Dear Netters,
As my health fails and my family obligations increase (grandchild number
nine is on the way), I must reluctantly admit that some of my dreams
will not be finished.
Chief among them are my two P5/P5B projects.
My P5B Coupe is a very early one (November 1967) that I foolishly began
converting to LHD. The body is very solid, having received new "A" and
"D" posts and new middle and outer sills. This project includes many
new parts...too many to list, and parts (including the subframe) from
another P5B coupe which I parted out years ago. The car has a clear
Texas title in my name. I'm happy to discuss history and details.
My P5 Mk. III saloon (LHD, 4spd/OD) is a car I took in trade from Gordon
Harrower. It needs sills, "A" and "D" posts and wings. I have another
P5 Mk. III that has a good body but is basically stripped. I have the
title that Gordon supplied, but it is not in his name. If it weren't so
rare (87 LHD export manual trans cars built over the two years of
produciton), I would part it out as it has the few parts (bumpers and
dash pad) that the P5B needs.
I see myself as a temporary custodian of these cars and feel it is time
to pass them on to more energetic ownership.
Roverly,
Kent Kinard
