Ahhhhhh its happened to me too.. All my family have been infected with
the solihull virus, up untill now I had been happy just driving a land
rover but now... I can hardly say it..
I've bought a 1958 Series 1 88" to restore!
There I said it.
Help! I need (amongst a billion other parts) to find a new or
reconditioned (read, almost in one piece)Bulkhead for this series 1.
Can anyone help.
I also need, NEW chassis, rear lights (what type??), seat cushions,
tailgate (haha).

Look in the shed, purge yourself of those parts, you will never use
them!

Now ; I personally don't have a problem with this , BUT .....

New chassis , New bulkhead etc etc etc

Hardly a "restoration" is it ??????? , , more of a "build a new one and use
the old logbook" init?

Surely worth it if you don't have to pay road tax on it though ;)

Obviously you guys have not caught the solihull virus!
I believe that we have a duty of preservation an certain things, and
the series 1 landrover (sorry, land-rover)is every inch a classic. The
land-rover in question has excelent bodywork, and there is a lot more
to a series truck that the bulkhead and chassis! there's the ....
erm.... err, things.

I got enough of the Solihull virus to buy me a Freelander 3+ years
ago. I'll be well pleased when I am able to offload it to buy
something with decent load space in the back. Nissan X-Trail is on the
list of favourites because the rear seats fold down to provide a flat
load space - in the Freelander all you get are a couple of back seats
tilted on edge, ludicrous.

At the time I was in a completely different career which didn't
require tool kits and materials to be carried around.

There's a reason they nicknamed it the 'Freeloader', 'cos its' not a
*REAL* landrover. It just happens to be made by them to cater for the
school run market.

If you want load space buy a 110! :)
