Rover P4 Potential?

Like this??

Would quite like a sledded one.

Challenge accepted!

I did some cut-n-shut... shorter boot/wheelbase, coupé-d the rear roofline and then a minor roofchop - all to refine its slightly gawky proportions.
Then some twotone like your Volvo, and wider whitewalls.
Oh and simplified the front arches...

i quite like P4s, they have some cool little features i came to appreciate whilst helping filby out with his blue one above.
the problem with them is everyone wants to do them in a '50s american kustom/mild custom way, yet they have very 'british' proportions. although a large car (for their time), they have a very dumpy rear end with very little overhang, plus a roof thats very upright at the back which breaks up the flow along the car(the roof is actually higher at the back than at the front which just looks awful to me). couple this with a chassis and suspension setup that hangs out the bottom of the car a lot, and they never end up looking quite right to me.

my 3 biggest mods to make one something special would be to extend the rear 1/4s and boot about 6". a reverse rake roof chop that pancaked down the rear half a lot so it faded away more(I'm convinved that flipping the rear window upside down would achieve this, i keep threatening to do filbys one day), and a good 4" channel job to hide all the chassis and suspension. then youd have a P4 really worth talking about!

I think they are a bit ungainly. Too much "men drive with hats on so we need to make the roof high" look.

A rover specialist in Melbourne told me that he restored a 110S version for someone at a cost of over 100K..... holyshit.jpg

Ha, Thanks for sharing mine mylittletony. They are very much a chassis markbognor , as seen here

I've always loved P4's

Def on my list to do one day (maybe one day soon)

I did this back in 2011 to use as a Sig on here when I nearly bought one

I think as Dez mentioned, The chassis seems to hang pretty low under the car, especially around the front end.

To get one low low it would need channeling, which i imagine isnt the easiest of jobs


If you look at this pic, the chassis at the front seems to hand down below the centre line of the wheels, so major work to get them down
