even assuming this is a pile of rust, £2k seems vaguely sensible if someone wanted a Lincoln Green 2 door project

1975 car, seats look ok, looks fairly unmessed with, just lots of TLC and cash needed

That looks even worse than I was expecting.

thing is we will look back on this in a few years and marvel that you could buy a "complete" early 2 door for that money...

I'd consider it a V5, chassis plate and a few other bits !

mind you the mirror if original is worth a few hundred quid

Will I be thrown mercilessly under a bus if I post a link to a P38?

The sad thing is that it's worth that for just taking the engine and breaking the rest.

That looks lovely. I do hope it stays in one piece.

I was very encouraged by responses to P38 on this, the 'Classic' thread. I half expected to be moved on!

Last week my own passed its second MOT in my ownership. No problems at all so I thought we'd celebrate with an entry in the Coleford motoring carnival on Easter Monday. Looking forward to parking up with the Landies and Classics. Bet I'm not the only P38!

Hi

How much is a decent LPG conversion with underfloor tanks for a RRC?

Are they still seen as viable?

Thanks!

There are plenty more photos equally as brown and crusty. Nothing the chap working on her hasn't seen before though, and nothing in truth I wasn't already half suspecting.

There are a couple more pics in a Photobucket Album here: https://goo.gl/8q5CPO

They all do that Sir! Hopefully not again once the work is done

Picking up my In Vogue tomorrow

Tempted to try and recreate this shot early one morning

[NomduJour]

[squirdan]

So the In Vogue was owned for 13 years by a Mr Jack Temple

By all accounts an interesting man who became a "healer" despite having no qualifications.

Not just any old healer either but his clients included Princess Diana and Jerry Hall

He had a stone circle built at his house in Pyford Surrey and some of the appointments were there

As he traded in his Tuscan Blue 2 door for this, paid 24% Apr and kept it for 60k miles I figured he must have loved the car. So seemed right to take a small detour

Started refittng the ac to my 87 vogue (condendor, compressor and drier), all seemed to go together easily enough (appart from the missing water pump pulley which i need to soutce) until I had finished, stepped back and coolant is dripping out of the radiator! I want it reliable so it seems a new rad is the only option. Looking around there seems to be several places offering all alloy rads for around £190 anyone any experience with these?

Will be interesting to see what these go for:

I've been watching those all week in two minds as to whether to buy them. They look well set to clear £500 now and I suspect that they won't be easily usable in a non LSE.

[TheLordJohn]

£520 in the end.

Hello folks, just a quick one. Should the bumpers on the later classic models be matte or gloss black?

[stevehg1]

They are satin black.

Cheers, Steve

[TheGolfGuy]

Great. Thank you Steve.
