I want...nay, NEED this!

If you can do the work yourself it would make a great project. Is it abit expensive?

Chop the front coils,sell off those wheels and fit something a bit eighties,fix that door and the "a" pillar.gloss black without the chrome trim and dark windows.
Is it a V8?.big exhaust ,not loud just that big dog rumble...
and smaller ,thinner rear bumpers.,with PA vauxhall tail lightsset on a forward angle......

Roof doesn't need chopped - that roofline is perfect.

Perfect balance of glass to bodywork - gah

Street Machine's first project car was a blue P5.

I was offered a free P5 V8 (non-coupe) for free a while back, loads of work done but not quite finished. As far as I know it's still there.

Exhaust set to 'burble', cruising at 'just the right speed'...perfect.

700 quid is a bit much for a banger to snaffle, no?

*crosses fingers that, for some reason, it's still available in 2 months*

Shoot me down here, but I'd stay well clear of that one!
With these old Rover's, the rust you can see is always gonna be the tip of the iceberg.

If you can, get yourself a good one to begin with - it'll be cheaper in the long run.
About £3k should provide you with a decent one out of the classifieds in Classic Car Weekly or similar. Don't believe this guys hype that a top-notch car is £10k - yes a few toffee-nosed dealers will try and sting you for that, but wang down to the classic auctions and you'll see minters for £5.5k.

(Oh and you NEED Cragar's on of those, surely?)

Rough, 5 minute job - raked and with the front wheel not centred >.<

I like P5s, although I know it's just me but I think the saloon looks better than the coupe. They are both nice though! That one could be brilliant with a bit of work!
