I’ve used Brit-Car for a lot of stuff and always been good to deal with 👍🏻

Only my avatar seemed to disappear 👍🏻

Sort of topical for me - My new 200tdi Discovery front crank seal has started leaking - it’s only been in a couple of months 😩

Good news - only thing I’d say is remember it works to share warts and all 👍🏻 Sharing a lack of progress may be a motivator for some people ?

Hang on ...... mobile hot tub for parties ? Is this a new business opportunity?

That’s hilarious !

Any more pictures !?

It does look fabulous ! Make sure the bend doesn’t stop you enjoying all that great work.

If you haven’t got the time ... could you pay someone’s to do it ?

How are you doing George? Your adoring public waits .... 😁

Lol 😂

Mine is a lights through the grill model. There are other subtle differences it seems between versions of that S1 type too - I’ve seen them called out on the S1 forum, with people looking to make sure they have the right type for their date of production. Mine had rotted at the bottom - and I’ve seen a few like that. I guess dissimilar metal corrosion starting from where it bolts to the front chassis cross member has a role to play in it too?

I haven’t ..... I daren’t......

I hope the farmer is more reasonable than some I’ve asked .. I’ve seen farmers in Cumbria let things rot into the ground, holding on to them on the basis that ‘they’ll be worth big money one day’ 😢

Judging by this thread I’d say we had no idea what it was going to look like ?

2.1m 😳. How many storey garage is that for?

Oh wow ! 😍

They look like half a quad bike - fantastic. Yamaha experimented with 2wd in the 90’ iirc - that was hydraulic drive though.

One for sale in the UK.... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F283469464879 Super cool thing - how does the drive to the front wheel cope with the turning of the forks ?

Ahh - wasn’t thinking.

Why does the tree need to come down James ?

Great !! Another series 1 😁 Good work and I love that it was your first car.

I wondered about the cappings and Patina - one way round would be to strip it back to the frame and pipework and have the whole lot galv’d ... when it weathered in it would go with the patina and look like the original Landy palette 🎨
