[ROVERNET - UK] 1947 P2 (Rover 16 Sport Saloon)

[Stephen JC Beer]

I would certainly prefer Rover Spec carbs. My P2 is a six cylinder, 
however and the stock Solex is a twin choke. Would a Land Rover Solex 
(or Zenith with an adapter) be large enough for the sub 6 second 0-60 
times I am hoping for? ;-)

I do know of two sources in England for the original carbs (thanks to 
the Rover Sports Register) but adapting one of the Landrover carbs I 
have lying around would certainly save some quid.
