Ok, so it's more of a brown than a green colour - but my point still stands that it is definitely not the same vehicle

Black and gold one is an overfinch one ( was at royal Windsor horse show) believe Harry's is a one off custom by the previous owner

Certainly two different vehicles

That's right!

New owner has taken it to Nene Overland and thrown yet another large cheque at my old truck. Saw it looking very at home at his 40th last weekend. Interior being rather nicely done, including fitted gun rack.

I miss that car, and have first refusal if he ever sells it. In the meantime, I shall be driving it all over his fields this November, whilst armed. Can't wait.

(the tropical roof was standard fit to station wagon btw, not just county models)

That is one good looking 88. Didn't they have the silver head light rims only later than '82?

Hi all,

I recently picked up my first Range Rover smile I originally meant to out to purchase the 3.6 V8 diesel, I then realised the milage I was doing, so decided to go for the 4.2 Supercharged..!

I wanted the 2007 facelift interior, I came across one with 40,000 miles on the clock, decided to go to see it, and went for it!







Love the spec and the amount of car you get for the money! The car seems to float along, even on the 20" wheels! (JLR Accessory apparently) as I didn't recognise them.


James.

Nice one, quite fancy one of them myself, couldn't be bothered with a diesel FFRR, but happy enough with the TDV6 in my Disco though for now.

CY.

Quick question about your series.
Where would you go for chassis bits?

Last series buy fell through as the seller kept upping the price.
Found a project that will need chassis work so trying to see where would be best to get the parts.
it's a 1950 80 inch lights behind the grill model.

Now there's a question. When I did mine 10 years ago, I used a guy who made up any replacement bits for the chassis and bulkhead from scratch - infact the chassis was not bad at all on mine - it was the top of the bulkhead and the footwells that he had to completely refabricate. I know that that's probably not a very helpful answer, but he had restored several series ones and that was his advice to me at the time rather than to try and source replacement parts.

Any other parts I did need to source (like the leaf springs for instance) I found that the people on LRSOC.com pretty helpful, and also the Dunsfold parts collection.

It's a big county, and that's the other end. Might have to make a trip.
