Attn: Solihull Faithfull (Series 1)

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!
