Rover Sports Register Forum

Some lovely Rovers there. It looked a great event!

It is a bit pricey isn't it! - Not what I would call a beautiful looking car either!

Hi Patrick, I am not sure of the exact spec for the P3 Rovers - on my P2 I used an all wool headlining material from 'Woolies' trim suppliers (http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/) They do quite a good range of colour choices and materials - Perhaps if you have any scraps from the original they could matc...

Hi Patrick, Welcome to the forum - I am sure there are people more knowledgeable on the P3's than myself who will be able to help you out with your restoration questions.

Have to agree I'm afraid to say - the forum does seem to have come to a halt. I think what is disappointing is when people have made an effort to reply only to find no follow up or acknowledgement even. Perhaps we are all guilty of not making more effort! I think perhaps the real problem could be th...

Found this item on the RDX60 on AR online http://www.aronline.co.uk/index.htm?rdx60storyf.htm Looks like it was an intended all new model. I imagine like all the later Rovers it would have been badged both Rover and MG in it's different versions. It's looks remind me of the smaller BMW sports hatch ...
