No way !! Used to be a good mag, but I lost interest when they fitted new sills to a D1 on top of the old completely rotten ones cos they couldn't be bovered to do the job properly.

Is LRO the one sponsored by Britpart? Or is that LRM?

Quite a bit of the repair work they do is sketchy to say the least.

I mainly read it for the Range rovers, ive been reading it for ages my favourite one was the early 2012 edition.

They featured D4MJT a 1997 range rover p38 HSE that had been restored and modded it twas a good read.

I'm on there, but that lot are so far ahead of my detailing skills, I don't say much - I'm just trying to soak some knowledge up...... need to do some paint work on both our D1's... almost wish they were solid colours, cos I can do them

Should of been called sky blue IMO

Haven't had a chance to clean/polish her until now.

Before..






After!! Looks ok in the sun!!

Afew more!

Don't want to start a separate thread for this sooo.

My car was made February 22 2001 she wasn't registered to sell until Late october that year.


Does this mean she was used as a demonstrator or did they just have a hard time selling her?

Probably a stupid question just wondered if there is any way to find out.

The Dealer that sold her was Guy Salmon Coventry.

It wouldn't be a demo as it would need to be registered.
