One of the most endearing things about your channel Alex is the way you interact with the camera which makes me certainly feel that your audience is actually there with you. We can share with you your emotions the good and the bad and they are down to earth and "real" . You always get through these issues.
Hi Alex. Lovely T- shirt! And you wear it so well! 😀 I had a Rover 75. In about 1971? I paid £35 for it! The previous owner didn't know we're the spare was? I found it in a drop down tray under the rear number plate? I think the bonnet. Doors and Boot were Aluminium? It had a beautiful interior. All wood dash and leather seats! I was a Policeman at the time! I sold it for £50. To another Copper! His wife wrapped it around a flyover? God knows how she managed to do that? The chassis was built like The Eiffel Tower! Great memories! Love your videos! Thank you Alex. Regards. Andy Lester. 😊
I've just today purchased a 1958 P4 that's gonna need some TLC as it's been sitting on blocks here in New Zealand for 32 years. Looks okay, was well loved and sold by the son of the chap that owned for years and parked it there himself. I drove a 90 a fair bit in my teens 40 years ago and have wanted one ever since. I'll be following your channel methinks.
Hello, from the USA! Just found your channel. love the P4.I just purchased a 1947 P2 14 sports out of Vancouver, British Columbia. And imported it to Washington State So i've been watching lots of rover content. they never imported rovers to north america as far as I know , so you don't see them over here very often. Anyway enjoying your content. everything so different over there.
I bought an Aunty 110, 342WKJ, in '75 for £15, when I was 19, the clutch and MOT were out, we couldn't get it started, so we towed and there was a massive bang, it blew the silencer apart ! 😅 Tuned out to be a crack in the distributor cap, it failed the MOT on one brake pipe, I sold it to a mate who jacked it up in the road and put a clutch in it, no mean feat on one of those ! Thanks I enjoyed the ride and the memories.My first car was an A35 in Grey.
Shame about the pressure switch leaking 😕 Years ago i had an old vw polo, and my mother borrowed it one day. When she came back she said theres something wrong with the car and the horn is blowing all the time - what's going on. So had a look at car and oil was gushing out of the plastic top on the pressure switch and the horn was blowing as a low oil pressure warning - i never knew they had such a thing on a car : )
Nice to see you smiling again and looking well. A few years ago I would have metaphorically cut off my right arm for one of A35s to restore: I don't know why, but I've always had a very soft spot for them. Best wishes.
This reminds of my folks P4 75 "cyclops" - believe it was 1950 version and this would 1960-62 when the oil pressure warning would flicker on and off - plenty of oil on the dipstick (the folks never used the oil button on dashboard to see oil level on petrol gauge) - mechanic traced the problem to low sump oil level - the collar ring thing on the dipstick (the ring thing that stops the dipstick going down into the sump to far) had come loose - you could see where the old weld marks were which about 2 inches down the stick. - hadnt thought of that for years so thanks for reminder
Thankyou. I guess I was thinking about how you all drive on the other side of the road and your roads seem so narrow. Over here everything is always full 2 lanes unless it's a private driveway. If you happen to know of any salvage yards over there that have any P2 stuff Ive got a list of small stuff I need to source. I haven't had much luck finding yet. Still taking it to the local car show Friday evening though😊
What a beautiful P4 I think if it was mine I'd fit electric steering off a vauxhall corsa c I fitted it on my mustang & it transformed the way it drove
Hi Alex, You sound more chirpy this time, hope you sorted the noisy tappit and oil switch ok. I'll have to find your T- Shirt link again so I can buy one. Take care and keep smiling, Jon B.
@Daves_classics my car is negative earth. 😄 . You would need to insulate the radio unit from any metal part of the car for a start. The positive wire from radio would go to the body of the car and the negative would go to the wiring for the clock or make something up to go on back of ignition switch.

So nice to see these beautiful cars being used today. Always been my favourite
I'm in love with a mature lady. She's called Jessie. She looks and sounds sooo good. Driver is OK too.

There is a few adverts in the RSR club magazine. Definitely worth joining that club x

Nice to see you on four cylinder s
Jessie is 6cyl
Nooooooooooo I missed you. I was tinkering on Pinky the Kawasaki.
Awwww boooo but yaaaay .lol good weather for a tinker
Noooo i missed the premiere had it on reminder as well
😭 . Next time!
I think you can get aps to help calibrate your speedo
Hi There. I noticed the sun visors. can you remember where you got those.. Thanks
Hello , they are standard Rover P4 visors 😊 .
@@Alexsassets Oh they are really modern looking. I have a mk2 jag and these would look great in it
@@GlesgaNews I've got a pair kicking about somewhere
I had the same problem on my mk2 Jag new speedo cable just loosen it slightly at the clock end it stop mine from making a noise might be worth trying
Interesting... thank you!
Hope you don't mind me asking, how did you fit your radio to Jessie ? cheers
Hi. What do you need to know?
@Alexsassets how you wired it up, the P4 is positive earth and the radios are negative earth.
Cheers
@Daves_classics my car is negative earth. 😄 .
You would need to insulate the radio unit from any metal part of the car for a start.
The positive wire from radio would go to the body of the car and the negative would go to the wiring for the clock or make something up to go on back of ignition switch.
Are you going to Quainton this year?
I hope so yes 🥰
hello ! who's waiting in the chat? :)
I sometimes regret that I didn't buy my friend's P4 from his widow after his sad passing. Ho hum ...
What are the developments concerning mr. Jenkins? ❤
I shall get an update video out once I've assessed the other side 😁 . I hope to fix it up. Even if it looks rubbish lol x

Where do you find you on Facebook
Just search Alex's Assets 😄
Too much irrelevant chatter. Of no real interest.
