    Yeah, the market changed sine Covid, before a lot of people wanted to "overland", now, well, camping cars in general are in decline from ehat I hear. Maybe I find someone interested in good condition LT95 for some close to original restauration...

    So, just to close this thread with a defenitive update: She will get new 4-2 exhaust manifolds (the old ones are gone), a Weber / Edelbrock carb, full heat shielding and sound deadening, all of that this year. Maybe even a roof top tent...

    So, today, I looked at her. Following that, I send my technical inspector a message for a test appointment. Then I irdered some starter spray, those SUs are great, but way too lean for the new camshaft. The resulting cold start problems require...

    @Chalky, thanks for the feed-back! If everything goes well on my side, I should be able to pick the old lady up today with a set of loaner SUs! Long term, I do tend towards a weber now, less risk of going obsolete and overall more power, which is...

    I did some digging and thinking, and I do tend towards the Weber, if the price is right. I need to talk this through with the mechanic so. From what I read oblone, and I welcome feedback from you folks, is that the Weber has less issues with...

    Inclines is what I was worried about, besides an air box for a snorkel. So loaned SUs it is until I get, one day if the universe agrees, my Strombergs back

    I'd also vote for SU's if you're below 200bhp approx. They give lovely progression especially when off road and throttle sensitivity is important. The Webers don't like steep inclines or declines as the float mechanisms can lead to flooding or...

    Thing is, I have to return the SUs once my Strombergs are back one day. I have no problem with the Strombergs so, but given how long it might take to get them back, and that the price difference between tge rebuild and a new Weber is just shy of...

    Hello again! It was a very long while since I last posted something. The very good reason is that since last November the old lady is in for a partial engine rebuilt, or rather a big service. Turned out the carbs, Strombergs, are worn out...
