I recently bought a 1981 2.25P 109 which I was going to fit a Disco 3.9 V8 into along with a new galvy chassis, but this started degenerating into a long list of modifications as I was going to fit an auto box or an LT77 mated to the original transfer box - making for an exceptionally long combo! I decided that the amount of mods required were getting a bit silly, and about that time I noticed a Stage 1 for sale on eBay - which I subsequently won

I haven't collected it yet, but this is one of the seller's pics -

Its a 3 owner vehicle with 110k miles up... and it already has a galvy chassis. It wasn't cheap, but as it was exactly the type I was after (ie an unmolested 3 door), I decided to risk it. Even the colour is what we were after - Limestone. My fiancée wanted to use our 109 as our wedding car and was happy to wait the 3 years I anticipated it would take to complete, but if this Stage 1 is as good as it seems, we may be able to bring the date forward

So we're both quite excited about it - I'm just hoping that all the expensive bits are in good order! I'll be fitting an LPG kit in due course, just want to get the basics right first, plus possibly look at fitting parabolics. I'll start a proper thread once I have the old girl home. Its going to be a nerve racking but thrilling 250 mile drive !!!
