Hi all, On this County 110 I bought recently, there are some areas of severe corrosion on the panelwork. For the most part these are localised and I need to decide what to do about them. Getting new skins is out of the question as I want to keep...

Thanks, yes I would agree. There's something about that County livery that's very evocative of that age. Plus this appears to have been one of the Queen's Land Rovers - first registered to her transport manager at Windsor Castle no less! :p

You're too late! I've done a deal myself for £7,350. And a big thanks to the guys who suggested it would polish up with some T-Cut because it does! The previous owner never, ever washed it so it got badly oxidized, but it scrubs-up nicely with...

Well maybe you're right, then. I should forget about a respray and just get it jet-washed, T-cut and waxed for 500 quid or whatever they charge these days. The interior is actually quite good, just rather grubby but that too would certainly clean up.

Yes, all the panels are original as is what's left of the paintwork which has gone very matte over the years. Some folks value originality and bang on about 'patina' but I certainly don't. If I bought it, I'd have to get it repainted and...

The chassis itself is fine as it was replaced about 2 years ago. Bulkhead's been repaired. It's been through the IOM equivalent of an MOT and is road legal currently. Engine's sweet; gearbox is fine. A couple of swinging arms could do with...

It's the norm on the Isle of Man where it is.

Hi all, I've been offered this 1989 V8 County 110 Safari by the widow of an old friend who died a while ago. I quite fancy a County but this one's a bit tired and scruffy as you can see from the picture. The shabby bodywork with rusty bits lets...
