Wiring to steering column dipswitch

Hello everybody, Happy New Year, I'm looking for some assistance in tracing why my headlights have stopped working on my 1948 P3 75 Six Light. Working as logically as I can I have checked voltage to the lighting switch (A) is present, which it is, the side lights work fine (S), and using a meter the...

Re: Differential upgrade

Good Morning All, Thank you to everybody who has chipped in on this thread, the information has been very useful as I would like to make my P3 75 a little more 'long legged' for more relaxed cruising.

Re: Odd rear wings on p3

Thank you for the kind words Derrick, I've already noted that a lot of Rover P3's found their way to Oz, and there seems to be quite a few RSR members there too. Any particular reason or is the same true of the other marques like Austin, Morris, Riley etc?

Regards
Steve

Hello everybody, Having reached that tender age where my little Triumph sportscar didn't have the same appeal anymore, I recently set about finding something more upright, more sedate and something that my dear lady wife could share. I fancied something with running boards, suicide doors, semaphores...
