http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p591/steven_rogers3/imagejpg1-1.jpg My P3 passed its roadworthy inspection. Was a strange feeling driving the old girl on the hi-way, caused a few people to sprain their necks getting a look as they drove past, it's the only time I've not been harassed for not doi...

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p591/steven_rogers3/imagejpg1.jpg Good news people, from tomorrow there should be another P3 returning to the roads in Australia. Now that the spring shackle bushes are done and all the other little bits have been fixed it's off for a roadworthy inspection in the ...

Hi Morgan, does the Rover hold any sentimental value to you? If it does then you'll probably kick yourself later on for letting it go. I constantly regret letting go of my Grandmothers Torana when I didn't have the time, space or money to restore it. I'm not sure what your situation is but if you ha...

All the p3's I've seen in person have all had the grill slats painted silver.

Hi Derrick, I'm in Caboolture so not to far considering. My sister inlaw lives up in Bundy. My email is steven.rogers@hotmail.com.au I've got the spring out of the left side now and removed the shackle.

I know that my cars are "export" cars as they all have the R prefex before the Body No. The Australian deliverd cars have MPH speedos though as Austra...

Thanks Stewart, I'm pretty sure that one of my cars in storage may have 17" wheels rather than the standard 16". Something I'm going to double check next time I'm up at my mates place. Would that also have been part of the option or is that part of a different option? I would have thought that the 1...

I was wondering if anyone has heard of a colonial option for the Rover models sold in the overseas markets such as Australia and India ect? Apparently one of my cars has this colonial pack and its ment to consist of heavier duty suspension components. I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me more ab...

G'day Neil, Good to hear you got it back together ok. I learnt the freezer trick as an apprentice, although dry ice and liquid nitrogen work best if you have access to them. Also putting bearings onto shafts with an interference fit, you can heat the bearing in the oven to a temp of no more then 110...
