SD1
Range Rover



SD1 was the most promising BL car in a long time, let down by some design flaws / build quality but great styling for the time and practical hatch. I do remember the car filling with dust in the boot area, something to do with the way the ventilation worked, and in the rain the glove box used to fill up with water. My other memory was the cassettes used come out like hot toast and due to the almost vertical orientation of the stereo we called it the toaster.
Range Rover was really groundbreaking, engine wasn't great sadly. They would wear out at low mileages and had poor power, early ones were quite clonky . Nice examples of RRs fetching serious money now.

random pile of spares for a mk4 2 door 1979 Ford Cortina (Taunus actually) that i used to have. Offered to current owner of car but was not interested.

Towrite Electric ambulance
Sold to RR member





Total height 280cm . Cab has sliding doors. Box has a side door and a folding ramp at the rear a bit like a horsebox ramp.
Internal measurements of rear box
310cm long
180cm wide
202cm tall
The box could be removed , leaving an enclosed cab with rear windows. The truck is 48v and has an electronic controller. It has a 48 - 12v converter to run the lights etc. It has a diesel tank with external filler fitted because it used to have a Webasto cabin heater under the cab seats, it should be pretty straightforward to fit a replacement one in its place. Condition: It is sound but tatty , it requires some fibreglass repairs to front of cab, Some of the glass is cracked (Standard plant glass) . The vehicle does not come with any batteries but I have tried connecting 4 car batteries up to it and it runs drives and stops. The axles/wheels/brakes are LDV Pilot with 185R14C tyres and has disc brakes, easy to get replacement bits for. PM me if interested in this project. Could make good snack van, or advertising van especially as tax exempt , ULEZ compliant and potentially MOT exempt so could stay in one place and wouldn't even need to run. I am in Sussex RH19


If you insured it there's no reason why you couldn't leave it in your road indefinitely and use it as a shed, electric commercial vehicles pre 2015 are exempt from MOT.

Here I am hauling a 180BSSS a Skyline C110 a Honda ST70 and another small Honda.

thanks. i don't buy from Amazon and 8L would be too big but will check out the others. I think rubber doesn't mind acid, whatever is in TFR seems hard going on rubber though even at 30-50% dilution.
