hand drive.

>>Hi all,
>>
>>It's been a while since I last was a member of Rovernet - I think 
>>about 10
>>years now when I was still living in New Zealand. I've been in England 
>>for
>>the last couple of years, and working my way through the Rover range.
>>
>>I still have a '67 P6 2000SC back in NZ, and over the last couple of 
>>years
>>I've had a '97 414Si hatchback and a '98 416Si saloon. I've currently 
>>got a
>>'70 P6B Estate (resto project) and tomorrow I'm picking up a '70 or 
>>'71
>>P6B.
>>
>>The reason I'm not sure on the year is simply that the car has no
>>paperwork. It's an Ebay purchase and the guy bought it for parts, 
>>drove it
>>around his village once and then parked it up. Fortunately for me, he
>>didn't strip the engine out and I've managed to get hold of it. We 
>>tried to
>>start it the other weekend for the first time in a year, and the only
>>reason we can see that it wouldn't fire was because the distributor 
>>cap is
>>damaged. So tomorrow I'm taking some spares from the Estate and 
>>hopefully
>>she'll start up. The bodywork isn't bad - some surface rust - but none 
>>of
>>the usual boot floor/chassis rust you'd expect, and she has a rather 
>>nice
>>set of minilites fitted too.
>>
>>As there is no paperwork or even old number plates, I have to start 
>>from
>>scratch. I don't think it'll be a big job getting this one back on the
>>road, and it'll give my BMW 1-series a rest with all the miles I'm 
>>doing.
>>
>>In the UK, to register a car without any plates, you need to use a
>>Certificate of Conformity as a reference sheet. This lets you pull 
>>certain
>>car-weight-size-related figures and input them onto the form. As you
>>normally get this from the manufacturer and as I doubt that the 
>>Chinese
>>know a lot about the old paperwork, does anyone either have one of 
>>these
>>for a series 2 P6B, or know where I might be able to get a recent 
>>UK-issued
>>one?
>>
>>Any help would be appreciated..
