Nice update I like the 3500S, I had a Triumph 2.5PI Mk1 auto in the late 70's which was a lovely car and I did get 22mpg which may didn't believe but was nice, but no longer on the road according to DVLS
would be interesting to know how the finances worked out on this car. i.e. cost of car plus the work you did on it against the sale price assuming you have got rid of it?
Looks nice, no rust so as I see quickly. I am busy with mine 3500S and also quite good, but the back brake system has rust, not rotten but bold,s are tight. Your engine has a lot of aluminium oxidation, I hope it is not to bad.
I really feel for you Sheldon, you thought you had found an absolute peach, which turned out to be a bit of a nightmare. I can only imagine how much its cost to get it back to a decent state. A Triumph 2000 or 2500 sounds like a great idea for a change, or how about a Dolomite?
Seems a shame you can’t enjoy it for a bit now it’s up and running and in good mechanical and reasonable overall condition. Perhaps a bit of a trip out somewhere would be good before you part with it. As far as the channel goes I agree something like a Triumph 2000/2500 would be a good way to go and those cars are equally desirable and full of character as well as being nice to look at both inside and out.
You need D-vitamin. most people in the north are D vitamin deficient because we don't get enough sun. When sunlight hits your skin you produce D vitamin, but especially in the winter we don't get enough sun, and the immune system needs D vitamin to function. So we need to take D vitamin at least in winter time.
The registration issue is odd as my 72 Citroen was registered immediately as historic, after being OTR since 1981, even though it is not at all roadworthy!
People forget just how awful British cars were "back in the day". When I started driving in 1978, a ten year old car was basically a wreck, worth about £150, full of rust and needing an engine rebuild even though it had only done 60,000 miles. Now, a ten year old car is spotless and barely run in! Even though the P6 had been garaged for 33 years, it was 19 years old when it was put in the garage and it's impossible to underestimate how bad it would have been by then. The interior is stunning, as befits a 30k car, but never be fooled that the exterior and engine will be the same!
I don't know how many you have but you must have alot of money as everyone I've seen you had problems with why don't you just stick to one or two you need to take a welding course don't know about you me mechanical skills as well but that's where you lose alot of money not doing it you self as this Andrew is saying the truth about this 6 months ago so I hope you have learnt alot more with the problems and wat to look for
Wasn’t taxation issue problem was last change of keeper was 1980 Had to prove it was that car usual easy ish but dvla short staffed lost photos and info sent then wanted more info and photos
Great video and fantastic work on the P6. Many thanks for making and posting the video.
Great video. Love the 70s brown! Oooo what next? Yes Triumph would be good, love a Dolomite.

Triumph 2000 is a nice car. The 2.5pi with Overdrive is very desirable!

Great work Sheldon, please will you get into ford's escort sierra or fiesta
Can't afford them there big money
Aim high Sheldon, aim high
Shock horror! No more P6's! After all you've gone through with those motors!
Maybe thermostat removed, old trick, to keep engine cool with blown gasket
Yeah it was taken out
And someone had started to take head bolts out

Oh god no I'm not wealthy and even less so not I didn't pay all in one go and I had alot of the parts myself but the welding was the main cost.
