Stage 1 V8

Can anyone identify this gear lever: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48496769176_b436eebc22.jpg Untitled by Geoff172 , on Flickr It looks as though it's for a Stage One, except that it bends downwards above the damper instead of the other way! If it's not for some other model, could it have been...

My green Stage One was originally mid grey and it's quite an unusual colour for a Stage One, so I think that's a good choice. It's more unusual on Land Rovers generally than bronze green and I think it looks pretty smart - I'd be interested to see a photo if you do choose that colour. If I ever do g...

For the 109 V8 or an ordinary one?

These looked a better buy for someone: https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Genuine-Land-Rover-series-mud-flaps-/201613750126 I think I can tell whether the lettering is cut in or raised, and these look raised. Probably quite genuine yellow lettering, but I still think probably a bit later than the cut in letter...

I like the original Stage 1 colours too. Having only a Limestone and a dark green Station Wagon I really fancy a yellow or red pickup to brighten things up a bit (I might draw the line at Java Green though :) - the first Stage 1 I went to look at was Java Green - I didn't buy it - but that was more ...

The ones I have are certainly very thick and sturdy. These look like the ones you're describing: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gen-Land-Rover-Series-88-SWB-Series-1-2-2a-3-Rear-Mud-Flaps-Brackets-GLR304-/153444358892?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l4275.c4 It's entirely possible there was more than one type at...

How do you know yours are original Series 3 ones? They sound like someone painted them yellow. Very few original ones would have survived in reasonable condition all this time on the vehicle, though they could be original replacements fitted at any time since. This is what they should look like: htt...

Series mudflaps would have had yellow rased letters though they can fade to whiteish. I think the colour is in the rubber so they don't seem to loose it completely, rather like white wall tyres. I hate to nit-pick (tho' I'll go ahead and do so anyway!) but the lettering on original Series 3 mudflap...

Just rubber tubing and cable ties surely.

There's an old thread about this on another forum: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/rear-fog-lamp-bumper.216291/ The one on my limestone Stage 1 is missing and I can't say I've ever missed it, but I don't keep my spare wheel on the back door. I can't see it in the parts books, including the O[...

If the catch you mean is this part, they are available cheaply:

I'd go and have a look at it - if it wasn't in Australia.

Googling it, I found a photo of a Stage One fire tender DMB 902X with Cheshire Fire Service on this page - scroll down to find it - I didn't read but looked like might be some info there:

You might as well ask for the Holy Grail. I have one Sundym windscreen (badly chipped) left of four, and have been looking out for Sundym replacements for years. The only possibility I have heard of, unless you're very lucky to stumble upon any surviving original glass (and windscreens tend to get b...

There is supposed to be an aftermarket, bespoke conversion for a handful of armoured Land-Rovers used in Northern Ireland. I understand this utilised most of the original steering system and not the usual chassis chop 110/Disco conversion typically seen today. Ah, I remember a reference to this in ...
