Looking for a Series 1 landy for a project. I have the D3 so this is a tinkering project to keep beside it as the D3 is the daily driver.

I would prefer a 8* over a 10* model however, i wouldn't rule out one.

Can be non runner, in parts, or incomplete.

Just looking for a nice long term project to enjoy and restore. It's not going to be a rivit counters wet dream but would be kept period and sympathetic to the history of the car.

Does anyone have anything that could be suitable, or know of one that fits the above description.

Post on here or send me a PM if you wish.
eBay and gum tree are turning up stuff but it's out my budget range for buying a car.

What's the budget? and how far gone can it be?

Have a look at lrsoc.com

Budget is £2000, could push a bit higher but that's what I would like to keep it near.

Can be quite far gone, most of the ones on eBay etc have been parked up for years so will need a complete strip down and rebuild anyway.
I've built a Westfield style kitcar from a chassis, body panels and a mot failure sierra so have previous experience of rebuilding stuff.

May join the club and see what's out there.

I really think you will struggle at £2K.

Outside possibility of getting a basket case 107/109 but I would seriously doubt it.

I know. I'm finding that out. I can push it higher if needed.

I watched a 86 hardtop with no floor pans, bulkhead was barely there and had no v5 go for £2553.53

Don't want to miss the boat on these before prices really go daft on them.
