I can do both..... :y Just mentioned that she has got the balcony thing on the caravan (Static) that I have resisted for some years.......she says we have no room, we can get it on the drive, had the old Mig on including the jeep, now she has left the room....... ::) ::) ::)
-
Yes I know you can do both, you're an ex Matelot! ::)
The question is can you do said tasks whilst under heavy fire duress ;D ;)

It's her birthday on Sunday..... :y :y
Just asked the seller if he will put it through a new MOT, only a couple of months left, not worried about the tax... :D :D
I had to sell my last on in 1996 to go to uni, yes a 'mature student'.... ;) ;)

Yes I know, it was just because it was local, I described it to Miss Vamps as the inside of a baby's nappy.... :D :D :D
Just been looking around the club sites, been a member previously, no meets locally now, there used to be, this is a head over heart thing really............I still have a factory workshop manual for the V8, won't be making any decisions at this time of night though, need a clear head for such things..... :D :D :D swmbo has just gone to bed and gave me a kiss, so she must still be talking to me....... ;) ;)

Yep, been there, done that, should even still have the socket...... :y :y
a quick bit of research and I think the colour is holding the price, better colours are towards twice the price..... ::) ::)
Ironically my last P6B was red and I spent loads of time and money changing the colour of the interior to 'Biscuit' something like this one is... ::) ::). If, and if, swmbo is coming round, I was to buy that i would have it painted yellow and have 'wolfrace' wheels fitted, and if i were to honour my real dream it would have wide arches fitted.......drooling now..... :D :D :D

It would look nice like that...... :y :y
Sensible head on, it is not going to happen, I could buy a really nice 3.2 for half that price, mind the Rover is real mechanics, no computers or eml lights..... :D :D :D
-
blimey that takes me back to when I was a nipperand petrol was affordable ;D. my dad had one in green I can still smell the interior now fantastic motor used to go all over England on holidays in it. truly were happy days :y
-
I'd go for a P5B ..... ;) ;) ;) as long as it did not have the tan/red interior! ::) ::) :y :y

-
Just offer to do some decorating as a sweetner or show her who's the daddy and go and buy it ;) ;).
Nice car though go on you know you want to ;D :y
-
Nice motor, go on buy it. :y
-
I'm sure we can negotiate a fair deal if you want to keep it hidden at mine :y MrsGK is used to having cars, bikes and nuclear reactors of various ownerships laid around the place ;)
-
I asked him if he would put a new MOT on it, this was the reply....... ::)
At full price I would it wud fly threw a test it's soild
Head has been thinking, so looking less likely.......no other bids and a minimal reply, and his reference to it's colour makes me uncertain......... 3 days to go, on my watch list.......... :-\ :D ::) ::) ??? :D

Now that is very very nice...... :y :y :y

Plenty of tuning mods for the V8, Mr Vamps. I believe that TVR bored it out to 5 litres and 340 BHP.
No need to tell the insurance boys..... ::) ::) ;)

I had one in mexico brown with biscuit trim, great car,

Morning all,
I once had a 3500S-the 4 speed manual.
People wouls laugh at it because I'd replaced a lot of the panels and they were all different colours (be careful with rust on these as it all four wings can be replaced with good ones in under an hour-look underneath-especially in the boot well and inner sills).
Howver, it used to wheelspin in 2nd gear and go like the clappers. Brother had a Capri injection at the time and the Rover would leave it for dead.
Don't let stories of the rear brakes put you off-I used to drop the drive shafts off the diff and then change the pads-very easy.

I assume that when ebayers "buy their own car" they have to pay final valuation fees etc. so it seems like an expensive gamble to me. :-\
-

Aah yes :-* :-* That lovely Mulberry colour for the saloon (Ox-Blood interior) and the Silver Birch/Black roof for the coupe (Black interior) - I'll have one of each please. :y
