<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Pierre,</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Just to clarify (I know you know this)
the 3500S Auto (FED/NADA) and the 3500S Manual (UK et al) are two
different cars. <br>
<br>
Re Taylor book, I found from the USA perspective that Taylor was
pretty much spot on for the models we received here. Can't speak
for other details and other models. But I know you have held in
your hands just about every P6 part that was ever manufactured and
have all of the parts manuals, as well.<br>
<br>
Re the car in question, the seller could have avoided all the
inaccuracies by simply Googling the car or going to Wikipedia, and
ought to have done if they are in the car selling business. To me
the car looks like a very well preserved 103,000 mile example and
quite original except for the Edlebrock carb and intake.<br>
<br>
I had an SD1 that came with the Holley 390 cfm carb installed. It
was brutally powerful but I never could get it to run well at
anything expect full throttle. I installed one of those Eddlebrock
carbs, and the thing ran beautifully even before making
adjustments, but it was nowhere near as thrilling to drive. Many
V8 people in the USA were stymied by the dual SUs, and if they had
100k on them the throttle shafts would have been leaking making
them impossible to adjust properly. Went through that with several
clapped out MGBs that fit my budget when I had no understanding at
first and no cash to have them rebushed later. Back then the
downdraft Weber was about $99 including intake manifold, and that
carb transformed my MGB. No-brainer.<br>
<br>
Anyway, very decent P6. Would be nice to see a more accurate
advertisement and no claim that those were the only original
miles. A 3000-mile car would be worth quite a bit more than a 100k
car and be in better mechanical shape, most likely.<br>

<div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">If you have got your
information from the James Taylor book, then as has often been
the case with his works, the information is simply wrong.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(i) The circular instrument were introduced on the 3500S
Auto designed for the North American market which was built
between 1969 and maybe as late as 1971, so they were not
introduced in 1971 but 2 years earlier;</div>
<div>(ii) The teardrop head restraints were introduced also for
the 3500S Auto, so they were not intriduced in 1972;</div>
<div>(iii) Leather did nit replace Ambla in 1972. The correct
information is that the Ambla box pleated seats were
introduced also on the 3500S Auto as standard fitment,
although youy could pay extra top have the original design of
leather seats.</div>
<div>(iv) So far as cars other than the 3500S Auto, when the
3500S Manual was introduced in late 1971 it was fitted with
teh box pleat Ambla seats as per the 3500S Auto, but again
with the option of leather seats;</div>
<div>(v) From late 1973 onwards, at the time that the 2200 was
introduced, both the Ambla box pleat seats and the original
design leather seats were replaced by a choice of leather box
pleat seats or nylon box pleat seats (both with thinner squabs
than the original seat design (and to my mind inferior)).</div>
<div>(vi) I can't speak about the mph/kph speedo issue in New
Zealand in 1972, but I am fairly sure that NZ and Australia
had converted to metric before then, but in the period when
the 3500S Auto was on sale, both the US and Canada were still
using miles.</div>
