First access to website thought Id say hello.

My P6 is a series 1 2000sc.Been off the road for 10 years so there is plenty to do.No brakes ,low compression on no 4 cylinder just for starters.

Also have aP4 which is in regular use ,that was off the road for 12 years and I have been using her for the last 5 years.

Looking forward to swapping information.

Regards to all Phil.

Feb 2010

Its been some time since I have been on the web site , but things have been moveing foreward even though slow. for the last 6 months my son hs been restoring the car and I must say that after all the body panels were removed the car base was in good shape. all the interia was sent away and recovered in leather including the door bins parcel shelf ect all in jaguar biscuit brown with a dark brown pipeing. the car has just had the door shurs bonet and boot resprayed in Mexico brown, the wings and other smaller items being sprayed this weekend and the following week the doors to finish with. the end product is all in the preporation and I must say what a fantastic job my son has done.

Went to pick up our car today but further problems hilighted, firstly and not too much of a problem a water leak has developed in the return side of the radiator, but more of a problem is that the garage is still not happy with the way the car runs.

Sad History of DOW 102K

gosnell — Sat, 16 May 2009 20:38:10 +0100

I purchased DOW Last June knowing that the last owner had the car for about 28 years and he had just spent £1600 on the engine and auto box to try and resolve bad oil leaks. When I got the car home it was self evident that that money had ben waisted as it was leaking engine oil very bad.

Urgently need parts for ongoing 1967 TC2000 rebuild in Malaysia

2308andrew — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 01:55:59 +0100

If anyone can help with these parts I would be very appreciative, we are coming to a standstill in the rebuild of my TC2000 as these parts are missing from the engine, and we have been unsuccessful in finding a complete donor engine in Malaysia. I am urgently looking for these used parts:

camshaft sprocket, timing chain tensioner spring, set valves, valvecaps, collets etc., set springs, camshaft mounting bracket assembly & studs.

Thanks and regards

Andy
