I've been watching eBay and various classifieds with some interest recently and the one thing that seems to grab my attention is that the P5 and P6 seem to be very reasonably priced for a car of its vintage, the engine is a benefit.

What I want to know is why?

It could be a potential purchase at some point, but is there something buyers should be made aware of?

Hi there,

I came to this forum specifically to ask about brushes for the 16W wiper motor (TVR-forum), but of course I look through anythin Rover as we have owned a 1975 Rover P6B/3500/V8 for three years now.

This thread may not be of any interest to ZombieLaMuerte or others anymore, but in Germany and "on The Continent" the P5 and the P6 especially are CRIMINALLY undervalued cars!!!
Maintenance and general repair are very easy, parts are cheap and driving is JUST AWESOME - I could go on for hours!

Feel free to mail or ask me here anytime!
