... you know you want one!

I seem to have beaten Lee to this one! :

You could fill the back with seats as use it as a minibus!

It looks like you even have the chance to fit whatever engine you
fancy.

It seems very resonably priced and has an interesting paint job.

Ooh, only in Halifax...and a "new" 200Tdi sitting on my engine hoist all
ready to put back in instead of the V8.... So many 101s, so little room.

Oh do behave. At the rate you're going you'll have more 101s than were ever
built parked at your place )

Besides - give the rest of us a chance to buy one....

Isn't there a law that demands owners of above a certain number of
old vehicles to have a Alvis Starlwart? It seems to apply round here.....

Right beside the law that says you do free shipping to New Zealand.

yeah, but I don't really fancy an ambi, TBH.


Actually, my latest mad scheme is to modify a series LR and make a
charabanc. Needs the wheelbase extending, I think, to make it look
credible. Unfortunately, that'd result in a silly lack of turning circle,
but it really needs to be on a leaf-sprung chassis if it's going to look
anything like an old one.

And the answer is to stick another steering assembly on the back and slave
it to the one on the front - you'd probably need power steering for
something that size anyway, so that makes it a bit easier.

See - simple answers )

you could park it right up to the house and call it an extension.

Come on then!. We can never have too many 101 owners here. This one
could be a nice christmas present for yourself!

>/me wonders how to sell this to the wife...

It would make a very nice camper van!.. I'm sure Lee will be along
soon to give some 'wife-convincing' tips

I'm sure you didnt fancy the last GS that Lee found because you said
youd rather have a different body - sounds like its got to be a rad
bod!
Theyre more expensive though

Next time you see any of those owners will you ask them if they would
consider giving me a ride in said stalwart (or even a drive!) in
exchange for beer or slave labour or something!

I need to have a go in one for 'research purposes'!. One day i'll have
enough space time and money to own one but i've never done any more
than clamber about the outside of one yet

There's one at the top of Mow Cop, just up the road from the off-road
site - he seems to up for any excuse to play with his (Stalwart).

Or, for a project, there's (or was) one at Les Oakes' place in Cheadle.

Splutter...

Shut up.

Actually, Argocat next on the list - towable behind Grumble.

Very, very nearly got Charlotte a RR for Christmas - not a Range Rover
'RR', though...

Mother Hi,

will you be buying it from Richard Welsh?

I have bought an 8X8 Argo (1971 model year) back in 2001 for restoration.
(still have not managed to finish it as other more important things
happened)

But he is a top chap. If you will be dealing with him give him my regards (I
don't think he has a lot of clients from Greece)

Take care and Merry Christmas to everybody on the newsgroup.
