Lockwood Land Rover Centre Fire

Just down the road from me, so sad!
The lean too had some lovely RRCs and series when I last had a look about a week or so ago.

Really nice chaps who work there and couldn't do enough to help. Thankfully the fire looks to of been fairly contained and hasn't damaged the main workshop.

That's really sad they have some lovely motors in there, they charge top dollar for there restored motors but they are at least keeping the old series motors alive.
I occasionally buy bits from them and the guys that work there are a great bunch and really helpful .

I wouldnt call it top dollar, they are a business restoring these motors, and they do it to a top standard. having seen what other restorers charge for normal classics, id say about right.

Agreed Tim, pricey, but when you see them in the flesh they look as if they've just rolled out of Solihull (coincidently 75 years old today).
A massive shame to see all their hard work going up in smoke, as well as another series off the road.

Sad news

agree all, such a sad sight of fire ravaged fine old vehicles.....

Think Im going to cry...

:Cry::Cry:

If it was arson, the old Japanese punishment for anyone found guilty was to lock them in a building and torch it.
A little severe perhaps, mebby just a gentle scorching???

What about locking them inside a slitty and torching that?
Two birds, one stone.

Good move, very efficient!
