Cool project, hope to see more! Wonderful sound, too. The engine firing up instantly only confirms the skills of the master who assembled the wiring loom and fuel system. Cheers
Great to see the P6 coming back to life. Wadding on the roof reminds me of doing the Riley RM. Thank you for posting.
My first car was a P6, a 1968 2000TC. Bought it in 1980 when I was 17 for £90 and then spent about three times that on insurance. Happy days. 😀
Richard, many thanks for featuring my Rover P6 on your channel. I am so grateful for your help and expertise with this nut & bolt restoration. As discussed, it would be great if we can get the car finished to show standard by next spring and that it makes the cut for the NEC Classic Car Show next November 🤞
Fantastic Richard, now that is what a properly set up new engine should fire up like, great stuff!
it had been run up on the dyno before by the folks who built it. but that was the first start on the car
Ah that would explain why I don’t see you do the oil prime process, I assumed you’d just done if off camera as I knew you wouldn’t have fired it up without, but if it had already run then even better.
You can't beat a 3.5 V8 P6 rover, particularly the S. That looks like it will be a very nice car when it's finished, Zircon blue too.
Looks like a good project, (He should have waited for a Stag), still, be good to see this finished and on the road. Cheers Richard, ( more Stag stuff please) Bob
Couple of lads I worked with had P6 rovers.one was a 2000 which he paid £50 for with a blown engine.got an engine from a crashed P6 and stuck it in and once all the welding and mechanical bits were done he had a good car.
The other P6 was a 3500s with a manual box and after a while the gearbox failed and he couldn't afford to get it fixed so it got mothballed.
Another top job Richard, so looking forward to your next video as always.and a happy new year to you.
Thanks 👍 and to you also HNY
Well done to you both, sounds awesome. I shall follow you to the NEC good luck, the car looks amazing.
Nice, A zf 4hp22 would transform it
This is also a very expensive conversion for the Triumph Stag.
The Borg Warner box in top gear at the motorway limit is bang on the peak power curve for the engine, tickle the throttle and you are approaching 3 digits very quickly indeed. For the couple of thousand miles you drive this a year, I might refer to the moderately higher MPG and MPS Miles per smile.
Or spend thousands of pounds to fit a more modern and admittedly better automatic with an investment payback of 296 years. Your money, your car, your choice
Nice work Richard. Started on the button 1st time thanks to you.. when are you coming to Australia? Need the carbs on my stag tuned lol. Cheers
So this is a Mk1 3500 ? J plate and high compression engine ? Does that mean it will have the cool stainless bonnet ‘eyebrow’ the V8s got ? I love them, but the car is maybe a Mk2 blue colour ?
Looks very much like Tuscan Blue to me ,or at a push Triumph Valencia Blue ,hard to tell in the light of the Garage ,but whichever it's a cracker of a paint job .
the car is a late mk1 but with round dials and mk2 bonnet. factory produced a suffix
