Currently being restored but I promise to put a thread up about it when it is closer to being done.
But for now here is a picture of the Bora and I lapping Estoril in 2007
Oh my But for now here is a picture of the Bora and I lapping Estoril in 2007
Now, if I sell my cars, the wife, the dog (no, not the dog), one or more of the children and empty my pockets, could I afford one?
Probably not!

I look forward to a thread appearing on that fabulous looking trident of yours...

The later SD1s, built at Cowley instead of Solihull, tend to be less shonky and rusty than the earlier cars. My 1982 2600 is unrestored, and has only two small areas of blebbage - one near the rear screen and one on a door bottom.
Oddly, Jonno's Avocado 2600 has a few spots in the same areas as yours BV, but several years into ownership they don't appear to be getting any worse. The poor lad is getting a bit twitchy though as the MOT is imminent...Rover does remind me of this 80's classic film NSFW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ijskc38eosE

This might be a nice cheap addition to the fleet if you have a chap to do some work.

It's the car, not the van!
Charles de Gaulle, you are a very, very, very bad man. I wish, mon Général, that I could be like you and learn to say "Non". http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C659522
It's the car, not the van!
Tant pis, eh bien - morte aux Anglaises!

Lots of people lusting after that on these threads.
Great shape, utterly unique and you cant say that about many cars.

Downwards haggling may have occurred, so this may be a totes uber bargain. Or a World of Pain. Only time will tell...
That darned auto choke could be a fly in the ointment BV, mine has started playing up, there are alternative solutions to avoid annoying 'failing to proceed' incidents but they don't all seem to work... depends who you ask I suppose!That does look like a goer though, it reminds me of the S1 XJ that Brian Blessed drove in the first episode of The Sweeney...

Schtum! All (may) be revealed in due course (maybe next week). I have been studying up on the replacement of the not very well thought of AED (a rubbishy form of autochoke, I gather) with manually choked SUs.
It's ok you can tell us, we're nosey buggers. Any gen you can find for the factory fitted AED replacement will be warmly welcomed BV.... the chap who worked on my S2 says some alternatives are not much cop so it'd be splendid if you can share your findings. Assuming you've bought the barge. Which may or may not have actually happened. Ahem, cough.Gassing Station | Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
