I seen a P6 on the bay a week ago , it was beyond repair left in a garden outside for 10yrs , rotted and snapped in half  but still bids on it , parts i guess . Maybe i should start buying bits and bobs and build one from bits 

[symes]

Thing is p6 is endoskeleton-every panel bolts on--yes roof too-bonnet/boot lid is alloy . so it is possible to rebuild the skeleton-as said mine-had no tunnel or front after A post-used a v8 front end on mine-built 3xp6's they are still one of the best handling classics-especially if you know the tricks 2.2 is best all rounder and not much difference in top speed between 2.2+v8 TBH
I am a welder mate-as you know+fabricator too-

Edit : Ideally a 3.2 omega then Rover P6 V8 and a Brooklands Capri but not being greedy 

I got a Brooklands 280 Turbo Technics Capri in next week for mot and service,very nice it is too but sadly the owner is selling it as he can no longer justify having it
