Thanks for raising your literary hand, Paul.

Trouble is, I am not receiving mail through my web browser version of <p6rovers at yahoo.com>

I found that you had replied through the archives.

I set up a parallel universe of Mailman on another web address and I am finding that I can receive more easily through a POP mail account.

I "backed-up" each web site as the new web host tech person suggested and he unpacked them, including the Rovernet. The Rovernet is apparently intact when I look at subscribers lists, documents, settings, and such.

However, I have run into a strange situation.  I am trying some things myself, before I go back to tech support.

Thanks Slats.
This is so bizarre.

I believe I have successfully changed the Rovernet from a web host whose address was on someone's "Spam" list. However, it looks like Yahoo has sensed a new IP address and incoming Rovernet mail was redirected to a Spam bucket. I have turned off the automatic Spam filter on my own account.  

I'll try again.

Steve has been showing this car for a number of years now. It always draws interest, as do the photos of it on Flickr.

This one:

is the second most viewed photo of all on the RCCA collection.

Sorry, James.
I clicked a button to force a digest production in the course of me testing the system.
Your receipt of a digest should not occur unless that is your choice. Let me know if it happens again.

Thanks, guys.
I appreciate your signals.
For a while, the situation looked murky on this side of the pond. If the Rovernet continues to work, good..... the transition was successful.

I was able to adapt Yahoo to work, although meaning I suddenly had to unhook their anti-Spam system in order to receive my own Rovernet mail.

Let me know if things happen that shouldn't. We have enough veterans here that go back to "the year dot". They will know how the system should work.

Eric,

Since you're fixing things, and this is a Canadian website, maybe all of 
our messages could come in French as well as English. There must be some 
sort of auto-translation gadget you can work in.

I speak four languages myself, but only if I'm asking about libraries 
and umbrellas.

Thanks.
I had receipt problems myself.
Turned out the Yahoo anti-Spam thing got used to the old (but listed on a Spam blacklist :-(  IP address but blocked the Rovernet coming from a more reputable company after this new change.

Some people who used to have problems - *don't now*.
People who *didn't* have problems - know do. 

I don't know how to work out the effectiveness of this mailing list unless I can get a clearer picture - so thanks.

It will be nice to get back to talking about Rovers. Then, again,...... we had lots of time where nobody talked at all :-(

Thanks.
I had receipt problems myself.
Turned out the Yahoo anti-Spam thing got used to the old (but listed on a Spam blacklist :-(  IP address but blocked the Rovernet coming from a more reputable company after this new change.
 
Some people who used to have problems - *don't now*.
People who *didn't* have problems - know do. 
 
I don't know how to work out the effectiveness of this mailing list unless I can get a clearer picture - so thanks.
 
It will be nice to get back to talking about Rovers. Then, again,...... we had lots of time where nobody talked at all :-(

If it will help, I know of several issues that always generate a steady 
flow of responses and could can help you beat the bushes for lurkers.

Message-ID: <s8qeu55np0rq7ohe2o3olbd8rgb8l019b1@4ax.com>

I don't think there are any other group members from Tasmania, at
least they have not made themselves known? 

But jic, and also to add some Rover based topic to our recent
Tests.......

16th May is National Motoring Heritage Day, where Australian Car Clubs
are encouraged to organise something, a display or a run to help
support our Motoring Heritage.

In Tasmania there will be a Picnic and Display organised by Post
Vintage CC at the Historic town of Ross on the Midland Hwy. The Tassie
members of RCCA will be having a display of hopefully upwards of 6
cars will be attending.

So, if there are any other Tassie lurkers out there you are most
welcome to come along.

Cheers,

Peter H

Rover P6 3500S Factory Prototype 


This auction is for a Rover P6 3500S, it is a unique car in that it was
the first factory prototype. Originally registered to the Rover Motor
Company on the 1st January 1970. The registration number might look
familiar, it's one digit on from the red Rover 2000, KXC 675H, which was
used in lots of publicity material. 

I've owned this car since 1997, in that time I've used it as a daily
driver, had it as a show car, a historic road rally car, taken it around
a few race tracks and more recently, neglected it...

In the last two years it has done little more than go to the MOT
station. It's due to go again in a few months and I've sadly come to the
realisation that I'm not likely to have time to enjoy the car any time
soon and it's time to let someone else take care of it.

This car, KXC 676H was originally based on the American spec 3500S
automatic, it was then sent into engineering and given a manual gearbox
and facelift Series II trim. All this about 18 months before the UK spec
3500S was launched. 
Rover kept this car for four years and used the car for various
development modifications, unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any
useful information within the archives about this car at the Heritage
Motor Museum. When Rover sold it, it passed into the hands of a Rover
engineer, Doug De Launt. Doug kept the car for about 10 years, by which
time it was really quite derelict, Doug passed away and his family sold
the car as spares to 'Ginger' Bill Mountford (another Rover engineer),
he took the majority of the American spec parts off, like the door bars
and electric windows, and put them on his own Rover. The remains were
then sold to Albert Cartwright, Albert had fond memories of working on
the car while he was involved in engineering. Albert resurrected the car
by welding the sills, replacing the missing bodywork and painting it
'Volvo' orange, similar to Paprika, it was the only colour he thought
the looked 'right' in!
After using the car as a daily driver for five years, including towing a
power boot down to the coast, Albert put the car away and took advantage
of the employees car scheme at Austin Rover. It was  around this time
(1989-1990) I first got in touch with Albert, I had just bought my first
car, a 1973 Rover 2000 with a dead engine, my father, also an ex-Rover
engineer, phoned around his contacts to see if anyone had a spare P6
engine, as luck would have it Albert had quite a cache of spares and
with his help I got my car on the road. I kept in fairly regular contact
with Albert, whenever I needed a part, he usually had it. Seven years
later Albert decided the time had come to get rid of the 3500S, his
garage was getting quite dilapidated and the car was offered to me on
the understanding that I would get it back on the road.

It only took about three weeks to get the car back on the road, IIRC, it
needed a small patch in the footwell and the clutch and brake hydraulics
sorting out. 
I started using the car as a daily driver covering about 30,000 miles
per year, always keeping it well maintained and carried out a rolling
restoration. 

Eventually I bought another car as a daily driver and with less pressure
on time, got this 3500S looking really rather nice, it was then used for
high days and holidays for a couple of years. This proved rather boring
so, together with George Lovegrove, I started entering some road rally
events, this took quite a toll on the car and eventually a lot of the
structural metal needed replacing. With a young family, finding time to
tear around the country became increasingly difficult and with the
exception of a few club events and trips to the MoT, the car has sat in
the garage for the last five years. This has taken it's toll on the
paintwork, it has picked up quite a few scratches and dents. 

This basically brings us upto date with the cars history. It is by no
means a concours car, it needs a lot of work just to make it presentable
and I hope that whoever buys it is more interested in driving it than
showing it. 

It can be driven away, it is MoTd and Taxed and I would strongly urge
anyone to come and view the car before bidding. I'm based in Sunny
Wythall, near Junction 3 of the M42 which is between Birmingham and
Redditch.


Bad points.

It is MoTd and taxed but hasn't been used much in the last five years. 
Needs full respray and several panels will need replacing. 
One of the D-posts was replaced with a pattern part that doesn't fit
very well. 
Needs looking after.


Plus points. 

Unique piece of Rover history, the manual Rover P6B was possibly one of
the most important cars in the UK motor industry at the time. Police
loved them as did the buying public.

Chassis number in a unique series, 70350001M. 
The engine number is EXP154D 
In the book of Rover registered cars at HMC it is described as a Rover
P6 MKII Man, 18 months before official launch.

5 speed, SD1 gearbox, I've never been able to find out if this was
fitted during Rover's ownership or after. 
One of the few bits of information at the HMC for this car are some
pictures of a damaged clutch plate and flywheel

Some American features ie Bumpers, Transmission tunnel cover. 
Engine mildly modified (Cam, Mallory Distributor, 16" Kenlowe Fan) 
Lots of history 
Appeared in several magazine articles 
Did I mention it's unique?

If you've managed to read this far, thank you, it shows you have at
least one of the traits which will be necessary to look after this car. 

Reasons for sale are:
I'm not looking after this historical car in the way it should be.
Need some space in the garage


If you have any questions or want to arrange to view the car do get in
touch either by email or by telephone 07792214331.

Hey Patrick,
Check out the new "Foyle's War" on PBS if you get it up there. Michael
Kitchen is driving a P3 sport saloon in what is supposed to be 1945. It is a
beautiful car none the less.

Hi All,

This car currently belongs to me. Unfortunately my wife, son and 
business no longer leave much time money or energy, for the Rovers and 
consequently this car is now looking for a new caring owner.

It is as Gianluca says, a Series II prototype, if the VIN is anything to 
go by, the first 3500S, it was built about 18 months before the facelift 
models were introduced and is described in the Rover records as a "P6B 
Mk2 Man"

This car stayed within the factory until 1975 during which time it 
became a test mule. Whether it received the 5 speed box during this time 
or not, I haven't been able to find out for certain, it spent a lot of 
that time in engine testing.

Robert

Robert,

It's interesting to me that someone would consider removing the side 
impact bars to be an improvement. Not knocking the car, just the 
thinking behind removing an obvious safety feature in order to get 
roll-up windows.

This episode was screened here on Sunday and I noticed that too. It
certainly looked like a P3 4 Light to me, rather than say a pre war
Rover 14.

Ben 
 Foyle's war slips over the border via Vermont PBS. The car is an
anachronism , a beautiful P3 , when it should be  a P2 ..Surely a senior
fuzz in 1945  should be driven in a big Wolseley by a plod ?? But why nit
pick one of the few programs worth watching ?
 Cheers

Hey Patrick,
Check out the new "Foyle's War" on PBS if you get it up there. Michael
Kitchen is driving a P3 sport saloon in what is supposed to be 1945. It is a
beautiful car none the less.

Just to add for those of you salivating over the excellent TV series 
'Foyle's War', a new series (7) has just started screening in the UK. 
The 3 main players return, Foyle, Sam Stewart and Paul Milner. So those 
of us with long memories can wait in pregnant anticipation for it to be 
screened in our respective countries.Alternatively we can be very 
naughty and download each episode via P2P on the internet!

Ray,

Watched the excellent episode about the black American soldiers this 
evening. My wife and I agreed that while Foyle's War has always been 
excellent, this new series is even better. I noted the Rover immediately 
in this new series. I guess that f Foyle's going to drive himself, it 
had better be a Rover. A man of keen intelligence and excellent taste.

Ray, as an Aussie, maybe you understand the English better than we Yanks 
do. What is wrong with all those English men that they don't immediately 
snap Sam up and marry her?

I don't understand it.     ;-)

I must confess Glen that I am an expatriate Pom (Prisoner of the 
Motherland!) and am therefore eminently qualified to comment on the 
English psyche. The only reason Sam is still single, I believe, is that 
it suits the scriptwriters. Apparently in the new series, she does have 
a 'love interest'!!!!  She certainly is a 'honey' - the pun is very much 
intended.

Just thought I'd say that I seem to be getting digests regularly, and 
there are no more in my spam pile since the kerfiffle a month or so ago, 
so I guess it works.
Just to show my ignorance of all things electronic, what does "Test from

I have completely misread the whole thread! I was assuming (dangerous I 
know) that it was a repeat of an earlier series. I am surprised we got 
the new series so quickly. My apologies.

If anyone has missed an episode of this series or other shows from ABC 
(Australia) they can be viewed later on the PC at the following link. 
http://www.abc.net.au/iview/. However, it may be that countries outside 
of Australia are unable to access these videos but it is worth a try.

This also looks very interesting.

Rover P6 3500S Factory Prototype 


This auction is for a Rover P6 3500S, it is a unique car in that it was the first factory prototype. Originally registered to the Rover Motor Company on the 1st January 1970. The registration number might look familiar, it's one digit on from the red Rover 2000, KXC 675H, which was used in lots of publicity material. 

I've owned this car since 1997, in that time I've used it as a daily driver, had it as a show car, a historic road rally car, taken it around a few race tracks and more recently, neglected it...

In the last two years it has done little more than go to the MOT station. It's due to go again in a few months and I've sadly come to the realisation that I'm not likely to have time to enjoy the car any time soon and it's time to let someone else take care of it.

This car, KXC 676H was originally based on the American spec 3500S automatic, it was then sent into engineering and given a manual gearbox and facelift Series II trim. All this about 18 months before the UK spec 3500S was launched. 
Rover kept this car for four years and used the car for various development modifications, unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any useful information within the archives about this car at the Heritage Motor Museum. When Rover sold it, it passed into the hands of a Rover engineer, Doug De Launt. Doug kept the car for about 10 years, by which time it was really quite derelict, Doug passed away and his family sold the car as spares to 'Ginger' Bill Mountford (another Rover engineer), he took the majority of the American spec parts off, like the door bars and electric windows, and put them on his own Rover. The remains were then sold to Albert Cartwright, Albert had fond memories of working on the car while he was involved in engineering. Albert resurrected the car by welding the sills, replacing the missing bodywork and painting it 'Volvo' orange, similar to Paprika, it was the only colour he thought the looked 'right' in!
After using the car as a daily driver for five years, including towing a power boot down to the coast, Albert put the car away and took advantage of the employees car scheme at Austin Rover. It was  around this time
(1989-1990) I first got in touch with Albert, I had just bought my first car, a 1973 Rover 2000 with a dead engine, my father, also an ex-Rover engineer, phoned around his contacts to see if anyone had a spare P6 engine, as luck would have it Albert had quite a cache of spares and with his help I got my car on the road. I kept in fairly regular contact with Albert, whenever I needed a part, he usually had it. Seven years later Albert decided the time had come to get rid of the 3500S, his garage was getting quite dilapidated and the car was offered to me on the understanding that I would get it back on the road.

It only took about three weeks to get the car back on the road, IIRC, it needed a small patch in the footwell and the clutch and brake hydraulics sorting out. 
I started using the car as a daily driver covering about 30,000 miles per year, always keeping it well maintained and carried out a rolling restoration. 

Eventually I bought another car as a daily driver and with less pressure on time, got this 3500S looking really rather nice, it was then used for high days and holidays for a couple of years. This proved rather boring so, together with George Lovegrove, I started entering some road rally events, this took quite a toll on the car and eventually a lot of the structural metal needed replacing. With a young family, finding time to tear around the country became increasingly difficult and with the exception of a few club events and trips to the MoT, the car has sat in the garage for the last five years. This has taken it's toll on the paintwork, it has picked up quite a few scratches and dents. 

This basically brings us upto date with the cars history. It is by no means a concours car, it needs a lot of work just to make it presentable and I hope that whoever buys it is more interested in driving it than showing it. 

It can be driven away, it is MoTd and Taxed and I would strongly urge anyone to come and view the car before bidding. I'm based in Sunny Wythall, near Junction 3 of the M42 which is between Birmingham and Redditch.


Bad points.

It is MoTd and taxed but hasn't been used much in the last five years. 
Needs full respray and several panels will need replacing. 
One of the D-posts was replaced with a pattern part that doesn't fit very well. 
Needs looking after.


Plus points. 

Unique piece of Rover history, the manual Rover P6B was possibly one of the most important cars in the UK motor industry at the time. Police loved them as did the buying public.

Chassis number in a unique series, 70350001M. 
The engine number is EXP154D
In the book of Rover registered cars at HMC it is described as a Rover
P6 MKII Man, 18 months before official launch.

5 speed, SD1 gearbox, I've never been able to find out if this was fitted during Rover's ownership or after. 
One of the few bits of information at the HMC for this car are some pictures of a damaged clutch plate and flywheel

Some American features ie Bumpers, Transmission tunnel cover. 
Engine mildly modified (Cam, Mallory Distributor, 16" Kenlowe Fan) Lots of history Appeared in several magazine articles Did I mention it's unique?

If you've managed to read this far, thank you, it shows you have at least one of the traits which will be necessary to look after this car. 

Reasons for sale are:
I'm not looking after this historical car in the way it should be.
Need some space in the garage


If you have any questions or want to arrange to view the car do get in touch either by email or by telephone 07792214331.

I know Rob Turner.
He used to have an immaculate 2000.
He used to win the economy run in it... by prefilling with av gas... Royce 
found this out years later, since he always came 2nd in his TC.
He's a panel beater by trade I think.

It is definitely what it says it is and a very well known car with a unique 
history and it is also, most definitely the first 3500S Series 2 Manual 
(and mine is the last!)

Hi Roy,

I have one I paid $45.00 for that looks to be new or in very good shape. I
got it for my P3 but the car from a previous owner had holes for a side
mounted one and I did not want to fill the holes so I got another side mount
style and installed it. Let me know if you are interested and where you are
located.

Hi Dale,

Thank you for asking. I will let you know. There are two of them listed on
Ebay UK that seem to be very good deals. I have a 1959 Rover P4 100 that is
a parts car so let me know if there are any other parts you need and I will
see if I have them to spare. I have a 1960 P4 100 pushing 200K which I
prefer to drive but it is running on 5 cylinders so I need to rebuild the
engine. Great little car.

Ben

Hi Roy,

I have one I paid $45.00 for that looks to be new or in very good shape. I
got it for my P3 but the car from a previous owner had holes for a side
mounted one and I did not want to fill the holes so I got another side mount
style and installed it. Let me know if you are interested and where you are
located.

Hi Ben,this is Dale,thanks for answering my E Mail so promply I actually decided I didn't want to put a hole in my roof.There is a couple of parts I've been trying to locate, one is the mercury type light switch for the boot light Lucas #519 can't get mine to work consistently and the other part is the interior driving mirror, its beveled glass measuring 3 1/2"x1 5/8" part #262911 in the rover manual,they also list one that measures 4"x 1 5/8"but that would mean I'd need the larger chrome backing piece for the glass,I'm assuming the stem is the same,dont know.Aren,t Rovers great,I've had mine for 45years and i'm just completing a 9 year restoriation.Thanks again for your time Ben,?? Regards......... Dale

Hi Dale,

Thank you for asking. I will let you know. There are two of them listed on
Ebay UK that seem to be very good deals. I have a 1959 Rover P4 100 that is
a parts car so let me know if there are any other parts you need and I will
see if I have them to spare. I have a 1960 P4 100 pushing 200K which I
prefer to drive but it is running on 5 cylinders so I need to rebuild the
engine. Great little car.

Ben

Message-ID: <4BEF9936.3040607@bigpond.com>

Some help please. I have been neglecting my 1976 P67B of late but 
recently decided to give her a good going over, change all those bits 
that need changing etc. However, I did then notice that the driver's 
side appeared to be lower than the other so I took measurements from the 
floor to the underside of the wheel arch. That way I figured comparisons 
would be apples against apples - doesn't matter whether the garage floor 
was not level or tyre sizes etc. At the front, the passenger side wheel 
was 648mm while the driver's side was 640mm; not too bad but at the 
back, the passenger side was 508mm while the driver's side was 485mm. 
Quite a lean! My question then is, what could be causing this? Shocks? 
Springs? I've taken the wheel off and had a look but all seems OK, 
nothing broken, spring mounts not corroded. I would appreciate any 
helpful tips of what to look for and any advice generally. Thanks,

Spring sag.
Rare on a P6B though.
The rears are ok to do, the fronts are difficult.

'Spring sag', does that mean that the spring has lost it's spring?

Its free length has dropped, and the spring rate may have dropped.
Pull them out and compare the free lengths.  I have book figures somewhere 
if needed.
If it is less than the difference in heights then the rate has dropped too.

Hi all....

           my other 1969 2000TC has sat all winter and i just went to fire it up....changed cap rotor and points and condesor......of course i did the cap from the back and screwed up the order......result no start......fixed plug order ..no start .......put old rotor back in...nothing.put old points back ....no   put old cap back no......cleaned terminals at solenoid, ground for battery and also cleaned distributor plate for points.......still get nothing..........i have spark.....i ve tried other coil anyway.....i have gas  ......but all i've got is a lot of turning over and not really trying to kick....i have used ether(quick start) and had it backfire through the carb......but still no start........tried putting old plugs back in .....same one backfire through carb and nothing.............could i have done something when i changed the plug order.....although i don't know what since i still have spark and gas.........was running good when parked last fall....albeit it was harder to start.............i dumped the oil...........don't see any antifreeze and compression was all even albeit on the low side at 100 each..........i've tried 2 sets of points now 3 condensors and 2 caps and rotors

Ready to burn it in garage but 3500S hasn't had the brakes bled yet so i'd lose that one too

King Springs list KRRS-08 for the rear springs of a Rover P6 and P6B.

Inspect the bushings. I just replaced four bushings on my Rover 2000 TC. If you are replacing springs then do any bushings that are looking worn. Scott Richmond has those.

I had the rear shockers re bushed and re gased about 10 years ago in my Rover 2000 automatic. The place in Adelaide could not get hold of any new rear shock absorbers. I had Light Wheel Alignment do my Rover 2000 automatic. They did a good job. Probably a bit far from Melbourne though, but I do recommend them as they are the only place who has ever got the wheel alignment right on that car. I almost thought that there was something wrong when I found the front tyres wearing evenly!

James.

Hi Bill
         Only three things are needed to fire the engine, gas spark and air, 
if you have these items then possibly you have knocked a connection wire 
off. I have in the past done it myself. I my memory serves there is a small 
relay on the inner fender wall near the master cylinder, check all the push 
on connections are securely fastened. Good Luck  Ben

Hi Bill,
If you are getting a spit through the carbs that suggests that you haven't got the plug leads/wires in the right order let. 
Looking at my engine in a photo (I'm on th eother side of the country from it at present) The No.1 Wire should go on the front post nearest to the inner wing. Firing order for the 2000TC should be 1-3-2-4 I think, maybe check in the manual if you have one. there's an arrow cast into the dizzy body showing direction of rotation for for this too. With that info you should be able to get the wires in order.
On another note, that 100PSI compression seems very low. and can't be helping. If it is the valve seats or bore/piston wear that might be slowing the starting process. but if they are all even I would check the condition of your starter and battery. I found recently that my starter body screws were exceedingly loose. You could rotate the body about 1/4" while the flange was secured firmly. Once I tightened these I got about a 50% increase in cranking speed. Its an easy thing to check and fix from under the car, just make sure the exhaust manifold is nice and cold.
Anyway, thats some of my thoughts for what they are worth,
Steven

Bill,

Bad news is that you have a Rover problem. Hopefully, Steve and others will be able to help.

Good news is that the Rovernet is working for you :-)  That WAS my headache for many months :-(

#1 is at the front of the dizzy.
You have spark, but it can be weak.  Try another coil.  I replace the 
standard ones with Jap coils...

They key to getting alignment right is to ignore the workshop manual and 
shim under the top arm mounts...
or have a set of the strut links, which varied in length, to set it.

Bill,
Picture reference:
http://www.roverclub.ca/p6electronic.html

Here is a photo of my working 2000 TC (with working Electronic Ignition - another story - another day).
The sequence is 1,3, 4, 2

>From the picture you can track what lead went where on a working TC.   :D 

The workshop manual is a bit of a challenge on the topic but the "Handybooks,...... Owner's handbook..... Rover 2000, 2200 from 1963" is a bit more help when it says on page 63, "When the appropriate timing mark is aligned with the pointer, the engine will be set to the firing position for pistons 1 or 4. Piston No. 1 is at the fan end of the engine and so too is No. 1 sparking plug......."

Thank you to everyone who responded to my problem. It does seem to be a 
spring problem so I will source some King Springs KRRS-08. I will also 
remove the rear seats just to be sure there is no problem with the top 
mounting. One query I do have though after reading the repair manual is 
that it says to jack up the rear of the car so that the road wheels are 
9 to 12 inches clear of the ground. If I remember correctly when I have 
jacked up the rear using the centre jacking point with my trolley jack, 
the de dion tube and the rest of the assembly including hub and drive 
shafts will drop as the car is raised. This way the wheels will only 
just clear the ground or be only 2 inches or so off the ground. Does 
this mean I should use a jack that will lift the car higher or are there 
any other tips and tricks I need to know about? All help gratefully 
accepted. Thanks,

Ray Wilkins

It is good to have a jack that will do height...
Failing that, jack each side under the box section just in front of the 
jackstand rod hole.
Stick a rod in and a stand to suit.
Do it in two lifts so the car does not lean too much.

Thanks. That's the beauty of this list, you can get advice from someone 
who has actually done it.

Ray,
I have used a garage jack with a heavy block of wood to jack under the rear jacking point and, at times under the final drive. I used 1 jack stand with a block of 2"X4" wood on top of each stand and placed them under the box sections just ahead of the rear wheel arch.

Using a balance of wood, hydraulic jack, and jack stands, I have been able to lift the car to remove springs and/or shocks. This is a tricky DIY job and needs care, thought, and safety procedures at each step.

Don't forget to chock the front wheels in advance.

Wow i didn't think you could make it run like that but i did see that at TDC the dist can be at 1 or 4......i can see that anything is possible with Rovers.........except mine starting at the moment....LOL......Since the shop manuals are useless in this respect i've taken a pic of the only manual i've seen with the plug configuration.........An intereurope Repair Manual.....i'll post it along with my present plug leads pulled up to see better in my Yahoo Rovernet pics....http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Rover_net/........My Rovers...douluvnascar

Hope this helps anyone else down the road..............I'll get back to my fiasco later after my back gets better... Too much bending over that car for last few days

Thanks

Bill 
Don't put a digital volt meter into an HT circuit , you will fry it .
"Enough spark" is a big fat blue spark across the plug 
 The old fashioned test for the coil, condenser and distributor was : :
Remove the distributor cap and rotor arm .
Turn the engine until the points are closed 
Hold the rotor arm onto the central terminal from the coil , with the arm
pointing to one of the plug lead terminals 
Flick the points 
You should see a big fat blue spark jump from the rotor arm to the plug lead
terminal .
 You then need to repeat the test with a  plug earthed via the cylinder head
to check the HT lead and plug .
I'm not sure if this is still valid with modern high voltage coils , you
might  get a hefty HT jolt through your body to earth .
Have you changed the condenser ??,you can only really test this by
substituting a condenser from an ignition system which works . I installed
three new condensers in an attempt to start my P3 . They were all faulty ,
probably from Lucas' Lower Slobovia , it burst into life when I installed a
ratty looking condenser which had been in my tool box for about 20 years
You could also have faulty distributor cap  , many new items are made in the
same plant as the condensers .
Original Lucas stuff made in Birmingham was some times junk , modern pattern
parts are far less dependable !!
Cheers 
 Patrick

Message-ID: <SNT136-w175E1814E9E549336B35A0BDE10@phx.gbl>


Before I put this up on eBay I thought I would offer it here amongst other Roverphiles.  Again it is a 1969 2000 TC that is NOT running.  The body is mostly sound except for where the floors meet the rocker panels.  I just rebuilt the carbs and haven't installed them.  The water pump is newly rebuilt, along with the generator and control box.  The rear brakes were newly installed back in 96.  The suspension and front brakes need work to make it road worthy.  I have owned this Rover for 17 years and have rarely had the time and space to work on it.  It would be a great resto or parts car.  I will not be parting it out.  I had in mind asking $500 for the car and all the spares I have for it.  I can't provide delivery but can hold on to it until it is arranged.  Please e-mail if you have any questions.  Please pass this along to anyone who might be interested.  By the way the car is located in Saint Paul, Minnesota.  Thanks.

Tom

I'm way behind on my Rovernet reading, so my apologies if someone else has already posted this:

http://bringatrailer.com/2010/05/18/may-29th-oregon-barn-find-auction/

There appear to be at least two P6's in this bunch, maybe three Hillmans, and a variety of MGB's, Spridgets, Fiats, Triumphs, and other arcana from across the pond.  Not to mention a Studebaker Lark and that holy grail of Fords, a Mustang II.  Fortunately it's too far away from me to be easy to get to, or I might find myself doing something stupid...

The owner of the Panelcraft drop head is Bruce Duncan of the NSW Rover

I don't think he is on the group. If you like I will pass on your

Bill, 



No one else jumped in. So, I will give it a try. I just happened to have a few extra coils laying about that I could measure. All three of them measured about 3.8 ohms when measured across the two smaller terminals. Measuring from one of the small terminals to the center (High Tension) terminal I got three different reading (three coils) ranging from 6,400 to 8,200 ohms. The highest reading was from a new Pertronix "Flame Thrower" coil. This would have to do with a higher turns ratio and a slightly higher output voltage. So, if you are in the 3.8 ohm range across the two smaller terminals and no reading from any terminal to the body (ground) your coil should be okay. The coil is simply a transformer taking the 12 volts DC input and increasing it to 20,000 volts AC, or more to fire the gap across the plugs. If you have any fire across the plugs you should be fine, so search elsewhere for your problem. ?It takes fuel also to run the engine and the timing of the spark must be correct. If you have points, you can easily check the dead timing to see where they points are opening, or if you have a timing light, you can see where the timinig marks are set. The points themselves are in there simply to make and break the 12 volt DC into a pulsating 12 volt DC to cause transformer action. Dc voltage will not give any reaction through the coil. It must be pulsating Dc which fools the coil into thinking that it is AC voltage. The condenser (capacitor) is there to dampen the arcing across the points. Without the condenser, the points would weld themselves together very quickly. If you are getting spark and think that the timing is close, try a little starting fluid into the carbs. If it then fires, you have a fuel problem. 



Good luck, keep us posted. 



Slats?

Hi Jim,
I have many new ones. I expect Dermot and Ruth do also. They are also 
used on MGB and Triumph.

Hi Jim,

I do have a very serviceable light unit L839 that is set up for the left
side but can be rearranged to fit the right as well. All I want is for you
to pay the postage. Give me your address and I can get a price from the post
office if you are interested.

The colour of the spark is the only way, it is the voltage and the energy 
that are needed.  A multimeter won't do it!
A blue spark is good, limp yellow isn't.

Gents,

I'm finally getting around to buttoning up my P6 rear calipers- unfortunately, the markings I put on the "beam" and the wedgy piece which contacts the handbrake tappet and hydraulic piston somehow came off. The manual urges you to refit them in the direction they came, presumably to match wear patterns. I'm guessing that it's not particularly critical, and was wondering if anyone can verify my hunch. 

Cheers,

Nathan

The groove in the beam is not symmetrical.
You will need to refit it the correct way.
However I can't remember what that is!

Nathan,
Your question motivated me to (at last :-( )install our Prez's (Malcolm) article on his research into Rover P6/P6B rear calipers on our website under "Practical Tips". It's now at the bottom of the page as a PDF file.  It's worth a read.

Eric, et al,

I had seen Malcolm's article earlier, but forgot that it addressed differences in beams. I've got the late style caliper, which explains why the beam looks symmetrical- unlike the mid version, it IS symmetrical. I guess I don't have to worry. The self-adjustment mechanism seems to be adjusting fine when the handbrake lever is actuated, so I think I'm good to go- time to move on to the other side rear caliper! 

Thanks to all,

Nathan

Good for you.
The article first appeared in the Club magazine, the Roverview, so members got to see that much earlier in time. It has just been released for the website but I was caught up in life and didn't complete my task until your post reminded me........ thanks....

Well, I for one appreciate all the effort which goes into writing these technical tips (Malcolm) and the other responsibilities related to keeping the Rovernet up and running (you!) I'm a little embarrassed that I didn't think of referring to this article by myself. The days of having a "mind like a steel trap" vanished when we had a child!

As a somewhat heretical aside, working on a P6 really makes me appreciate the thought that went into engineering German and Japanese cars. If you're going to make a part which has to be oriented in a particular direction, why not make it so it will ONLY fit in that direction? (i.e. different size studs, a small pin and matching hole, something like that.)

Consider that the P6 and these calipers were designed 50 years ago. Fifty years ago, Japanese automotive engineering was nothing like today. And not in a good way. German cars of the era have their own share of assembly & design nightmares.

Vern,

I agree with you to an extent- when I said "Japanese and German designs" I was thinking of newer vehicles, and as you noted, that's not really a fair comparison. On the other hand, in my admittedly limited experience, other early sixties designs I have serviced (MGB and the BMW 2002) I would definitely consider easier to repair than a P6.

I played with this thing for a week now and it finally started ........It originally did not start and after changing the cap, rotor, points, and condensor....still nothing.....i mistakenly believed i had mixed up the plug leads on the cap........i finally found a plug lead setup in an intereurope Repair Manual........It coincided with my brothers setup on his engine in my garage.....i tried this and after days gave up..........i since found an old picture i took of the engine and lo and behold the plug lead setup is not like the book , nor Erics........i'm the 2 plug lead back from the pigtail to the left........or 1 more clockwise from the drawing .........I can't explain it but its running and the rotor is pointing to #4 at TDC.......it doesn't crank the fastest but runs........can the dist need a rebuild

Thanks for all the suggestions

Take notes. Take pictures. Keep them in a few places, glovebox, with your registration, in your repair manual. In 5 years,...... you'll have no idea ... priceless. :-)

If you sell your car.... it will be back to the drawing board for the new owner.

You'll have to hope that Paul remembers   ROFLMHO

Hi Bill, and congratulations.
   The distributor being in possibly the wrong place brings back 
memories to me. Is it a D24 or similar? I once had managed to hastily 
put one in a 2.25 Land Rover wrong. It is possible to engage the dog on 
the bottom of the shaft incorrectly. Not easy, but possible.  Does it 
look a little like an out of balance washing machine as it spins? If it 
seems to be 180 degrees out, I'd pull it and have a look-see. It sounds 
like you're pretty good at swapping the ignition stuff around, so it 
shouldn't take too long. When I experienced that, I wound up shearing 
the ears of the distributor dog off, and it was just at dusk. 
Thankfully spare parts were on board. Good luck with it!

How many Rovers were sold in Alaska? These two are definitely early, they have the sharks tooth valance.

Rudiger do you have these two in your database? Do we have any Rover enthusiasts in Alaska who might need them?

Look at the boot lid bottom, the car could be very rusted.
I'd like to inspect it.

Subject: [Rovernet ] Glass Roof New York Show Car
Message-ID: <4BFD94FC.9020909@att.net>

Hi Netters,
I recently discovered pictures of the 2000TC with Triplex Glass roof 
that was the New York Auto Show exhibit in eithe '68 or '69.  I'm not 
sure of the details.  The pictures were made by long time Roverphile and 
owner, Robert Arnold, when he owned the car in 1978.  I also have a 
letter from Arnold to Ron Jones, who subsequently wound up with the 
car.  The last I heard from Robert Arnold was several years ago.  At the 
time he was living on Vancouver Island.  I'm sure he could shed some 
more light on the car.

Eric has posted the pictures in a webalbum at:

http://www.roverclub.ca/kkinardroof.html

Thank you, Eric.

Rovereproducively,
Kent K.

Hi Kent (and the rest of the Rovernutters)

I'm still here on the list. I follow the list postings faithfully, 
but haven't posted anything because I'm still roverless (but hopeful) 
since we moved to Amsterdam for a couple of years, then here to 
Vancouver Island three years ago. And since I don't have a Rover, 
there's not a lot for me to say. Yep, I've been lurking silently for 
five years!

The glass-roof Rover was my first Rover - and responsible for more 
than thirty years of Rover addiction. I bought it in 1976 when I was 
living in Rockland County, New York, about 15 miles north of NYC. I 
bought it through an ad in the paper from a guy in New Jersey. At the 
time, I was working at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the city and 
the glass-roof gem was my daily driver. I'm still amazed that it 
survived three years of being parked in NYC without getting smashed.

The car was the most fun to drive of any car I've ever had (except 
perhaps for the '53 flat rad Morgan that I had way back in the 60s). 
Yes, it got wicked hot in the summertime, and while it did have A/C, 
it was useless because it couldn't overcome the greenhouse effect 
when you rolled up the windows, not to mention that using the A/C at 
anything below highway speeds caused the car to overheat. But with 
the windows down, it didn't get uncomfortably hot unless you got 
stuck in a traffic jam. And in any event, it was such a glorious ride 
that little things like sunstroke just didn't matter.

Somehow, Ron Jones found out about the car and contacted me to see if 
I wanted to sell it. The car was starting to show some serious 
rust-through and I couldn't afford to restore it, but couldn't stand 
letting it deteriorate any further so I decided to let him have it. I 
didn't want money, though, I wanted another Rover. So I told him that 
I'd trade it for a mint-condition, rust-free TC2000 and enough new 
spares to replace anything that might go wrong in the forseeable 
future. Plus, I got to keep my MagStars. He agreed and in the spring 
of 1979 I drove my baby down to San Antonio and did the trade for a 
pristine Arden Green TC that became my daily driver for the next five 
or six years.

If anyone has any questions about the Triplex Rover, don't hesitate 
to ask - otherwise I'll go back to lurking until I get another Rover.

R.

BTW - I'm currently rebuilding my website from the ground up. When I 
get it finished there will be a section about some of the more 
interesting cars I've had over the years, including a section with 
the Triplex Rover and the TC that I traded it for. Prolly won't be 
done for another month or so, but I'll let you know when it's ready.

BTW#2 - On the website Eric mentions that the interior of the Triplex 
Rover looked brown. It was actually black - just looks brown in the 
slightly faded old photos. It was supposedly some sort of special 
UV-resistant vinyl. Don't know if that's true, but the seats always 
stayed in perfect condition, never fading or cracking. In fact, I 
ended up swapping them with the seats that were in the TC that Ron 
traded me and they stayed just as nice for the whole time I had the 
car.

Outstanding!!!  So glad to hear from you, Robert.  I emailed you several 
times after we missed connections a couple of years ago and then lost 
your address.  There are plenty of nice Rovers out there close to you....

Glass roof is now loose and will probably go on a 3500S.  Part of the 
heat problem may have been the black interior, but I agree that looking 
up through the roof is an awesome experience.

Roverly,
Kent K.

So,...... due to security concerns, I am letting the following email address get disconnected:

My NEW main address will be:

That is the one which I will also have directed to my POP email account.

Hello,

 

Nice to see another Triplex roof comes to the daylight...

 

The zip-in headlining helped to keep out some of the heat.

 

My own roof was sold to Roland in the UK through this pages after I sold all my P6's and has founded a cross-channel friendship :-)

 

One more roof was crashed on a Belgian motorway when the material "glueing" it to the roofframe perished.  A sickening experience for the crook driving it at the time 

 

Rumours are that there where about twelve roofs made.  Where are the other ones R?diger?

 

I still have the original sales-leaflet lying around somewhere.

 

Yves

Eric -

Feel free to use whatever you want. I think I may have more photos of 
the car - if I can find them, I'll digitize them and email them to 
you or put them up on my website so you can grab them.

How many Rovers were sold in Alaska? These two are definitely early, they have the sharks tooth valance.

Rudiger do you have these two in your database? Do we have any Rover enthusiasts in Alaska who might need them? 

James.

Subject: [Rovernet ] 1971 NADA 2000 TC for sale in SC
Message-ID: <578862.93286.qm@web34207.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi all,

Because of suddenly changing circumstances beyond my control (that have me beside myself for several reasons), I must sell my '71 NADA Rover 2000 TC and its spares and accessories.  Here is a link to several pictures taken Monday evening:

http://picasaweb.google.com/fjcumberland/1971Rover2000TC02?feat=directlink 

In the pictures the center console is off because I replaced the gear lever, which appears to have sorted the reverse engagement issue I was having.  The car is tuned and running beautifully thanks to the efforts of a good friend from the UK who has come over to help me mend cars.  The car has Delanair AC fitted, and comes with a new (modern) compressor, mounting bracket, hoses, etc. - they are in the boot right now.

If you know of anyone who may be interested, please pass on the the details.  FWIW, the LH indicator lamp lens is on my table waiting for installation tomorrow.

I'm asking $6250 obo for the car.  

FWIW - I've also got 

*  a 2.2L SC engine with auto box - $375 ovno,

*  a 2.0 TC engine w/manual - $375 ovno,

*  Nine correct wire wheels with hubs & nuts imported from the UK.  The wire wheels are 2 sets - 1 set of 4 that have been powdercoated silver, w/hubs & nuts, and one set of 5 that need to be refurbished.  I will sell one of the set of 5 as a spare for the set of four.  Also, I have the proper decagonal knock-off wrench.  I need about $1250 ono for the refurbished wheels, including their hubs & nuts.  The unrefurbished set will be slightly less. 

* a David Bache roof rack in extremely good lightly used condition in its original box - POA, (but not stupid price),

* a NOS Leyland tow bar in original box - POA (but not stupid price),

* 5 "Rostyles" - 3 of one kind & 2 of the other - make me an offer.

* internal door parts

* Series I black door cards & rear seats

* DeDion tube

* spare fuel tank

* cloth Series II UK-spec seats in Sandalwood - fronts and rears

My cell is 803.238.5626 (not always on, but leave a message) or email me here at fjcumberland at yahoo.com .  I'll have the car listed elsewhere in the next few days, but wanted to give the Rovernetters first shout.

As most/all of you know, I am moving from SC to Buffalo this summer.  I'd strongly prefer to sell the car before I move, so no sensible offer refused.

Cheers,

Jim

We'll look forward to having you closer to Central New York this summer.  Sorry to see you selling the car.  

Do you know what year the spare engine and transmission is?  Engine number?

I'm interested especially if it is a Series II engine; I need to put together a mated engine/transmission set for my other Series II (#74 of the series sent here - 43500074A.)  I've a surplus of Series I engines and transmissions, but it would be nice to get closer to the original engine number.   The Series II I'm driving is 43500072A, engine number 85905287F. The engine of #74 is missing, but I'm supposing it's original engine number would have been close to #72s.  

Hank

We'll look forward to having you closer to Central New York this summer.  Sorry to see you selling the car.  

Do you know what year the spare engine and transmission is?  Engine number?

I'm interested especially if it is a Series II engine; I need to put together a mated engine/transmission set for my other Series II (#74 of the series sent here - 43500074A.)  I've a surplus of Series I engines and transmissions, but it would be nice to get closer to the original engine number.   The Series II I'm driving is 43500072A, engine number 85905287F. The engine of #74 is missing, but I'm supposing it's original engine number would have been close to #72s.  

Hank

you may be interested in the 1970 Rover TC that I have for sale. It is in 
good condition after a rebuild a few years ago.  I live in Courtenay in the 
Comox Valley north of Nanaimo.
I can send you photos in side and out if you like.   Further, if plannig to 
come over to the Island to see it, you may stay here for supper, overnight 
and breakfast!  I have been a member of the Rover Gang for many years, am 
now 83, and have a dilapidated l968 with sun roof and weathered paint job 
for my daily needs.    !!   Cheers, Ian Potts, l975 Dogwood Drive, 
Courtenay.   phone 250-334-0673.

Hi Robert & Eric
Would you mind if I used one or more of your pictures and (some) of your 
descriptive text in our club magaizne Driving Force?
Also as a matter of interest, have you got the chassis number of the car 
because I'd like to look it up in the Rover archive to see what if anything 
is in there. My direct email is below if you do have the chassis number.
Cheers

Speak Soon
Warmest regards
Mark

Mark,
I'm fine with all that. However, I am quoting Kent and Robert. Kent supplied the pictures. I thought it would all be interesting if we posted the information on the RCCC website. So,..... if Kent and Robert are OK - I'm OK.  :-)

I don't have any more technical information than what you can see (remember the seats are black - not brown. I'll have to fix that when life stops getting in the way of play :-(

Mark and Robert,
I approached Eric with the photos simply because the car was an 
interesting historical item and the roof, which I now own, is unusual. 
Publication was a foregone conclusion. Robert gave the photos to Ron and 
I bought them from Ron's estate. Any photos which I supplied may be 
published with only an acknowledgment of the source. Any other photos 
which Robert supplies are his property.

Roverly,

Ian,
Robert is on the Island. He lives "just down the road" from you. I tried 
to make contact with him when I was at your house.

I have not heard back from Robert about using his words in the presentation.

However, Kent has given you the OK to use the photos and his words.

Yes, of course - please feel free to use any of my rover photos 
anywhere you want. I'll let you know when I have more up on my 
website.

Great!. Thanks Robert.

Hi Mark -

Please feel free to use any of my photos or text. I've searched my 
records, but haven't found anything with the VIN #. While I'm a 
compulsive saver of stuff, finding it is another matter entirely and 
1979 was a long time ago...

Peter,

In the USA, the front and back license plates are almost always very 
similar. In fact, in most states where two are required, they are 
absolutely identical and have unique alphanumerical characters that 
identify the automobile and its registered owner.

Australia must be a wonderful place. We could never get away with swirly 
metallic paint on our license plates. Good on ya, Bruce.

;-)

Hi Peter,
Thanks for posting the pics. Two observations about the car. It has no 
side trim. Is this typical of Series 2 P6B in Australia? The car has a 
vinyl roof treatment. Is this original? The New York car had a vinyl roof.

Roverly,
Kent K.

You mean Series 1 Kent?

I am not a P6 "expert" so cant tell you for sure. But if you look at
the P6 Set 
http://www.flickr.com/photos/rccapics/sets/72157608782700346/
you will see some series 1 cars have side trim and some don't. I will
ask our club experts to comment and let you know.

Yes the glasstop has vinyl roof, sorry I don't know the details of
originality. Will ask the owner and get back to you.

Very helpful. I would expect no side trim on Series 1 and side trim on 
all Series 2. Unfortunately, I have an RHD Series 2 export model with no 
sided trims and am attempting to discover if it ever had them. Old 
pictures of the car show no side trims, so the change, if it was a 
change was made early on. It doesn't help that the doors have been 
changed to Series 1. The car was sold new in Singapore. Do you happen to 
know the VIN prefix for the Nelson built cars?

Yes, please.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Kent,

Here are sone more details of the car pfovided by the current
custodian:

"Hi Guys,

Some details about my "glass top".
It came off the production line 21 August 1970 and was sent to Regent
Motors in Melbourne as an export car, not a CKD. It was registered as
a 1971 model (or may have not been registered until 1971); I do not
have records of when Regent Motors received it.

The glass roof is tinted as I believe all glass roofs were. Mine now
has Mk 2 seats and door trims as those items were "not good" when I
got the car; the Mk 2 trim is red. The engine is a high compression
Suffix 'C' model as was the original, lower 
numbered, engine. The gearbox in my car is from a Leyland P76 (the car
did not have an engine or gearbox when I purchased it).

There was at least one other glass roofed car in Australia but I
believe that something fell from the garage roof; the owner had a
perspex replacement made so the story goes. I do not know the story
behind the Glass Roof that was for sale in Queensland some time ago;
if I had lived closer to it I would have hired a light truck with lots
of foam for packaging and bought it.

My information, now about 10 years old, is that there are at least two
original glass topped cars in UK - not sure whether P6's or P6B's. 

I think there were only 16 or 18 glass roofed cars ever on the road;
can anyone confirm the exact number?

A warning is: do not sit in the stationary car for more than 10
minutes when ambient 
temperature rises above about 16 C. You need air flow through the
cabin as it does not have air conditioning. Travelling at night or
through a rain storm with lightning can be spectacular!

My wife made a replacement roof lining using milliam (spelling?)
curtain lining. This can be zipped in just like the original BLACK
cotton; we haven't had to use it yet due to judicious choice of days
that  we take the car out!"

Re the NZ P6 production. Does James Taylor in his P6 book say
anything, I don't have a copy?

Cheers,

Peter H

Hi Gianluca,
This is a fairly common conversion and I've always been attracted to it. 
Automatic trans can be either Triumph or Rover but they are virtually 
the same. Headers (tubular exhaust) and engine mounting must be 
fabricated. Headers might make it a little noisier than a stock Stag and 
headers make the engine compartment hotter.

I have never seen an air dam on the front like this one. It improves the 
looks of the Stag considerably. I like it!!

Some things to check on the Stag...halfshafts use splined slip joints 
and must be well lubricated. Slip joints can seize and splines can 
twist. Look for corrosion on the rear suspension arms also.

Looking at the front suspension of the Stag/2000/2500, you can tell that 
the same minds produced the SD1 and TR7/TR8.

RoverTriumphantly,
Kent K.

I have read several places that the problems with the Triumph V8 have 
been easily fixable for years, just as the problems inherent in the 
Rover V8 are fixable now. It's sort of a shame that the originality of 
what few Stags remain is so commonly destroyed, not to mention that some 
Rover was also trashed to build this car. I'm not one to say that 
everyone must keep their cars in factory form, but it just seems to me 
that this model represented one of the high water marks of the Triumph 
brand, and it should probably be more properly respected by Triumph 
lovers. Anyone know how many of these were produced and how many remain?

I'm with Glen on this one. I know or a fact that Stags in the UK are  
worth considerably less if they have had the Rover conversion.

To add to Glen's statement yes there are dramatically improved engines  
out there now. I believe that there are improved cylinder heads  
available from millenium engineering. They have better cooling  
galleries and many other improvements.

Like a lot of BL products they were badly harmed by the guys who were  
meant build them also sabotaged then. So sand left in the blocks after  
casting, poor assembly etc.

The engine was an all alloy 3 litre V8. It was based on the slant four  
fitted to the Dolomite 1800 and the TR7 it had some issues but was  
basically a sound design (I had two UK spec TR7s in a previous life).  
I seem to remember that it was at one time the smallest production V8  
available.

There was a lot of argument about why a Rover V8 wasn't used for the  
stag. Some said that it was because Triumph engineers wanted to make  
sure that it wasn't stained with a rover engine. But an interview  
with, I think, Spen King (who designed the slant four engine that the  
triumph V8 was based on) Mr King stated that Rover V8 production was  
already Maxed out before the stag was produced. Not sure I believe  
that but an interesting point.

That's my shillings worth.

Hello everyone,
There is also a very active Triumph club based out of Toronto that has an
active Stag group.  They are an enthusiastic bunch and have echoed what
you have written --that there are improved methods and parts for
rebuilding the Stag 3.0 litre V8 and that reliable engines are out there.
 There are two local Stags: one BRG, and one Magenta --definitely a
period 1970s color(!).

Best regards,
Dan

Yes, fitting the Rover engine destroys originality.

You can build two Rover V8's for what it costs to build a good Stag V8, 
though.

True.

The Stag engine is not all alloy. It has a cast iron block as does the 
slant four. The Stag V8 weighs considerably more than the Rover V8 while 
the slant four and the Rover V8 are comparable in weight.

Spen King did not design the Triumph engine. He did not move to Triumph 
from Rover until the spring of 1968 by which time the slant four was 
already in production and the specification for the Stag V8 was nearly 
final. King did insist that the V8 be taken out to three litres.

The Stag V8 was under development and in the pipeline long before the BL 
merger. Lewis Dawtrey's proposal for the Triumph V8 and related slant 4 
was approved in 1963, predating the Rover V8 by several years. The V8 
was actually designed first and the four resulted from cutting down the 
V8 design. Triumph received inquiries from Saab for the four cylinder 
version before the first engine was even built (Riccardo had contracts 
with both companies and arranged for them to get together. Saab had 
their own very similar engine running when they learned of the Triumph 
engine from Riccardo. Saab abandoned their engine in favor of the 
Triumph four.). Because Triumph received a contract from Saab to produce 
the slant 4, the four went into production first. The initial engines 
running in 1965. Since the four and V8 blocks were to be machined on the 
same transfer tooling, it made some sense to proceed with the Triumph V8 
even after the Rover engine became a possibility. Initial plans for the 
Stag V8 called for 2.5 litre capacity, but torque output at that 
displacement was too low. Design parameters (bore spacing and crankcase 
space) allowed future V8 displacements up to 4 litres. There was at 
least one Triumph 2000/2500 shell built with the 3 litre Stag V8 for 
"executive" use.

The Rover engine is not an easy fit in the Stag engine bay, the exhaust 
headers being very restrictive and the Rover engine with twin SU's is 
too tall.

The Rover engine has also been fitted successfully to the Dolomite body.

It is true that Rover V8 production was maxed out. Rover was selling 
every one they could build in P5B's and P6B's. The Range Rover was under 
development as was the P8 and both would require V8 engines. The 
combination of engineering changes to the Stag necessary to fit the 
Rover engine to the Stag and the ability to machine the Triumph V8 on 
existing tooling (though some changes were required) plus the limited 
engine production capacity at Rover, meant that cancelling the Triumph 
V8 was never seriously considered.

The same circumstances delayed TR8 production by two to four years. 
Rover introduced the SD1 in 1976 and TR8 prototypes were on the road in 
1974 with some being sent to the US in 1978, but the popularity of the 
SD1 and the Range Rover and limited engine production capacity kept the 
TR8 from ever achieving full production. MGB-V8 production suffered from 
the same lack of engine production capacity. Rover got the engines 
because markup on their high end models made for better profits for BL.
