P38A Oh S###..I think I've bought another one.

Bagshot · Mar 4, 2019

Been quite happy with my 2.5 manual and all going pretty well lately. However, think I have just done a deal on a 4.6 Vogue, for no other reason than it was cheap..and shiny.
Hasn't been used for a year and owner just parked it up and now wants rid, so now mine..!
Picking up at weekend, (trailered) and looking at a lot of work no doubt, but project for the next year.
I will post here as it goes on and..see you all in the asylum..

Congrats V8's are the best anyway.

Bagshot · Mar 4, 2019

Last V8 I had, had a spare wheel on the boot lid and was called a P6.

Wasn’t that the 1 that used to wind the red tape across the speedo

I remember it

Never had the spare wheel on the boot though

Atlast one with the proper Range Rover Engine

Not that wheezy old diesel

What colour is it?

Any pics?

That's the one, not many people realised you could unscrew the boot badge and the spare fitted straight on..oh and it had carburettors.

I'll get some pics at the weekend, colour is Oxford Blue, cream leather and I think, Hurricane wheels. Gas conversion, which will be a mystery to me.

Probably did less mpg than this new one I've just got, but it was like sailing a ship to drive..

You will need the derv to tow the V8 steam-engine around from time to time

Oxford blue, nice. Think few of my panels are that colour

Good. That'll give you some practice at head gaskets.

You'll need fresh petrol if it has been sat for a year.

There's a whole tank of fuel in it and I've got to throw the whole lot away.

Thanks Mr Datatek, I knew I could rely on you to spot that one, I will be coming to you no doubt with all those bizarre lectric gremlins on this one. The DSE was relatively straightforward. Don't feel I will be so lucky this time..
