1972 P5B Saloon - Admiralty Blue + Jensen alloys.

[shed]

Evening all,

Finally took some pics of the exterior / interior of my P5B saloon as it was such a nice day. Its a low ownership car - 54k miles (I've done 3000 miles in 3 months!)

Finished an LPG conversion and just had some Jensen Mk3 alloys refurbished to update the look somewhat; may not be to everyone's taste but I think they suit quite well;









Cheers,

Steve

Hi Adam, trust that Coupe is going well?

The wheels were a set I had from the Jensen, had them re-furbed by a place in Kent - very reasonably priced too.

Hi Barry - it was at Virginia Water Lakes near Egham, took the pics today - there was a supercar type meet; the P5 was the oldest there by a fair few years!

Thanks for the comments (none bad yet!)

Cheers,

Steve.

Now those wheels do look the business - I have never thought the Chrome Rostyles were anything but a cheapskate update. Rover/Leyland should have stuck with the dinner plate hub caps (nave plates actually) or gone for something like these wheels..

The rest of the car looks good too

Any chance of a photo of the LPG tank at rear please
To see how low it sits and looks
Again car looks spot on

Hi Pat,

Ref: LPG tank - there are a few pics in this thread;

roverp5.proboards31.com/index.cgi?board=general31&action=display&thread=1158755570&page=3

In reality the tank does sit lower than the original spare wheel carrier; about 2" lower at its lowest point.

If you need anymore pictures - or to see/try it with the LPG drop me a line.

Cheers,

Steve

Hi Pat,
