Rover P5b

Evening all. I'm interested in a Rover P5b coupe. Anyone know the good / bad points? Where to look for one? What to pay?

Cheers!

Thanks to all for posting, especially for the quite stunning shot above. That took my breath away. Truly beautiful, I think.

To be honest, I'm not quite ready to push the button yet. Still working up the courage. I once owned a Merc 450SEL 6.9 and it ended up costing me a small fortune. I don't think I can resist the allure of another classic car but the thought of endless bills scares me (I also fear for my safety after the bking my OH gave me the last time). I'm thinking about it!

I wish people would stop posting Tyre Tread's picture. It makes me want to start phoning up people who have them for sale. Not fair. Stop it immediately!

FFS.

I wish you'd all stop telling me how good they are and posting such super pictures. You're not making this easy. I was hoping you'd all tell me they are rubbish and that would have been so much easier. Bugger.

YOURS HAS A 3.9 CHIMAERA ENGINE IN IT?!?!?!?!?

This is becoming intolerable now. It hadn't even occurred to me how workable the Rover 3.5 is. An RPI exchange or J E Engineering. Hmmmm.

Got.....to....resist......got.....to.......resist.
