[ROVERNET - UK] P5b

Hi all,

Does anyone know if the P5b was imported into the US or Canada by Rover?
If so until when? 1970? Of all the Rover models this one seems to be the
toughest to find here in the US. By the way I could not hold back I bought
the 1948 75 on EBay I will get it this Friday or next Monday and I will let
all know if it was worth it.

Cheers
Dirk Burrowes

Hi Paul,
Unfortunately, I don't think the 200-4R was ever used on an Australian 
product, whereas the 700-R4 is quite common on Holden V8's, probably 
during the late '80's and early '90's.  The current 4L60E is a relative.
Buick Regal, Olds Cutlass Supreme, and Chev. Malibu and Monte Carlo mid 
size and Pontiac, Olds and Buick big cars w. rear wheel drive may have 
been imported to Oz in limited numbers.  I do see them advertised in NZ 
occasionally, but availability is severely limited compared to NA.

Roverly,
Kent K.

James,
I'm looking for an exhaust manifold for a 3500S. It's the one that has the
hardware bolted on to it. The other (plain) exhaust manifold is OK.
Thanks, Jonathan Carter

I have a1968 RHD P5B saloon (which I would sell on for parts or

factory air. Since I am selling a new old stock Coolaire evaporator that 
would fit the P5. I have posted in the Rover section of my ebay store,a 
photo of the original dash and AC evaporator for comparison, you might 
look to compare yours. The original one used 2 small squirrel cage 
blowers in back, and does not look like it would move enough air., as 
the one I posted would. By the way, most of the things recently  asked 
for here  on Rovernet I have either posted or will post with photos if 
anyone asks me. This includes 3500S and 2000 BW35 transmission(just sold 
one) 3500S fuel tank, and some 3500S exhaust pieces.. I also have 
recently made up new hoses for 3500S PAS, and I also sell an adapter 
bracket to bolt a sanyo Rotary AC Compressor to a  york base, and I also 
devised it to adapt to the 3500S double bracket base. My ebay store is

Hi RoverNetters,
Herewith is an invitation to celebrate with me the arrival of "THE door 
skin."  Some weeks back, Edward Winchester (or someone in that clan) 
spotted a brand new Left Rear Doorskin for a P5 Coupe on TradeMe (sort 
of like Ebay) and asked if I needed it.  I was, to put it mildly, 
desperate for it, since the LR door of my P5B Coupe was a mess from the 
trim strip down and Wadhams no longer offers the "half door" repair 
panel.  It must surely be the last one in the world. Today it arrived in 
Sterling City, Texas, after a trip more than halfway around the world 
(Christchurch to Auckland to New York to Dallas to Sterling City.)  I 
can now resume work on the Coupe (well, as soon as I get the trans and 
engine back in the P4.)  Today I am blessed.  To say I owe Edward big 
time would be an understatement.

So celebrations are in order.  If there were a pint of Guinness within 
two hundred miles, I'd drink it, but there isn't, so I need volunteers 
to do it for me.
