Quite how a country like Britain no longer has a car industry is a shameful footnote in history. Beautiful car, well engineered and brilliantly restored. Really enjoyed this video.

Cars have always proved to be a massive pain in the ass.... and they still are 😂<br><br>however 3 weeks ago, if someone said you're about to lose numerous hours of your life watching some chap trying to revive an old car in a shed....😂😂... and now the rest is history <br><br>superbly addictive stuff! <br>And what really makes these videos the absolute best on youtube is.... raw raw passion, coupled with an enduring ethic for hard work, incredibly positive attitudes in the face of real ballaches. <br><br>just love it! <br><br>Thanks again for this one.<br>Massive well done

It's only boring if the presenter is boring. This is NOT boring.👍

I rang the Rover helpline but no one answered. That made me chuckle at first, then I felt a bit sad thinking more on it's death. Good video Ben.

The Rover is a keeper, you're like a modern day Gaffer driving that :-)

For an amateur mechanic youve done a cracking job of that engine, these are beautiful cars, but i wish it was either black or metallic bronze, dont think i could have the heart to get rid of this beauty.

Best episode so far, for quality of production. Brilliant esp. the wet road lorry pass..

@<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6WR5Av_VeM&t=2145">35:45</a> I can tell you, listening to that, and I've had a P6 2000TC - that is a STRONG engine. Absolutely perfect. Congratulations, she has all the makings of an excellent P6. On my V8, the thermo housing gaskets are hopeless as a pattern replacement, my current one is cardboard from a Cornflakes packet and instant gasket.

Top tip, if you ever hear a bad noise or see lots of smoke just pretend you haven’t noticed.

Back in the 1970s, my boss at IBM drove a Rover 2000. He celebrated the day it topped 100,000 miles.
