest. Or when we pass through to get the next V8 P6. scruff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 OK, the important news first: The CPC is a G40 Polo. And now on to something entirely different: Today we brought some stuff to the P6 Sanatorium and ridded the proprietor of the assorted scrap we had filled the interior with. Amongst what we supplied was a battery,which quite immediately found its way into the boot. And low and behold, there was light!There even was a quick blast of the starter. We decided not to pursue this further, for fear of any untoward bog being pumped into the carbs.The smell from the petrol cap is rather unpleasant.The plan now is to rig up some temporary fuel supply and actually everything feels like that thing will start right up. At least until the first attempt, that is... What puzzles everyone involved is how evidently original and unmolested the car is. Everything appears to be still fitted by the fine craftsmen in Solihull. CGSB, Skizzer, scruff and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad D. Conelrad Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Boot finds, plus prices (in the new decimal money) from the included August 1971 Optional Equipment catalogue: Some Zircon Blue touch up paint (25p) A sealed pint of anti-freeze (55p per quart) A pair of Cibié 10DE auxiliary lights, £13.20. Unfortunately one of the lenses is cracked, but I think these will clean up a bit. Other options found on this car (there aren't many)Heated rear window (price not on list)Laminated windscreen (almost certainly not original)Radiomobile Radio: £41.39Roof Aerial: £2.39 Skizzer, scruff, anonymous user and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Sadly they aren't Cibié 10DEs, which are round fog lights, fit Escort MK Is and would thus catapult us into the ranks of the the super rich overnight.I bet ours are some Cibiés nobody wants and hence are completely worthless, because if shit were valuable, we would have been born without arses. dugong and CGSB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 They are in fact Cibié Iode 90s, which can be had for a measly €50.00 in good condition: http://www.2ememain.be/auto-pieces-accessoires/accessoires/eclairage/cibie-iode-90-fog-lamps-289694597.html brickwall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 The following is the finding of Dr Tom, senior consultant of the Rover P6 Sanatorium. "Straight to the point. This car is one of the best P6 body tubs I have ever seen.There is corrosion on both outer sill seams full lenght but the only repair required is to the rear sections. The rest will re-seal.Even the suspension bushes are good. No swelling to the rubbers or cracking.The de-dion elbows are good, as are the trailing arms.Front inner wings are excellent condition.This car will make an excellent rolling restoration. Its in better condition than some so called " restored " cars." Conrad D. Conelrad, Sigmund Fraud, brickwall and 25 others 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
