You could offer them for sale with an option on the roof.  My local dealer back in the day would order Land Rovers with tilts, but fit a hard top instead if that was what the buyer wanted

Until you do the usual trick of letting the engine crane tip slightly by mistake therefore digging a gouge in the new floor. Or try to flip over a chassis by yourself in the garage - it always ends in tears.

Post a pic of how it is, then when you've finished with "the old girl", post a pic of the floor as it is then...

Currently mulling over how best to sell two vehicles. One is a 1959 S2 88 Pickup in kit form and one is a 1973 88 Series 3 which we will rebuild properly. Both are petrol.

I have a collection of hard tops, pickup cabs and soft top kits and I'm not sure what works best from the point of view of being most popular for sale. I thought of running a poll here to discuss.

With the Series 2, it has always been a pickup. Its in white and for pretty much all of its life, its been a recovery truck, so logically its best to keep it original given its used and abused look. The question is though - for selling it, would a hard top or a soft top better?

For the Series 3, its a bog standard hard top with rear side windows. My original plan was to rebuild it and then pimp it up a bit with new seats, interior, door cards and so on and sell as a soft top runabout toy. Then I thought that perhaps  it might be better to sell it as a pickup or a hard top with full length rear door.

I can't decide. Both need to go, but what sort of roofs (on 2 potentially rebuilt vehicles) would work best for a selling perspective?

I've just finished laying down the 1st coat of epoxy resin floor paint on the garage floor.

It'll be nice and smooth, not to mention dust free when I get the old girl in there.

The Landie, not the wife 😂

Anyone else on here a forum member of EMLRA. The site was down for weeks and now it's back in a different format and I can't log in. Seems you now have to pay and join club to access and contribute to the once public forum. Hope this is not the case as there was loads of good info on it.

So won't be company press fleet then. Local dealer perhaps?

Firstly, thanks to the club for sending through e mails about the survey.
Unfortunately trying to connect to the survey brings just a blank white page for me.
I assume it's because my I pad is 8 years old and systems have moved beyond its ability to update, but I'm unable to take part.

I get our local version.

Hi,

While logging on this AM (its currently 05.17 hours) the opening screen advertised a power cable for an ACER ASPIRE, at about £5.

Doh! My powerless laptop is an ACER SWIFT 1, but the picture of the Jack (jack?) plug looks like it will fit, but it will probably be safer to consult "Spotty Youth Esq." at Halfords, or wherever.

In the meantime, if anyone gets a mail from "SABRE SIX", it will be from Barbara, on my behalf. For nine years, she used a Sabre as her shopping car .... basically a plastic bodied Ford 10 special with a Zodiac 2.6 litre engine. Married for nearly 60 years, and I still wake up screaming.
