OK, I'll bite: why 1964 particularly?

I knew if I waited long enough someone would ask. GGJ

I've also dreamt of getting a 1964 SIIa although I'd have gone for the SWB. Year I was born. My guess is it's the year he was born, however it will probably turn out to be something far less romantic - some strange Belgium vehicle licencing tax dodge or something...

...Peter, please put us out of our misery!

Cya,

I have a CKD one here in australia you can buy of me if you like verry little rust 109 sw 2.25 petrol

Since you're alle a bunch of all round good eggs, I'll come clean.

Yes, It is the year I was born.

And yes, Certificates of Conformity started in 1967, so the fact that I can use slightly off-spec engines is an added bonus !

But do any of you fine chaps know of one for sale ?

Peter R.

I would't mind if it wasn't such a long drive home.

Seriously, the cost of shipping it here would far outpace the purchase price. Unless you know of a dirt cheap way of shipping it here ? Thanks for the offer though.

Peter R.

If it's still in CKD form it might be quite cheap, so don't dismiss it out of hand

nah, mine's 1971. Not specifically for sale, but I might have to move it on if/when I get into the transit/110 hybrid construction seriously.

Karen,

If it's a 1964 I suppose it will be assembled by now ;P

Peter R.

In which case it's not CKD ...

Sort of like the Range Rover/ice cream van conversion done for Scrappy Races?

Steve

Is that the RR Ice cream van which covers Tenby and Saundersfoot in SW Wales (Pembs)? Often wanted to ask the people about it, but I always presumed those serving the ice cream would know nothing about the vehicle.

Stuart

Dunno. IIRC the RR/Mr Whippy was done by the Chaos Crew, some lads from north of Watford. They could have sold it on after the series and it now resides there blaring out a distorted "Greensleeves" or some other plink-plonk sunday nap-ruining tune I suppose.

Steve

When was this? The Tenby RR has been on the beach for at least ten years.

Stuart

I'd doubt it was the Tenby one, weren't they fetaured in Landrovers across Britain? Seemed to enthusiastic about the vehicle to scrap it. Also had a

Lee D

It's not that one then. The one I'm thinking about was done about 3 or 4 years ago.

bit more serious than that, but the same idea, yeah. 110 chassis and running gear, transit 12-seat minibus body, minus 3 seats to make it a

I already have the transit part.

Adam,

If it's still in parts AND has a '64 serial please mail me.
