[Rovernet] R: - Rover P5 mark III 3.0 automatic info

[Derek Bowers]

Be sure to checknout your chassis. I have a 56 p4 but Rover put batting in
their box frame (at least in the 50's). This resulted in if you had any
moisure get in it soaked it up like a sponge and rotted from the inside
out.  I new of some severe rot I new I would need to get repaired but once
I had it sand blasted found out how bad it really was.

Now I'm in a fix trying to locate a replacement. Being in Canada makes it
that much more difficult to source out.

Hope yours is in decent condition and all the best on your project!

Derek
