  • Rover – Perceptions and Facts Part
    ROVER – PERCEPTIONS AND FACTS PART ONE By Graeme Tutt Over the years, many comments have been made regarding the performance of the various Rover models. Two that spring to mind are: "A P6 2000 auto has a better performance than any six cylinder Rover" “A P6 TC is fast as a P6B 3500 auto” Those types of comments made me realise that, my opinions, although long held, were based on nothing more than perceptions and that I had never seen any firm objective comparative data which compared the relative performance of the various Rovers models and that as a result, there was no firm basis for my views. In order to address this, I have sourced and collated performance figures for the P4, P5, P5B, P6 and P6B, however, in so doing, I increasingly began to wonder, not only just how the Rover of each era compared with each other but also, how they compared with their contemporaries, rivals and the “common garden” vehicles of each successive era.. This article thus consists of two separate parts. The first part compares the Rover models against each other and then goes on to compare the P4 against its contemporaries during what I have called the "P4 Era" - mid 1950's to early 1960’s. The second part of the article compares the P5/P5B and P6/P6B against their respective contemporary rivals. In sourcing data, I have utilised period road tests from the respected journals of the day in UK, USA and Australia, James Taylor books and the net - I have avoided current day "gee-whiz" classic car magazines for obvious reasons.

Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics.

Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1.

  • [Open PDF] Rover P5b Manual Gearbox
    Rover P5b Manual Gearbox Download Rover P5b Manual Gearbox The Rover P5B 3.5 Litre, an example of British style and flair, with a great deal of nostalgia, for most of us. The P5 line started with the Mark I in 1958, also known as the 3 Litre. Under the hood: a 3 Litre six-in-line which also came in a more powerful form in its successor – the Mark II from 1962. Not sure what you mean by " lock up"but the advice on using a different gearbox is great, do you happen to know if the size is similar to the BW35 as space is very tight on a p5b. As a point of interest could the range rover tail section of the gearbox be altered for 2 wheel drive easily or is this what the sherpa parts are? It was Rover’s first attempt at a monocoque chassis, resulting in a solid car with a hefty front subframe that supported the engine, front suspension and gearbox. Initially, the car came fitted with a 3-litre straight-six, with seven main bearings that meant it was exceptionally smooth, although gutless in automatic form. Rover P5B: Engine: 3528cc-V8-OHV.

  • Rover P5 and P5B Buyers Guide ! Page 1! of ! 14
    Rover P5 and P5B Buyers Guide ! Page 1! of ! 14 Rover P5 and P5B Buyers Guide˝ The Rover P5 (3 Litre) and P5B (3.5 Litre) are classic cars in every sense. They were successful, reliable, well-built cars that were well-regarded when new. They arguably represent the pinnacle of British car manufacturing (before the problems of the 1970’s beset the industry), embodying most features that make a British car ‘British’: a lovely interior in wood, leather and with thick carpet, and external styling that is solid with just a hint of raffishness (especially the P5B Coupe with its chrome wheels, front fog lights, lowered roofline and V8 engine). Thoroughly engineered, beautifully styled, stylishly appointed and good-to-drive, they can be very rewarding cars to own. If you’re reading this with a view to buying one of these cars, hopefully this site will be useful to you both now and when you’ve bought your car. Take a look at the Information page to understand more about the different models you could choose, and the Development Story to understand how the P5 and P5B were developed and how they changed over time. Also take a look at our series ‘The Rover P5B Coupe In The Nude’ where we follow the dismantling of a car by an enthusiast (Cyrille) - this provides a very useful insight into how these cars are constructed. Of course you should also subscribe to this site for regular news and updates to avoid missing any new features. Also see below for other buyers guides, join the Rover P5 Owners Club, read or ask questions on the Rover P5 Club Forum, and attend a Rover P5 and P5B event to speak with experienced owners.
