:D I now have it. I will start a new thread with photos.

fett- your forum picture/avatar? looks great - what colour green is that? I hope I can get my Rangie to look that smart - out with the bucket and sponges tomorrow, weather permitting, then I will post some photos.

:D:banana:One more sleep before I collect the Rangie.

I haven't seen underneath it yet but the sills have just been done for MoT. I will take some photos of underneath plus inner wings, tailgate, etc. and ask for views on what needs doing. I intend to keep this for a long time, along with my LR S2A so I am more interested in doing all the...

1986 Vogue EFi, 4 doors, in Cypress green. Counting the days down....

Just the normal unleaded for me. I have no intention of spending more than I need to! Post originally started because I didn't know whether the RON rating of fuel had gone down since the 1980s with the advent of low sulphur etc. This RRC will be a "keeper" so will be looking after her...

Thanks for the detailed response. I am picking up the car on Monday and will post photos here once I have given it a good clean. I am bracing myself for the first petrol tank fill but what price the sound of the V8 burbling away?

I am about to pick my 1986 RRC.:D Quick newbie question: can I just stick to "regular unleaded" or is it worth trying the various petrols that have higher RON ratings, e.g. BP or Tesco Momentum? If it is worth trying the higher RON rating petrol, what are the real benefits of doing so, not...

Very true but it would be interesting to know the ratio of RRC/P38 on this forum at least. From what I have seen on the forum, most posts relate to P38 and all sorts of issues - does this really mean that the RRC do not have any reliability/running issues, or at least to the same extent? I...

I am going to get my first RR next week :D Having recently joined this forum, I find that most posts relate to P38 and their various "habits". It made me wonder how many RR Classic/P38 there are around - the website "How many left" is notoriously unreliable with anything Rover/Land Rover...

Just what it says, I found one for sale at Billing today for £250. First time I have ever seen one.

Thank you for your help and welcomes. I will post photos in the Introductions thread when I have picked up the car. Not long to wait now. Managed to get the parcel shelf for £5 at Billing today that just needed a good clean. Also saw one of the original "In Vogue" picnic hampers for sale...

I am hopeful I can salvage the one it has. Someone at Billing wanted £100 for one that was in terrible shape.

Yes. Will post pictures when she is mine! I am new to RRC ownership but I assume that lower tailgates in mint condition with a chocie of colour (cypress green) are like rocking horse excreta?

Hi All I am picking up a 1986 RRC Vogue later this month.:D Welding to sills has already been done and it has a full MoT. The first thing I will do is have a very good look underneath and if it is sound, will get it Waxoyled. There are a few rust bubbles to the tailgate and rear quarter...

Daft question most probably but I am about to pick up a 1986 RRC. Full MoT and recent welding on the sills so basically sound. I know there are some rust bubbles at the rear but would like it to be done properly. This car will be a keeper together with my LR S2A so I don't want to bodge it...

Hi all. I am new to this forum but this question often comes up on the Series 2 club forum. In a nutshell, phone the classic insurers and make sure you speak to someone with a pulse, ignore all online quote thingies - they can't cope.:confused: I tried an online one once and got quoted £850...
