I had a Rover 2300s, I really loved that car. It was just beautiful inside and out, unfortunately the 2300 6 cylinder decided to stop its cam from spinning. Which wiped the bottom of the timing belt. I took the timing belt into the dealer and the gentleman looked at me and said, and I quote, you're going to need a lot more than that mate. I still miss that car!

The orange lights on the front and the side lights are marker lights, surely? US-spec requires markers on the side and orange marker lights on the front, not indicators. Fantastic panny roof! Good-enough aircon came later… Perhaps a modern reflective film could be applied to the roof glass to reduce solar gain.

I remember reading about these back in the day when the P6 was still in production. It would have originally had a 3.5 V8, and I believe they had a mechanical injection set up that was based around the same Lucas Pi system components, as fitted to the Triumph 2500Pi cars, and TR sports models. Deep sculptured 3500S badges were fitted to all the V8 NADA cars, even though they were all auto. The 3500 numbers were originally satin black. I have a set that were on my 1972 UK spec 3500S manual, but without the additional injection lettering. I replaced them with the later screen printed flat type. The NADA cars were sold in Canada and other countries using the US Dollar. Those side indicator repeater lenses look very similar to the Lucas ones inset into the stainless steel side trims on the P5B front and rear wings. It's difficult to tell if they're the exact same length, but on the P5B, the backplate is plastic, not chrome.

Hello Sheldon, i really enjoyed this. I hve seen a few negative comments about the reshell but imo it has been done logically and honestly and is part of the car's history. Ford reshelled many of their iconic rally cars multiple times under the same registration but no one moans about it. Just a suggestion: could you cover the negative batttery terminal with insulating tape? I have visions of all that clutter in the boot tipping across the battery terminals, shorting them and starting a fire. It doesnt take much. Keep up the good work!

All the modern cars around it, whilst not exactly ugly, are just dull and samey. But the old Rover, beautiful and stands out. Clearly a different era with different priorities in design. Even the American additions are tolerable. Obviously a mild accident in that Rover will cost your family a lot of money, as funerals aren't cheap. But at least you'll look cool whilst the brakes fail, that's if you can even get that thing to go fast enough for that to happen. It's the thing with old cars, they're better looking than modern ones, but considerably less safe and, perhaps thankfully, a lot slower. But who needs speed, safety and practicality, when you have retro style. And better still, it's classic racing green, a colour you just don't see these days. I'm jealous of people who get to own, work on and drive such cars. I'd definately make some changes to it, modern brakes is a priority if that hasn't already been done. New suspension (it's already looking low, but it can go an inch lower). Remove the US spec bumpers (I'd leave them off if it isn't breaking any laws. I like the chrome, but cleaner lines without them), and keep those rims because they're nice, just tidy up a little really. Don't repaint it, I like the pettina of old paint and metals, it gives character, just clearcoat or something to protect what is there and have it gleaming. Kinda keeping it looking as old as it is, used but looked after. Keep it looking driven so that you're never too concerned about damage to not drive it, because there's nothing worse than a classic like that being left to sit in a garage collecting dust, that's when they finally die. I'm sure you're on that page already but worth saying, drive old cars, it keeps them alive.

Be nice to do a modern interpretation of the brico fi system on this to keep it "in keeping". The stuff used on the early federal fi SD1s pop up from time to tine. Use a modern ecu, injectors with the old manifold & plenum to keep the look. Need to be a bit careful with cams & auto boxes. I've used the TVR885 cam from Powers in a 4.6 which is super tractible, not shunty & would work nicely with an auto. It's a neat project & the bones look good.

I wondered if you would end up with this car. I have that article somewhere. My recollection was Reg put a 3.5 fuel injected SD1 motor in it as the original “experimental” EFI engine was long gone replaced with carb motor. That 3.9 is recent addition as is the auto gearbox as it used to be manual. I was always skeptical of this cars providence but it makes sense that Rover would have used NADA spec for the EFI test cars with the view to export them. Either way being a NADA spec, manual RHD made it unique enough. As is Reg’s restoration story. Good luck with it.

I used to have a nice stock 3500 with a rare all steel electric retractable sun roof. When I went out of business a friend I knew also into Rovers turned me onto a guy in England who bought no rust U.S. cars and made them like new and charged really good money for them. I made a deal with him and sold him the car, parts, manuals and such. I knew that car would not be then crushed, it was too nice. The cars steel bodies rot in England but no sun means the interiors do not. I have had up to 4 rovers at one time. In my TC that would easily rev to 7,200 no one could beat me down Palomar Mountain in California. No one knew what it was especially with 4 doors. They thought they could not handle or break. Sorry suckers, you lost every time. I always wondered what that car would do with a simple turbo set up and over 200 hp on 4 cylinders as the motors are super strong with a high speed fully adjustable to 1/2 degree overhead cam, bucket lifters and shim valve settings it is bullet proof. Now, in the U.S., it would not be worth having one because of the cost to maintain. They are high quality cars for sure. Much better than the next version. I did not know of the fuel injection or that sunroof. Thanks. My TC handled like a big go cart. It was set up with the light aluminum wheels, Koni shocks, and wide track with wider wheel wells. What a fun car. What a nice interior.

I imagine a car that old can't get an MOT these days. Modern mechanics will probably be too confused with nothing to plug their laptops into, not a single USB port in sight. They'll gasp in horror when they lift the bonnet to actually see an engine, no "beautification panel" to hide such horrors as ingenious (or not) engineering solutions, and are faced with the prospect that they may actually have to touch it, get their hands all dirty and do some genuine work to figure things out. I'm perhaps wrong, but I've nothing but disdain for the sight of a mechanic with a laptop. Sends a shiver down my spine to know that once the old guard are gone, the rest will be lost without a laptop, and that's when the classics truly die because no one is left with the necessary knowledge and skills to troubleshoot and resuscitate them. We sell souls for convenience.

To me bar the chassis number, this car looks like a load of junk. Wrong engine, wrong roof, a mess of an engine bay. This needs so much work doing to it, unless you do it yourself the cost far excedes the cars value. In my opinion it is a total botch. Okay, the body on the outside does not look rusty, but judging by the state of the rest of the car I wonder what is underneath. In my opinion, today it is so easy to get air con and electric windows fitted to an immaculate car, for what is a far cheaper outlay than this will be. However, your money your choice. I wish you deep pockets and luck.

Paul it's clear you don't know bugger all about the P6 a pile of junk is every part of the car rotted out and this has no rust at all! As for the ''wrong engine'' lot's of P6's have had EFI lumps fitted it's a cheap and practical way to get abit more power and better fuel economy. The roof is far from wrong mate it's a very rare option and there are only 15 cars in the world with it and it is very sought after. From everything you said it's clear you have never even owned one and if you had you didn't understand any part of the car where as I have been around them for years and have over 40 of them. It is far from easy to just fit air con and electric windows to a P6 that's why the parts are so rare if it was simple people would do it all that stuff it American spec and very rare. Have a nice day.

@@classic_britain I only used to work at a garage that used to service Ferraris, Aston Martins, Saab and Honda. I used to work for John Northcott at Watersfield garage in the early 1980s. I know these cars and I know that behind the panels can be a nightmare. At 11:11 look at the state of the rear door. You said there is not rust, there is. I know that the air con units from that era hammer fuel consumption, so one would fit a variable rate compressor like they have on modern cars so the effect on fuel consumption is minimal. The roof in your words was fitted after the car was built. Therefore if one looks at a factory spec sheet it will not be there. The amount of work requiered to get everything running as it should will not be cheap. A decent paint job is around £5000.00 up. That is just to start. The paintwork is awful, it is difficult to see in the video but it looks like it has had a cheap blow over in the same colour. I see the interior has changed since it was in the classic car magazine, I wonder what happened there. You keep saying about it being a NADA, it is not with a totally different engine in it. The Lucas mechanical fuel injection is superb. Very ingenious it was just not used on the 2.5 PI or the TR6. Ferrari, Lotus, Maserati and Cosworth used it. Ferrari used it on their P3 racing car. It got a bad reputation because of idiots who had only worked on A30's and Austin 1100's who did not undertand it. I do not know what has happened to it , but I say again, this is going to cost you a lot money to sort out. I am not saying it will not be a nice car if you do it right. It will be rare, fantastic and as a project of love superb. However, the cost has a good chance of exceding the value. Would I take it on ? Having seen the cost of what this can be to bring back a car back to its former glory. I do not know. It is not short of modern niceties that is for sure. I guess I would if it was a car I really hankered after. Again, you will need very deep pockets to sort this out.

At least on NADA got to Sweden. I did test drive it about 15 years ago. Nice but it was in a ruff shape. I do not know if it still exist.

Interesting car but personally I find it a bit of a shame that all the changes have removed most of the historical significance of this car. With that in mind I guess you might as well just go ahead and make it into a nice running example.

Wondeful car ! I hope such a rarity is not going to be kept parked at the side of the road. That would be a tragedy. Its crying out for pampering and dry storage.

In the mag it got brown interior and brown steering wheel. And once again a car which will be sat about due too you not having a driving licence? Give it 3 months and it be sold at a loss again. It's a bag of Frankenstein bits

This guy seems amusingly eccentric. Have seen a couple of his videos. Everything seems chaotic. Will he ever show a Rover P6, in fully finished, immaculate state, rather than a P6 that is parts bin. I would want to show something FINISHED and running and lovely, rather than a work in progress …….. eventually

I have owned P6’s since 1969, a 2000TC 1969-73,when I moved to SouthAfrica, & a P6B 1974 to date. I can attest to the in adequacy Of the cooling system as where I lived & worked for the first 21 years the temperature in summer could reach 40+deg.C in summer. Fortuneatly for me I was working in Engieering at VW on the cooling system on the Golf 1 & upgraded the system with a larger capacity radiator,thermoswitch actuated electric fans & an expansion tank in bypass, no more problems since then ,could even tow in high temperatures. Mind you there were many other challenges arising from the appalling build quality from Leyland here

We have rusty cars in Australia.... really rusty. But often those were EX UK imports with that salty flavour. You could of tried a Leyland P76 which shares many Rover parts.
