Stage 1 V8

I have one which I think came off a Range Rover. It looks the same as the one on my Land Rover.

Peter Best have provided cover as long as there are no more then seven people they are happy to cover 12 seats. Interesting. Mine's been with Peter Best since I got it in 2001 and I've just checked my original proposal form to see that I declared 12 seats and I don't remember any mention of not bei...

Nice choice of vehicles. I also have an 83 Lightweight to keep my 82 Stage1 company.

Seb,

I'd be interested if not too pricey as my yet to be fitted overdrive has the Range Rover linkage.

When I first got my Stage 1 I had to submit photos for the insurance and they

Stage 1 brakes are the same as 6-cyl (but not 4-cyl) Series 3

I don't think it can be made compulsory but I do think it is helpful. There is quite a wide spread community here. Perhaps those who haven't filled it in would consider updating their profile?

This was just mentioned on an email list. Ebay item 300147686971

Agreed. Mine has 235/85 on 1 ton rims and I think they look just right. The speedo is spot on too!

I'll be there on Saturday

I'll be at Billing on Friday. Anyone else?

Yes, guests are included in the count. That will include things like search engines indexing the site and spam bots trying to register. 68 is still surprisingly high though and there wasn't an especially high registration rejection that day. Since I added the extra question to the registration proce...

I don't know if these help but Terry sent them in a while back and you may not have seen them:

I bet the fans are spinning in the air flow and generating enough to light the bulb.
