Stage 1 V8

Hi fellas, Thanks for the input. The diesel option won't work because the DVLA paperwork lists it as petrol - so it must be tested as it came into the country and not as modified afterwards. Besides, finding a diesel here in the land of the gas guzzler is not so easy. As to LPG, it already has that ...

Long story, short... All vehicles newer than 1974 must be smogged. Because the Landy came from England it has no smog equipment to speak of. It has to be inspected by a state representative - a "smog referee". He will decide, what, if any, smog equipment will have to be added. The cost of ...

Sadly, I have decided to sell my Stage One. :cry: It's nigh on impossible to get it registered in California and I have decided to give up and clear the space on my drive. 1981 Stage One LPG and Gasoline Overall great condition. Needs a new rear cross member Would benefit from a new steering box and...

Tel,

Are you keeping all three, or could you be persuaded to part with one?

Hi Chris, I was actually thinking about LT95 overdrives the other day and something occured to me - perhaps your need is the perfect chance to test my idea? Why don't you contact George at Rovers Down South and see if he can help out - perhaps he might be able to produce a limited run of LT95 overdr...

The Kiwis used the Stage Ones and I am pretty sure that some of them were FFR so would have been 24v. I think that I have read about UK armed forces using the Stage Ones but can't remember where, so I can't be sure, however, rest assured you will get an answer here. Gary in NZ has an ex Kiwi army 24...

I have twin 45l tanks in exactly the place that you are proposing to mount yours - doesn't seem to be any problems.

If you need manuals then check out Jon's website as he has kindly scanned and posted the Series III and Stage One manuals.

If I got this right there should be a "family" photo below. If not I will have to re-read the instructions on how to add images http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z247/ALondoner/Pic014.jpg Please do not laugh at the Jeep - it is very sensitive, and it was the first new car I ever bought - ...

Tel,

I am pretty sure that it costs about the same per hour to run my stage one as it does to run the jet.

Also, the door seals on my landy need replacing, hence I do not feel that trying to ford the Caribbean is advisable, no matter how much I waterproof the engine.

Alan.

Jon, That's a negative - but if you are ever in the Golden State I will break out the Pusser's for you :P Matt - my wife's cousin is a pilot on a Gulfstream III - I am working on convincing him to fly us all to the Caribbean. Currently he is being unreasonable and expects us to pay for this little f...

Guptee owns (did own) another SWB Stage 1 - look on the page that shows Sanjay's truck: http://www.landroverclub.net/Club/HTML/Stage_One_reg_rare.htm Just below it shows a SWB County Station Wagon with a funky roof mounted air con unit owned by Guptee, plate No. PAS 711 It looks as if there may stil...

Don't forget Guptee Bidaisee - PAS 711.

Does this mean free rum drinks and ocean view suite upgrades? I can almost taste the Pusser's!

Alan.

Matt and Tel, Check out this link for more on the SWB Stage One: http://www.landroverclub.net/Club/HTML/Stage_One_reg_rare.htm Also this link - looks like Samro may have info on the 88s - I am pretty sure that is Custard in the article: http://www.landroverclub.net/Club/HTML/Stage_One_muddy.htm#88 M...

There was a post ages ago from another owner of an 88 Stage One here is the link: http://stage1v8.org.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=31&highlight=#31 Maybe this will help - also there is another stage one website that mentions the story of these 88 V8s - sorry can't remember which one at the moment, ...
