Thank you.
Great work RPI engineering, even though the P5 is always going to be a cruiser of kinds, I often wondered if it was possible to make a gearing more suited to modern traffic, meaning todays Busy roads. Thanks RPI ☺☺🌞
Very slick, well done!
such an underestimated calssic
Great job but I've yet to see a P5 with 9ts wipers correctly adjusted - why? Such a simple fix!
You guy's must be the best Globally, I would point any and all V8B's owners to you guy's!. Have you ever done a Scimitar??
Wonderful work. Excellent stuff.
beautiful 😍
Omg I want one
Maybe no lpg because I love the growl of petrol
Iconic classic made famous with the Roger Moore film ….
Lovely, which gearbox did you use zf4hp22?

@@RPIEngineering Hi. Did you have to modify the propshaft or are the 2 boxes the same length?
Nice motor, can’t see your fish living too happily with their new cichlid tank mates though.
Has anyone done a four speed auto on an SD1 Efi?

We have not here. I believe it has been done if you google search there is talk of it on some forums etc. I believe bulkhead / trans tunnel needs modifying and I think I read there are issues on AC models as there is not enough room to mod the tunnel etc. However ultimately its all possible its just the list of parts that need modifying gets longer to achieve the end goal.
While I love a P5 I would never own one as they cost a fortune to fix up!

You’re better off spending a little more to buy a restored one. That’s what I did, someone had spent €40,000 restoring my P5B and I bought it for considerably less than that. I couldn’t buy a rough one and make it like mine for anywhere near what I paid.

@@DarkKnightwing75 I’m about to buy one (hopefully) for £25k, it seems in very good condition. Do realise the top ones go for £40k plus
It shouldn't have a rev-counter....it's a saloon
I do not approve of too much non-originality.

We see and cater for both side of the debate here. Previous to completing this car we had an all original P5b in for its original engine and gearbox to be re built, retaining the SU's etc.
