Practically Classics Forum

Here we go then, my new wheels. A 1970 Rover P6 3500 S1. Needs new rope oil seal so I got it for a fair price, but the an S1 with the V8 has always been on my list of must have classics... polished Rostyles are from a P5... thin white lined tyres are new... do we like them? Bit bling... but they're growing on me. What do you think?

That looks lovely. I do like series one P6s, and I'm not biased.
Looks like a great car with some very nice extras. Recently resprayed if it's the car I think I saw on ebay a wee while ago?

Looks awesome!


I'm gonna have to say it:

Get some Racing Stripes!!!

very nice, always fancied a V8 P6. (I would get rid of the white walls myself)

Yeah, I so would . I'm not too sure about the white stripes on the tyres either, but shall come to terms with them and struggle on, manfully, not remotely envious of your owning that lovely Rover. That wasn't strictly true as it happens: I'm insanely envious and I want one. Now.

Looks very nice
What size are the Rostyles ?

That looks much too good for you Danny! Keep the whitewalls, they set the car off, especially with the Rostyles.

I've just sold my Matra, it's going to Portugal, so I'm looking to fill the space left, anyone got any ideas what I should go for?

I've just sold my Matra, it's going to Portugal,

Shame on you , you must really wanted to get rid of it too, all the trouble you went to. Another one goes out of the country, there'll be none of us left soon

keep the white walls! change them when they are worn out! eco friendly....

Nice choice Mr Hopkins!

I say keep the whitewalls. They add just a hint of pimp.
