WTD : 1964 SIIa 109

Hello,

I would like to acquire a 1964 LWB SIIa.

The vehicle HAS to be VERIFIABLY BUILT (not registered) in 1964 (serial)

I would prefer a softtop, but I'll consider a pick up or SW. Diesel or petrol unimportant.

I'm not fussy about the state of it, but I WOULD like it to be complete. Ideally I can drive it home to Belgium, however carefully. I don't mind shot bulkheads and rusty outriggers or creaky gearboxes.

I do require the relevant paperwork (V5 and whatever else) so I can register it over here when I've rebuilt it.

For those of you who want to send their car to a good home, I'll guarantee you I'll give it all the attention it can handle. This thing will most likely stay with me 'till I move to the big workshop in the sky. Answer here or on bfh(ATgoeshere)dungeon(DOTgoeshere)be

Realistc prices, please

Many thanks in advance,

Peter R.

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,

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 ?

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

101 but it's criminal to run it on a beach all day.. still if they own it it's down to them what they do with it.

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

9-seater.

I already have the transit part.
