Stage 1 V8

Don't know where you have got that number from, which doesn't even look like a common Land Rover part number to me. The correct part number for the complete 109V8 front prop shaft assembly is FRC2175. If you can even find a good one, expect to pay well over £1,000 for it new. Craddocks have them lis...

I'd give them a ring in the morning, as I notice the magazine article gave a different email address - swinfieldcooper@btconnect.com - and I don't know how often either are checked!

Suggest you contact them:

Thanks for pointing that out - I've just read it - sorry, shows how far behind I am with my reading!

It is. They told me yesterday they had someone interested.

There's an article about it in March's Classic Land Rover magazine (Issue 22) but it didn't include these old photos of it.

Can't resist posting this photo which I took today of one of my Stage 1s parked next to the very Sandringham 6x6 pictured above!

Realised when I took this picture of it today parked next to one of my Stage 1s and looked at the reg, that the Stage 1 Sandringham 6x6 at my local garage is the very same vehicle pictured at the beginning of this thread! https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5718/20523396985_e6eb757c19_z.jpg Land Rover St...

More lovely pics!

firemanshort, I believe unpainted pop rivets on the rear tub (and any hard top) are a fairly reliable indication that your vehicle has not been repainted (and that it has if they are painted) - or at least that those particular panels have or have not been.

Great photos - great-looking truck!

Looking at the pics of your truck that you've posted, I would think it has almost certainly been repainted - at any rate the replacement doors (and wings?) appear to be a very good colour match for the rest (I'm assuming you put the V8 sticker on the rear) It's a great-looking truck.

My limestone truck's still got its original paint, getting pretty thin in places now, and it has a full set of stickers which I'm sure are original. My other truck was a Land Rover press vehicle and originally silver, but has been resprayed a couple of times - I've replaced the missing sticker on th...

Think I've now found the right answer to your original question and it is, as I suspected above, NRC5067 I came across this old thread https://www.stage1v8.org.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=918&p=5067&hilit=steering+lock#p5067 in which, in his usual knowledgeable but unhelpful style, map...

Sorry I couldn't be more help with the choke cable. It's 13 years since I repaired one and 3 since I replaced the other, and I don't have a good memory, so I can't remember how they fitted, only that I didn't have any trouble fitting the one I bought from Dunsfold, not at the steering lock end at an...
