We (that is, the Toronto Area Rover Club) have a P5B that we
acquired along with a 6-cyl P5 -- both automatic. The P5B runs, but
would need a fair bit of body work for a restoration. Not so much
rust as an awful lot of Bondo, in places 1/4 inch thick. Also, it's
painted a bilious pink! The 6-cyl is complete, but probably good
only as a parts car.
We probably won't get around to restoring these cars, so they're on
the block for anyone interested. (Located about 50 miles from
Toronto, Canada.)
Cheers,
Bill Daddis
