    Series 2 Military fuel tank removal/repair

    The military tank has not got the filler pipe or breather pipe. I took one that was leaking to a radiator repairer and they did a very good repair and cheap. still not leaking years later.

    1950 Series 1 LHD to RHD

    why not keep it LHD its not as if you will be overtaking other vehicles in it, and if its fairly original then at 68 years old I would do just enough to make it safe and usable. Keep the patina. Good luck.

    ambulance

    its part of my pension pot. I can take it to shows driven by my daughter and when I get too old to play it will be sold and fetch more money than if I put it into a pension plan that makes nothing. if everyone rips the back out to make campers another bit of history is lost forever.

    Series 2 A little advice on parts please?

    must come out underneath as it bolts under the outriggers. many old radiator repairer places will take on fuel tank repairs and do a good job at a reasonable price. military engines normally use the pump with extra bolt hole.

    Spot the series part

    You can legally put an old reg number on a a newer vehicle but should be jailed for passing it off as original.. It makes it bad for those of us that have genuine historic vehicles and use period type parts to keep it that way.

    spare wheel carrier for soft top

    I have just fitted a swing away carrier to my series 3 . But I will be removing it this weekend because I consider it dangerous as the passenger cannot open the rear door from the inside, but not a problem to you on a open top with tailgate. It will be for sale cheep
