Hello,

It now seems probable I will acquire a 1960 Rover 100. As near as I can tell from external checks, the body and interior are good. If the engine compression and a look underneath checks out, I guess I am back into another project. Is there not a pill one can take to cure this infection?

Anyway, here is the question: I have looked around for parts and a source for technical support. While there are several suppliers in the U.K., are there any here in the colonies? I know for sure the brake hydraulics, suspension and steering bushings will need work. If I can get it going down the road, we can test the transmission and rear end.

Thanks again,

Glen

You can't be cured once you start............I run my 2000TC as my driver .......was using my P3 as a weekender and am presently working on rebuilding my V8 3500S for my wife to drive.........Its a disease that spreads ............unforunately my garage space and driveway don't spread to meet my needs.........LOL but i still keep looking for my next Rover..................I'd like a P5B now after i finish the 3500S....thinking ahead and hoping wife doesn't read this
