try this the top one although no mot looks in good condition and should be easy to be made roadworthy especially as it has a buy now of £1500 which should leave £1500 for any repairs that are nessesary

Should be easy Bernie. Avoid the 4 Cyl cars. The rest are great fun.

Bernie. Try practical classics magazine. One of the staff writters has one that is up for sale in this months edition. It's blue 2000, manual I think and has had some work done like new brakes, rad and some bodywork.

Think that's a P6, Stuart. Despite appearances to the contrary (Allegedly), He'd twig it.

Yeah your right. My mistake. Been working on a new floor and some bedroom funiture for the past few days so now I'm having a few beers, mistakingly read as P6. Did you know that the P4 coupe is in fact not the original Coupe? Years ago when I was a wee boy my dad took to me to see an experimental car that he and others were working on. It was a 2 door P4 Coupe, not like the 4 door but a proper 2 door Coupe.Bigger engine and more open top styling. My now wife wouldn't belive me that I seen such a thing as she'd never read or heard of it. So I took her to the N.E.C Classic car show a few years back and marched her to to the Rover P4 ownwers stand and told them what I'd seen. Sure enough they confirmed that only 2 of these 2 door Coupes had ever been produced. Sorry for the ramble but it's one of my bits of trivia that I'm proud of.

Belive me! I don't think there's such thing as a classic car that only needs driving and polishing! My P6 has cost a small fortune and there's still stuff that needs doing. There always is on a 30+ year old car.
I digress. There are a couple in Classic Car Weekly for less than £2k. One needs paint, the other sounds better.
Are you sure he doesn't want a P6? Lovely V8 engine. There's one for sale in Classic Car Weekly that just happens to be mine...
I need to get shot of it. I'm feeling the draw of the green fluid...

He's gone and bought a 56 MM, so much for the P4!!!
More practical and a lot cheaper to run.
Thanks for looking you lot
