The offer is a blind one from a P5B club area rep.
There were only 18,536 P5B (V8) saloons & Coupes built (from memory) about 1 in 4 being a Coupe. The car is all there, but has been standing for a few years now, so is a little tatty. I don't see it very often now, as its at my parents place in Essex, The lower A-post (O/S) needs repair (I have the part)... I would reckon that the sills need work (as they did even when these cars were only a couple of years old) The rear bumper & valance need attention as it was rear ended. The D-posts (arch area) almost invariably need doing on these vehicles too. The interior was still reasonable when I last looked, there's quite a few spares too. I know the Holley & manifold would probably raise most of that offer on their own, but my dad could use the space, and I could use the cash at the moment. The engine is fully balanced and has had a hell of a lot of specialist performance work done on it during a full rebuild (for example the great Spike Anderson of Samuri racing Datsun 240 & 260z fame did the head work for me). I used to be able to balance a pound coin (on edge of course) on a rocker cover whilst it was idling thanks to an excellent build. (and capable of 7000 rpm instead of 5250) The 30-100 time of the Rover compared to my S8 in my opinion is too close to call, in fact the Coupe felt more responsive and 'brutal'... I bought her in 1981, will be very sad to see her go, but needs must when the devil drives you..... Hope that helps R

And besides.....
I'm not greedy... The old girl needs TLC and a loving home that I can't give her any more due to finances and disability... So if anyone's interested ... feel free to PM me for my No. and have a chat... I've got until the 24-25th of this month... as the interested party won't be looking at it until the end of the month (I'll be abroad with the fiancée on the 25th) regards Richard....
