LRO Driffield Show

Just wondering. If I brought mine, do you think anyone might want to buy it?

How much you after matey?

Now there's a question. It owes me £2500 and it still needs a few bits and bobs doing to make it perfect so I don't know what to do.

If someone gives me £2500 or thereabouts, then I'd have to let it go. Otherwise I'll hang onto it and do the bits and bobs it needs.

At the moment Classics seem to be at the bottom of the depreciation curve, I can't see them staying this cheap for much longer and I can't see them getting any cheaper than they are now, and this is a one-off job that has to be worth decent money sometime soon. There aren't many turbo ones about, even less Wood and Pickett's, and other than the museum jobs, this has to be the best of the ones remaining. I also think that it's the nicest W&P one I've seen, it's not one of the bloody horrible "Saudi" spec ones they did, it's quite restrained.

I reckon to make it near perfect would cost a grand, maybe slightly less and then it'd make proper money.

Sounds a lot, but a grand is bugger all when it comes to putting a Range Rover right. This just needs a few plates on the front inner wings (easy), the bonnet painting, and a few mainly cosmetic bits and bobs here and there. It doesn't need anything major to make it really nice.

As it is, I'm probably going to replace it with a cheaper, LPG'd SE or LSE. I know I'll regret letting it go, but sometimes needs must.

pics?

Pics are about a year old, but it still looks the same now other than it's lost the side steps. I hate side steps and they were very tired anyway.

Hurrah. what about Eastnor? Unfortunately, it doesn't look good for getting the 110 sorted before then, although you never know. Garage are like farts about welding it 'cos of the gas tank. Mind, that's got to come off anyway, so I could remove it, blank the pipe with something and leave the front tank on so as to get it there...

Other than that I'll have to find the time and inclination to do it meself, which isn't really likely - too much other work to do. I've done most of the stuff on the big list of Things That Are Wrong - and several more of those are covered by replacing the rear end of the chassis.

I don't really want the garage doing it as they're prone to patch a 3" hole with a 3.5" plate - but then again, it's by way of being a stopgap, anyway - the chassis is pretty crap now and the long-term plan is to replace it, probably next year, as when it starts to need repairs to the main frame tubes to get through the MOT it's on the way out.

heyho. I might talk to them about it. If I want it OTR for Eastnor it needs doing quite soon. Either that of course or bring Edward again.

Me Me Me Me Me!

We would have gone,it's not far from us, but I'm already booked into another Archery tournament. And as it's my own clubs tournament it's not something I can easily get out of.

Mind, we're booked into the LRO show at Manby later this year. ;)

yeah, to me dad. I could still use him, but I'd rather get the 110 back on the road.

I appear to have bought a P38, I must be mad. So the Rangie is down to £2350.

Club will be Peterborough 4x4
