Is it just me or are very few genuine 127s surviving? I'd love one like this...

The bumper is wrong, on an 84 it should be galv. The sidesteps are aftermarket (and ugly) and the wheels and tyres...:eek: Not really worth seven grand but I would agree its a nice motor and could easily be put back to factory if you wanted to show it. Got to admit there are very few unmolested...

If you can't afford a new (would be repaired, I am not sure of anyone doing repros???) you will have to repair what you have. I would say buy a second hand one in better nick, but there are so many variations in the bulkhead design, depends on how "correct" you want it. Door pillars, footwells...

I would be very interested in any supplies of 900-16s, as you can imagine its a common question over on the 900 club forum.

I won't touch the stuff, its all cheap and crappy. Slave cylinders that only last a few days, my mate had TWO brake masters on in as many days, my ujs all failed after less than 3500 miles, I wouldn't touch em for brakes...might consider em for, say, body panels but even then unlikely. There are...

You can still get new bargrips, but they cost almost as much as a decent tyre that might actually offer some grip. I have not seen any 900x16s on ebay or elsewhere in quite a while, I'm after 900x16 dunlop rk2a/3s if anyone wants rid or swap for petlas.

Some photos from a recent trip, more to follow soon.

How blatant. Can't see a single series 2 part on it.

Its not tax exempt if it was built in 1975. Tax exemption does work on the build date though.

I know. :) It was a roundabout way of saying the 100" parts won't fit. And you are right its 92.9" :darth_vader:

Actually the NADA six pot was also 2.6 just with a different head on it to give 134bhp. It won't be a six anyway as he says its a swb.

No such thing. Landrover only differnatiated between utilities and station wagons, and by engine type. Special models such as Lightweight, 1-Tons and forward controls also got their own chassis sequences. There is no way to tell what body details a utility Landrover had when new. With station...

Disco chassis wheelbase is 100", Defender 90 is...90" so no the props will need to be made/bought to fit. The front *might* fit but I can't say for sure.

Yes but you will need to modify the rear tub a bit to fit, and yes it would need an SVA test and would end up on a Q reg. Probably easier to buy a 90 tub. You would also need wheelarch spats front and rear as the disco axles would be wider then a series bodywork.

The razor edge bonnet was the normal fitment on swb utilities until the mid-1970s. Station wagons and all 109"s got the deluxe bonnet. The 1-ton bonnet is stonger and has side catches rather then a centre catch, but it seems they used MOD spec bonnets on a lot of vehicles, mine even has cut outs...

As much as 28K? I heard of someone buying one for just less then 19K, base spec, some cancelled order or something.

Yes its had a lot of work done. The chassis will need replacing sooner rather than later though. Its lasted 41 years so I can't compain too much. Also needs a gearbox rebuild at the same time.
