I've got a 1954 86" series 1, R/Rover V8 with Holley carb, series 2 box with overdrive and series 2 axles. It is my every day transport - but I've also got a 53 Chevy pickup and a 73 Australian Ford ZF Fairlane. I am thinking of buying a TVR Chimaera soon, though I've never owned anything with fuel injection, ECU's, cat converters etc, before. I've also got a 1978 series 3 ex army lwb 24 volt that I converted to V8 power. It's been off the road for 5 years or so and I raid it for spares now. Think it will have to go this year as I wouldn't use it even if it was running.

Lots of V8 power:
Dec 2004 RR Vogue - very comfortable, smooth ride, quite pacey for a big lass (doesn't sweat much either)
1998 TVR Chimaera 450 - just had it over a month now, absolutely breathtaking performance, and such huge fun to drive. verrrrrrrry fasssssst
2001 BMW 540 Sport - lovely Mrs H's car. Combination of other two - comfortable and deceptively fast.
P.S. - sorry about the environment

My dad bought a 84 90 2.25 petrol in 04 for me to drive round in when i first passed my driving test, i liked it although it was seriously underpowered, my brother has it now although he has only driven it since the engine was replaced with a diesel, he uses it off road and breaks it a lot, sad really as it was quite tidy for its age (ie lack of damage to the body work).

All I've got left is the tow bar of our SII Disco! There's a lovely picture on ebay if you're a fan of towing equipment!
