HELLO THERE I just joined this forum tonight hoping to get more info on these p5b coupes.
just wondering if any other members are here in the united states.
i know there used to be a rover car club in USA but i guess it is gone now.
my brother was in the air force in england from 1980-84
he shipped a 1967 p5b coupe back to the states when he came home.and the car is still here.
i just wanted to chat and maybe learn a little more about these interesting cars.
thanks for listening

There are a few. Litho springs to mind. If you have time, you could try trawling through the members list for clues. Good that the car is still extant and that you are interested. Tell us more about it.

no pictu7res at this time
the car is unfortunately dissassembled
my brother passed away in 1987 and the car is sitting in my parents garage for the past 20 years
the engine is disassembled all ready to put back together
(had maching work done etc) tranny is out torque converter rebuilt
my brother strippedc the entier car to bare metal so there is some very light suface rust on the panels from sitting we drove this car in 1984-1985 here in the states
it got alot of looks
as i recall it had a nice sound and was quitefun to drive
(you get alot of stares when your sitting on the (wrong)side
my brother loved this car
it has the chrome wheels
he has new fenders for it
very little rust .just here and there
i remember there being an issue with finding correct pistons
i will need alot of assistance putting it back together
mostly in the form of detailed photos of engine compartment etc
i'll post more later thanks for listening

You should get something if you put a few words into SEARCH eg California?

Join the club and have access to the best information and spare parts in the WORLD!!
If you pm me then I can give you the email of a fellow P5B coupe owner stateside. He knows at least one other I put him in contact with maybe a few others as well...

kennelson is another 'yank' on the board. Doing a SEARCH is a good idea, try various keywords eg USA, States etc and I think you will be surprised just how many there are of you with P5s in the old colony!
