Are these lights headlights or spot/floods? I fancy sticking a set of extra headlights on my Caddy with the main beams linked with the normal headlights and the dipped fitted with an isolator so that I can turn them off in non-rural areas (all on relays, natch)

My folks had two of these, and F reg saloon and an N reg fastback. Both were 820Si's and I got to drive both of em and thoroughly enjoyed the experience (as an 18-21 year old).
The fastback rolled like a trawler and the steering was way to light, but they were quick enough.......

I am really loving this thread but the sad thing is that SWMBO was reading over my shoulder and now wants one for her business. You need to finish the Goddess first....

Whilst I would've loved to see the old girl running a 6BT, I'm really looking forwards to seeing your engine surgery!

I spoke to Richard Jones at length when my BiL and I were trying (abortively as it turned out) to fit a 2.2 Legacy engine into his T25. I didn't but a single thing from him, but he seemed more than happy to talk through what was needed and what went where, I proper good bloke!

I do like a quick blatt down Jubilee Drive, although it's less fun in autumn with leaves on the road, a dash of rain and front wheel drive......

I have a mate who has two of these for his business, he makes and sells Mexican food from his vans, named Jesus H Van and Mary.
if you frequent festivals, you might see him, the company is called Luardos.
love the van, looking forwards to seeing where it goes. Bookmarked!

It shows how long it was since I last bought any tyre in the 'Vern, Millers was on Edith Walk, and there was a car aprts place where they are now (Panels and Paint?).
I used to use ETB around the corner (next the the LightHouse, am I showing my age yet?) and they were always great, but that was at least 10 years ago......
Loving the car and playing "spot the location" on some of your photos.
Cheers
Pete

! Yeah, big flat wheels work with the Citroens wedgie shape, but try finding some OEM ones in 5x108! 5x108 - It's a curse I tell thee! if you're willing to go non-COEM, there's plenty of choice from Ford, Jag, Volvo, Renault etc

I do like the V6 though, got a 2.5 in a Mk3 Cavalier I need to get on and finish..... I had one about 8 years ago. I fluffing loved it (other than the rust, thirst, steering wobble, ability to eat tyres, and the thirst). It sounded lovely, lovely enough to get me nicked for speeding in a tunnel...... ;D

I can't help but think that there looks like there's enough room under the bonnet for a V6......

there's a guy in Lincolnshire who has fitted a Rolls Royce Meteor engine in a Rover SD1, he used a step up gear system from a bus to overcome the low revs from the RR lump.
see here for some of his madness:
