Classic 3.9 softdash back from refurb

My classic softdash 3.9 now fully restored to rude health. Trouble is it's almost too nice to use.





Just waiting for the correct (blue centre) wheels to come back from the refurbers.

With particular thanks to DavidP whose kind donation of front overriders/crush can covers enabled me to get the job completed properly.

perroverde - Congratulations on a superb looking car. What was involved in the refurbishment ? sills, rear crossmember etc, I presume ?

Gary - there was a '95 N 3.9 Vogue SE in Epsom green on ebay a couple of weeks ago with low miles but needed alot of welding by the looks of it . . . . . £1200 !

There's a 25th Anniversary Classic on one of the classic car ad sites at the mo for £15k. Not a bad place to put your money given the way Classics are going Whistle

Thumbs Up Where do you go after one of these . . . ?

United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover SE TDV8 Java Black

Thanks guys, I'm pretty chuffed with it to be honest. I had planned to sell it on but we decided it's so nice we'll keep it after all (with apologies to the person on here who wanted to buy it!). It was in pretty good condition underneath but had been unloved for a long time and looked pretty sorry for itself. Biggest problem was removal of the bullbar and aux lights which had literally rotted on, and we couldn't find any covers for the unsightly crush cans up front for love nor money, until DavidP kindly came to the rescue by donating some he had lying around in his garage (and the RNLI are a few quid better off as a result!).

Funnily enough it was me who bought that. The old guy who looks after my grounds, dogs etc has decided he loves the blue one and wants one too so I've bought it for him. Feeling brave now we've had the learning curve experience of the blue one to venture on to another one, I liked the fact it had low miles, is an 'N' reg. The interior is like new, the chassis and underbonnet are very sound, the oily bits all good. However the paint is completely shot and yes, it needs a new cross member and sill. Don't they all...?!

Can't say much more than what's already been said above. Thumbs Up Si. <This is my name.

I eat rat poison.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.
