1970 NADA Spec Rover P6 3500S Tour and Drive

[@robertdnero2217]

Great video. I was driven to school throughout the mid 70's in a V8 P6.

[@ejhbritishcars6907]

You were lucky to ride in such a cool car everyday.

[@creator000]

Loved this tour in the V8 around that vineyard territory and your narration. It's good to see some are still loved out there in the US.

[@ejhbritishcars6907]

Glad that you enjoyed the video. They are pretty thin on the ground here but it is surprising how many people know what it is.

[@Marco-hz7pn]

A nice, cool and pretty individual one, your P6. Awesome!

[@ejhbritishcars6907]

It was a lot of work to upgrade the engine and transmission but was really worth the effort. It drives so nicely now, and high-speed cruising is effortless.

[@thatguyfromcetialphaV]

Great car. It was very popular with police in the UK before the SD1 Vitesse came along.

[@ejhbritishcars6907]

It certainly has the pep for high-speed work. It is comfy tool

[@classic_britain]

That is a stunning P6!

[@ejhbritishcars6907]

Thank You. I have worked hard om it.

[@rogerpritchard]

Nice rare 3500 Rover. Great design.

[@ejhbritishcars6907]

It's a really nice car. I love driving it.

[@brianyoung9014]

Looks great.

Thanks!

Very Nice! 😎👍

Thanks.

Excellent video and thanks for sharing your 3500S. Did you consider the 4.6 Land Rover engine for more power? Which transmission are you using?

[@ejhbritishcars6907]

I used the 3.9 liter for a bit more power and it seems to be a bit more robust than the larger versions. I have modified the car and ZF HP22 trans to work. It is a 4 speed overdrive trans with a locking torque converter. It greatly improved the car for motorway driving and fuel mileage. 2,500rpm is about 80 mph.

[@qpooke]

Was curious how your driving the speedometer?

[@ejhbritishcars6907]

I used a Dakota Digital Speedometer. Here is the link to the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/hl6ZhIinrNCDgLM. Thanks for Watching.

[@qpooke]

@ejhbritishcars6907 nice one, I have a p6b with a 4hp-22 in it too. Thanks from NZ

[@ejhbritishcars6907]

The transmission made a huge difference. It made freeway driving much more relaxed with the overdrive 4th gear and is a far superior transmission to the old BW unit.

When the quality of your facial hair is equal to that of the car's restoration....

[@ejhbritishcars6907]

At least I don't have to colour sand my mustache.

If it's over a thousand feet it's a mountain.

[@ejhbritishcars6907]

Google Earth says that they are over 2,000 feet so it looks like they are mountains.

What does Nada stand for ?? 🤔

[@ejhbritishcars6907]

North America Dollar Area. Basically the USA and Canada.

[@robertkirk4387]

I had one of these back in the early 80's but you really need to put back the original hood, sorry mate it's just not my taste. Nice car all the same.

[@ejhbritishcars6907]

That is the original hood for this NADA spec car. Basically, it is a 3500 with all the options, including "Ice Alert," which is of very little use here on California.

[@robertkirk4387]

@@ejhbritishcars6907 well, I'll be a China man, I have seen them before but only thought them to be aftermarket specials, sorry mate I meant No offence. PS, I still don't like it.😝

[@ejhbritishcars6907]

My understanding is that they were also installed on some of the later UK cars to use up the leftover stock though I don't think that they use all three scoops on those cars. The two outer ones are to ventilate the engine compartment and have "Summer/Winter" devices to open/close the openings.

[@tombaker9341]

Beautiful V8 buick power.

[@ejhbritishcars6907]

It has been a lot of fun. I love the sound when the 4Holley opens up the rear 2 chokes.

[@tombaker9341]

with the buick power .

[@ejhbritishcars6907]

The 3.9 liter is from a later Discovery but based on the GM design.
