I thought I remembered the cracked bonnet from somewhere. Where was it for sale last time?

It was on eBay recently.

According to AC Roney's site it is now sold. I really hope it gets restored and not broken for parts. I've often wondered how many right hand drive 2500s were made and how many are left. Anyone have any ideas?

Well I suppose I'd better own up - I bought it last week and it was delivered last night. Most of it's there except the engine and box but those are relatively easy to source. Chassis needs a blast and paint, the body is basically sound; couple of cracks to repair but that's the beauty of fibreglass, no tiresome welding! Wish me luck!

That's great news. Very best of luck with the restoration and welcome to the Forum. Please keep us updated with your progress.

Luckily I have a blaster in the next village. Already spotted a corroded bit of tube in the diff cage area that will need some weldology. Sourced engine and box yesterday in Essex so now have most of the ingredients. Brake and clutch master cyls missing; anyone know which they used?

Well done on sourcing an engine and gearbox. I thought they would be not so easy to find these days.

The brake master cyl is TR6 as far as I know - hopefully someone will confirm. I don't know what the clutch m/cylinder is out of sorry.

Did you get an overdrive box by the way?

It's great to see your 2500 nearing completion. I take my hat off to you for all the hard work you've put into it. Know what you mean about Christmas though
