Classic What a fine Machine the Classic is..

[Henry_b]

Got the cast off my hand 2 days ago.

Had my mate store my recently acquired RRC at his place.

Decided to take her out for a good drive and see what a 3.9 with a manual is really capable off.

And what a machine she is..

That V8 coupled to a manual is a match made in heaven.

Handling is meh being post 91 it has roll bars.

In my brief tenure shes had head gaskets #


Gotta love 'em..

Only issue is my heart ruled me head and i can't keep her!

No space!

oh well..

I have a chap coming today to view her..

thought i might as well blow the cobwebs out!!

Well damn...She looks great! I can only imagine what shes feel like with a no non-sense, row your own gears, manual transmission. We rarely see those over here!!

Ha it's nice!

She is quick!

Goes like you wouldn't believe with a proper box behind it!

 

[Grrrrrr]

Done the gaskets already; you didn't hang about. Looks lovely. I'd have her myself for the right amount.

Same interior trim style as my DT, good for a RRC

 

[mikieman]

Very nice looking Rover
Interior looks perfect as well as the body
If you can’t keep it....
That would simply s..k...
I would think whoever does get it will have a fine classic
Driving them is a pleasure
They were ahead of there time

Thanks chaps!

Unfortunately i say this with a tear in me eye.

she is sold!!

The guy bit me arm orf!!

Twas sad to see her go but if i was to have one again it would have to be an LSE with extra front leg room..

Anyway if you can find a v8 manual i say get it, rare as hens teeth and they go like the clappers!!

 

[Henry_b]

Oh changed the oil too.

Valvoline 20w50..

Use it..

Love it..

Enjoy a quiet V8!!

It was one like that I wanted originally (but diesel). At the time I couldn’t find decent one and thought all P38’s were auto so ruled it out til I found mine. Once I popped the bonnet and saw a bmw in there that don’t leak like Defenders, it was hard not to show my excitement to the PO
