I am putting back the wooden dashboard and centre instrument panel after working on the interior and notice that the majority of the P3s have a black centre panel. Mine is grey/silver and does not appear to have been overpainted at any time. I see Mike Couldry has black covering transfers for sale f...

Really helpful response thank you. Photos showing the breakdown of the cable and components tells me all. Have enjoyed reading/viewing your major restoration. Many thanks.

The diameter of these is ok as the existing holes in the bodywork are approx 3mm dia. However the pan head,...

I have just re-joined the RSR after a lapse of many years and would appreciate advice from anyone who has experience of removal of the original radio from their P3 75. There appear to be many screws, nuts and bolts, all, or some of which could be relevant to the exercise but it would be helpful if a...
