Mr Manky is now fully road legal,and about to go on his first shopping trip to the local supermarket for years.
No doubt he will get a bit of attention from the shoppers there.
Once that has been done I will take him for a spin to the local common for a photoshoot to let him see the countryside again and cheer him up!
I just need to fettle his tuning to try and get the 0-60 time up a bit! :lol:

Just a heads up on the current situation re Mr Manky.

I have been informed of a very early 1 owner,low miles Rover P6B,"V8",on a farm,and stored in a garage for the last 30yrs that I really would like to get my hands on if it turns out to be as described! :D
I hope to investigate,view,and possibly do a deal for it this weekend,therefore Mr Manky may well be up for sale very soon,as I have limited space!

If there is anyone who maybe interested in Mr Manky,drop me a PM,and if/when the time comes,I will contact you.

Cheers Dave

Depends on how you drive them,and if the susp was Fk'ed or not!
We had a 1969 2yr old 2000E corsair when I was 12 and it was nowt but trouble,dad got shot of it within 3 months for a 1970 Rover 2000TC,that was dad work car for 6 yrs,then he gave it to me for my 18th when he got a company car!
Mum had the G reg Morris Traveller for family use from 1972-77 then bought a Mk3 Cortina.
