Does anyone have any info on this offering from Donald and his band of 'engineers' in the late 1980's? I have bought one of these - based on a 87 RR in cypress green - it was converted from new at a cost of 21000 pounds in 1987. It has a 6.3 litre stroker motor - originally on TBI -...

Correct DLR have been looking after it for a long time.

Cannot do that - will have to be period Late 50's V8 Maybe a Buick 215 V8 - aka rover 3.5 would be appropriate!!!!! Chevy from then would have to be a 327!!!! Seriously though What I can promise you all is that it will remain exactly as it is - it will not be painted or modified in any...

It was built for filming from new - wildlife Motor racing - anything that moves basically The hatch is for the cameraman to stand up There are Lots of tripod mounts on the roof. Hope this answers all questions about its use.

We might have - send me PM with your phone number

Milk float - not Think lions,elephants,David Attenborough, tripod holders etc

No! The only 6.3 ever from OF other than one LSE And the 630r anniversary cars

As an owner of several underpigeons - 3 current and 15 overall - I cannot tell you for sure what it is - but I can definitely tell you what it is not - an underpigeon. I have sent him a very detailed question through ebay.............................................let us see what comes to pass.

Correct - my mate in Germany has the best privately-owned LR collection in the world. All of his cars are on the road, used often, and average 95% original paint - and have the same owner!!!!. www.landy-point,de

I got the car as part of a package deal of several interesting vehicles from a collector who is downsizing so did not pay a specific price as such. However we had it valued for insurance puposes and both Historic LR specialists have put a value on it of 30-35k. It is mesmerisingly...

Dog's breakfast -

Right time right place - also got the oldest-known series 3(chassis number 9) as part of the deal. That one was not in pristine body condition - and was only 90% original paint - but drove like a new car. It has gone to my series-3 addicted friend in germany now.

Hello landymens I am about to join your gang............................... Just got my muckies on this beautiful 1958 series 2 109 - totally original - car has very interesting history. It has done over 50000 miles so could never be described as a trailer queen and is still in use today...

never

sorry James - you are wrong - from 1998-on the input bearing was cross-drilled and the output shaft from the later gearboxes was changed to fit it. The later type is now used by most LT230 rebuilders because it runs much cooler. So if you have coupling problems this is generally why...

We have tried all of them - the kent H180 is best for an auto, H200 for a manual - both classed as sports torque. The real steel Viper hurricane is also very good for both applications. These are the only ones I would recommend for Road cars. Comp safari engines we fit a kent 218 but use...

Thanks for all the positives about the LSE boys - and the advice about the camshaft. I am aware of the potential pitfalls of putting up-rated cams into well-used engines - rattling shells etc - a bit like just changing one head gasket. We have just done a full mechanical overhaul on a...

Barnaby - Eureka!!!!!! Fantastic!!!!! So we have a 4.6 block, leyland P76 4.4 crank and some mustang pistons with special rods giving us 5.4 litres, or 5.2 if you go the safer route - I wonder if Mr Eales uses that setup for his 5.2? I might have a go one day................... meantime let...

Marc - 330+ bhp and 370lbs tq is quite a lot of power The Chevy 5.7 ZZ4 - hotrodder's engine of choice - makes 355bhp and 405lbs - it has a hydraulic roller cam which is 10% more efficent than a flat tappet like in the Rover - so the 5.4 isn't doing bad. remember a standard 5.7 chevy...

Yes but there are two types of input bearing in the LT230 - if you have the later type you will need the correct gearbox output shaft which is 45 quid from Ashcroft - this has a 17mm nut on the end which you just undo and swap them. Connect your gearbox and transfer box together - If it slides...
