Peter King's 1964 P5 Saloon in MA


 

Hi Glen,

Nice to see the new site up!

I'm enclosing a few pics of my Rovers, in case you wish to post them up.

The P5 is a '64, which I completed restoring in 2002. I replaced all rot with new metal, re-chromed needy parts, and replaced the entire interior to original specs. I drive it regularly in the good weather months, along with my '71 3500s and '67 P5 MKIII Coupé.

I brought the 3500s from California, in need of some TLC, but running. I replaced a crumpled rear bumper and boot lid, and restored the original interior, replacing the carpets and repairing and re-dying the seats.  I recently replaced the transmission,  and am in the middle of rebuilding a spare engine, which will eventually take its place under the hood. For now, however, all systems are go, and it is a joy to drive.

The '67 MKIII is an import, right-sided driver. It underwent a body restoration by a previous owner some years back, and I brought it back into service, rebuilding brakes, working out shifting and electrical issues, and replacing shocks, bushes and other suspension components. The engine purrs like a kitten.


Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Peter King
