This silicon dioxide is it like the brown slag you sometimes see on MIG or TIG welds?
Wonder if my V8 110 would have any problems, best fit the straight through exhaust sooner rather than later. Also planning a few other minor upgrades to take it up to about 250hp clearly with monster trailer pulling torque potential.

IBWET,
I bow to your knowledge in this subject. I was just trying to show the type of car it is not the exact model.
I could never afford to run something like that myself. I always looked on with envy at the rich people that could afford a car like that.

You didn't have to be that rich-I had an ex-police V8 SD1 when I was 18. Great fun-and I was a completely irresponsible idiot with it.
I know where there's 2 or 3 P5's laid up in a barn near here-old F plate, 2600 engines afaik. Doubt they're much good anymore.

NOS I think you must mean P4, P5s were all V8 weren't they?
I have always really liked the P5B Coupe and if I ever find a goodun Id buy it thing is they rotted like hell so there are not that many left.

Sorry I was wrong
Rover produced two main P5 types;
the 3 Litre Straight Six, known as a P5 and the 3.5 Litre V8 known as the P5B
Both of these models were available in a choice of Saloon or Coupe, the latter being the most desirable.
The P5 (3 Litre) had an option of a manual with overdrive or automatic gearbox.
The P5B (3.5 Litre) was only available as an automatic.

Might be-I'm not sure. It's the same body type as the one Biggles posted anyway. I remember the P5's having the 3.5 V8 anyway. I've got a tuning book here somewhere with details on how to mod them
I know someone up here who's got a P5B and it's prob for sale but I wouldn't have one-the P5B AFAIK was a 3L V8 chevy or pontiac or somesuch engine not the 3500 V8 and they weren't very good-or it might hae been the other way round-but I know the one the guy I know has is the 3 litre.
Oh soddit, I'm confused.
