Picked up today a 1971 Suffix A..

Needs a complete body off resto. & engine strip down..

Wife thinks it should be redone in OEM Masai Red, i'm thinking of Sahara Yellow

+ 1 The yellow looks really great with the black trims, but then so does many other colours, light blue!
 
it's been a couple of colours. masai red and sahara yellow. and had vinyl roof at one point..

i need a new bonnet for it, the exposed hinge type... and anyone have any tips on removing the bodyshell from the chassis. i have a fork lift available..

zen ?

And the two p38's

The ironic thing is Ant, i made more last year from the porches than i did dragging my ass out of bed at 0630, doing a 75mile commute each way, dealing with company B/S, preparing presentations, budget forecasting etc etc.

And messing about with cars is more fun ! (mostly)

I'm involving the wife in the Suffix A resto, between bouts of her Masters dissertation.

Yup. WT5's. Very rare and used by most of the custom coach builders of the 70's and 80's.

Worth silly money to those restoring something like a Glenfrome or Carmichael etc.

That's good to know. when were they produced ? I have a set of Rostyles for it for orginality.

Not sure in dates. They appeared in the mid 70's and I suspect they halted in the late 80s.

They have a different offset to RoStyles so stick out more which can look good.

I've not decided if I like them on mine yet. Once I've returned the exterior to a 70s spec over its current 90s one then I'll make a final call as to whether to keep them or fit the refurbed steels that I have.
 
nice! do you post rangerovers.net as well ? i've seen your classic pic somewhere else.. i could definately use your input and advice.. i'll be separating the body and shell soon and there's a few bits i need as well.
