[Rovernet] Projects I will never finish

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
San Antonio, Texas
