P5 On The Move

After being transported to our friends at Auto Transmissions, our 1973 Rover P5 had some mobile work completed by Jonn and John.

Here are Jonn’s notes about the repair:

Travel to Mersea island to attend to car. Poor running reported. Strip carbs and remove float bowl tops. Clean out. Remove suction Chambers and blow through jets and float bowls. Reassemble both carbs. John remove and clean spark plugs and refit. Remove fuel filter and clean out. Refit and fill with 10ltrs fuel. Turn ignition on to fill filter and carbs and check for leaks, ok. Road test but engine pinking under acceleration. Adjust timing and raise idle speed and retest, ok. Return to workshop.

Rover P5 Repairs

Rob has cut out the corrosion on the left-hand rear chassis rail of our 1973 Rover P5. He then repaired the panels and welded them in.

Steve then fitted new door mirrors. He made some new aluminium mirror mounts as the ones that were on the car were plastic and are prone to coming loose.

Inspection Of Our P5

Since being transported from its owner to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop, our 1973 Rover P5 has been in the hands of classic car technician Jonn.

He has been giving the car a thorough inspection and assessment and a report of his findings is currently being put together.
