[Rovernet] part number for early Rover V8 camshaft

[Glen R Wilson]

If you are ever on a big money game show and are only allowed one call, 
be smart and let it be Pierre Janusz. I know from personal experience 
since he went through my basement one time picking up the odd P3 part 
and immediately identifying it. Yes, he does make house calls if you 
have a sufficiently oddball collection that piques his interest, and he 
won't charge travel expenses.
