It was getting on for 3 pages before the site crashed.
Anyway, after the baby is born and we move I am thinking of getting one of these as well as a kombi?
Anyone know of any around?

Cheers

my post on the new herbie movie titled something along the lines of "Warning spoilers! i wasnt aware that new and old beetle rocker covers were interchangable ha ha" has disapeared.

i take it its because they have had to go back to the latest backup done?

one thing I forgot to mention is that the Rover was really only known as the P5/ P5B in retrospect,
when current they were called the Rover 3 litre or 3L & 3.5
so when you are looking for adverts one advertised as a 3 litre is more likely to be a relatively more original coupla owners type car if you know what I mean,
the Rovers were rather smaller on the inside than out because of the ample interior fittings & designed for extreme comfort for 4 people, as such the coupe really only differed from the saloon by having the chopped roof (no performance extras etc) & because of the roof is more expensive & not as practical, the saloons are cheaper & had more careful, practical minded owners , so are a much better buy

Please, I need drivers side window regulator (winder mechanism) for my '54

Thanks for the info.
I have my heart set on one, but I will have to wait for about 6 months or so.

Cheers
