  • [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. Power: 148bhp@5200rpm. Torque: 226lb ft@3000rpm. 0-60 mph: 10.7sec. Fuel consumption: 17-22mpg. Transmission: RWD, three-speed automatic. A thumping great V8, lashings of wood and leather and imposing good looks, boosted by Rostyle wheels. Free contactless delivery available on all new sales.

  • 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.

However, we still live in one of the best parts of the country and there’s still plenty of great weather to look forward to before the on- slaught of our winter. The weather has been pretty good so far there’s been the odd rain day and a frost or two but nothing to grizzle about and as we drive around town, travelling to and from work or cruising around the country side, the autumn colours are becoming more spectacular each day and we can appreciate just how good this part of New Zealand is. As you will see elsewhere there are a number of get togethers and events coming up; we have the Memorial Run in May, our AGM in July and plans are becoming to take shape for our display at the Auto-spectacular; a celebration of the Rover P4, 70 years of a model run that has stood the test of time and are a legacy of sound engineering and design.

  • My First Porsche 911SC 1982
    My Porsche Story Many late nights to get it to look like this My First Porsche - 911SC 1982 Beware owning Porsches can be very addictive!! It started many years ago in the early 90s, having had a succession of Austins including a Cooper S, Rover P5 3 Ltr and SD1 3.5 Ltr SE, several Fords, BMWs including a 525E and a 6 series. Over the years I always (since the late 70s) hankered for a 911. Don’t ask me why, I fell in love with the shape and vowed to get one eventually! Someone once said to me that if you want it bad enough and you sacrifice then you can have whatever you want. With that being the case eventually I had enough money put together (by including the sale of my 6 series BMW) to look for a modest car. How difficult could that be? I had joined the Porsche Club GB a year earlier and there were, before the days of eBay and online car sales, plenty of adverts in the Porsche Club magazine to look through for 911’s so the search begun. Issue 1 2018 – My First Porsche – 911SC 1982 Page 1 of 4 My budget was around £10K UKP (approx. A$30K AU) and for that price one could get a not so perfect 911SC which is what I ended up looking for. I am a mechanical engineer by trade, so I had bought and sold many cars over the years and rebuilt/restored some of them as well, so I knew my way round a car and what to look for.
