Stage 1 V8

WHAT ARE THE ODDS!!!!

i decided to get a stage1 v recently as always liked my neighbours landy he had when working at leeds bradford airport.

v happy to see it appear again even if it is miles away and really hope it goes to someone who can keep it on the road

ah so you may know some of its past then? i have done mainly powerplant work at the moment with new carb refurb, radiator, brakes drums etc etc however body does need work. i have no intention of making it look too fancy however being water proof is a good start. thanks all for the comments and help...

i am not sure if this works but have put the picture of it when i bought it to show the colour.

its in a bit better state now and will post more if this works

cheers

Wow thanks for the advice guys and i am amazed at how much knowledge there is out there fo the military and police specs I will take pictures tonight and upload them and as it will be dark i suspect it will cover up the dog rough body work it has however i have been concentrating on running gear bef...

As i am asking questions i thought id continue... i have an ex police white 109 but it has dog rough body work on at the moment and i want to re paint. as it still has all the instrumentation and police light boxes etc id quite like to keep it looking fairly origianl however i have no idea what pain...

thanks for advice firemanshort and i aim to put the 50w in this weekend when hoefuly it stops snowing and i can feel my fingers to change the PCV valve at the same time.

i could use a steering box and radiator!

if u have sold no worries but if u have a price in mind then give me a shout as i seem to be suffering from overheating even in autumn temperatures and thin rad is goosed.

as i have to drive by touch i suspect the steering box is as well!

sorry for late reply but have just got back from hols. it was apparently from police recovery services based on motorway clearances however this is second hand information and still waiting for all the info to come back about its past but beleive it was based in hertfordshire. I am based in harrogat...
