1961 Rover P4 100 -

is it the same engine as the landrover?

If so I have a fairly new Weber single choke carb from my old land rover in the loft you can have , probably needs a clean out (progression holes can block up) but it ran Ok when removed.

I don't want anything, I need to thin out my collection of "usefull one day stuff" but it came off a 2.25 so might be a bit undersized.

While I am at it anyone want a radio / cd player for free? I have a couple of these which are no longer needed as we replaced them with blue tooth ones (they are cheap single din ones but worked fine).

Can't be too difficult to re jet it though

The later 'Weslake' head from the 3 litre has a seperate inlet manifold, and is a straight swop onto the 2.6, there was also a twin carb head available for them (I think for one of the higher powered variants) which is again a straight swop.

Both types are in the genuinely rather than ebay rare categories though.

Ignoring the flat tyre, the arch gap on these p4's stock is huge, so as we all know, it had to be hit with the stick.



So it was out with the suspension, which aside from two bolts all came apart remarkably easily



Then came the chop - in hindsight perhaps a touch too much, but hey ho , it still rolls and turns



Then back together and back on the ground to see how low I'd gone - answer LOW!



Looks meaner from the front now, and has a fairly impressive rake, I think the back will need to come down too, I've not seen it out of the garage yet to see how far though.







Elsewhere on the car I've started to smooth the bootlid after a bit of help form Dez to knock in the high spots




starting to get somewhere with it now I think.

cheers for looking.

Cheers, I'm planning to fill all that in and smooth it off too.

Sweeeet

Begging for a 300tdi conversion
