Hi all, Denmark online. My (late) fathers P5b is still there in my workshop, gathering dust. It has been begging, ever louder by the year, to get out to shine in the sun once again. I did promise dad, back then in 93, that I would get it running again. I guess this post is part of making up my mind whether to keep my promise.

Spent the morning looking at a few *ahem* choice examples of P6dom. One of them actually takes my fancy to a certain extent, but it's in bad need of a respray as someone subjected it to a crap home-made jobbie. Does anyone have a rough idea how much a respray (not concours, just a simple, honest respray without taking out all the glass and stuff) costs for one of these beasts? Also, does someone...

Most of what I have been told is that if you buy two tyres, they should go in the front. The reason I've heard is that new ones are less likely to fail catastrophically and tyre failures are more likely to cause a crash if on the front.
