	Bit of a change to my marina it's as good as it looks and drives very well....needs a couple of small bits of paint and it has a small cut in the vinyl roof so I will have a go at re covering it...interior is in lovely original condition... wanted one for ages and this came up on ebay sat on there a while and nobody bid so I made a cheeky offer and after a bit of deliberation from the seller it was all mine...it was the other end of the country to me but shiply came to the rescue with a cracking price......

	first job is to change the dodgy looking fuel hose it says its go cart fuel hose but a bit of the proper black rubber hose will be better I think

	blimey...that sent me off way back to another time!! I learned to drive in my granddads (meicxo?) brown n reg 3.5 auto p6 , a near identical car barring no vinyl roof and more rust. that is delightful , what are your plans for it?

	no real plans, just improve the little bits of paint and there are only 2 50p sized scabs showing one on the top of the rear wing by the fuel filler and one starting to show on the o/s rear door bottom theres a cut in the huntsman roof so will re cover that at some point over winter along with both c post outer panels when i've sourced 2 good ones as these are a bit rotten (but will repair if I cant find any) and after that just use it for shows next year

	Had this in my watch list on eBay! Glad it's found it's way here though, what a lovely looking thing. My uncle had one back in the day, in that kind of mustard yellow/beige colour. Enjoy it!

	Lovely! I wanted the cream interior when I was on the lookout for mine, but I ended up with black instead. They are really great cars, well ahead of their time and beautiful to drive. Fairly rapid too! Enjoy

	I would go with "briskly wafty" rather than rapid...but thoroughly pleasant none the less!!!

	This looks wonderful! Mexico Brown is such a glorious colour on these... A few years back I had one in Tobacco Brown and I wish I'd kept it as it was truly superb. I cannot wait to see your progress on this...

	Looks lovely I had one of these a few years back, was going to pinch the engine out but couldn't bring myself to do it!

	I have a bit of a fancy for a P6, I'm not sure what the right colour/wheel combo would be, or what to do under the bonnet if I did though. A worked over fuel injected Rover V8? A more modern V8 conversion, or perhaps a decent diesel engine? Either way, a lovely purchase.

	Is this the one from a Bournemouth auction house?

	It went to auction in July I think but it can't have sold as I got it off the owner who has had it since 2014... it was off the road from 1984 until last year, under a tarpaulin on a driveway for many years apparently, the paint was flaking but the underneath is rot/rust free and has never been welded and won't need any for a long time, the outer panels were prepped and re painted and it's a superb job, all the seals were taken off etc.

	Nice! Tuck the bumpers in closer, lose a little of the excess chrome and lower over a set of detailed Porsche Fuchs... Steve Kirk did a sketch in the Motorvation pages of Street Machine back in the early 90s of one of these in Porsche Magenta, everything colour coded, but I think a Resto Cal influence would suit this one.
