Been a Land Rover owner 20 years restored many cars from ground up done chassis swaps on Range Rover classics and Defenders and Series 2’s along with many bespoke builds have restored Volvo Amazon and Checker taxis A12’s along with a pile of vintage motorcycles- came across a Sad Jag trunk lid buckled lower fenders need new metal as do the rockers

saw it running got it for Pennies thought well I’ve dealt with the Prince of Darkness many times why not Satan’s Housecat 😀

Besides my dad had 3 3.8s at my age only one ever on the road at a time and I have plenty of call outs remaining on my breakdown policy and I usually can fix anything so why not take a bath in the insane - seeing as I couldn’t afford one in the day went in a former bosses car and he was smug about it but he’s probably filling a Tena in a nursing home by now being spooned Apple sauce - Now it’s my turn to have my slice of Excellant British Engineering with a hint of good old Leyland thrown in

So the restoration commences

 

The old boy had it in a snow tent and lost control with his pick up truck and hit the trunklid - picking up new one on Wednesday 👌

 

Welcome aboard.

 

Welcome, it's always nice to see another one saved from the crusher....
