Quote from: Adam1958 on Nov 20, 2024, 06:40 PMI didn't really mind what they did to the old bus, kind of cool to see the whacky colours and stuff... I didn't love the blue, or the body colour cross-member, but someone did.

I guess any Landrover back on the road and being used... and on TV being talked about has to be better than one in a shed unloved. (Also it wasn't chassis number one of some obscure and important variant)

I probably shouldn't admit this, but it did inspire me to take a look at 50s/60s car paint colour charts so I can pick something for my old wagon. There are some really lovely Jag colours from that era and a few VW and Porsche ones that could be contenders... though a few will definitely require tan leather seats to be made.
 
I hope I haven't put anyone off their tea!? 😉
....but PLEASE, not a white steering wheel!!!

No, most certainly not. 😂 it would be rust and oil brown in no time with my grubby mitts gripping it.

I think a white steering wheel makes a very bold statement, it says; this vehicle is 100% reliable and maintenance free.

Which clearly is a whopper of a fib.

.....or a tame mechanic on 24 hour stand by.

Issue I have with the White Steering Wheel is that Paul Purchased a NOS Black Horn Centred Crinkle Painted Steering Wheel Centre for £175 from Charlesworth Mouldings Only to sand it down and Paint it WHITE!  - What a waste of £175 NOS Black Horn Centred Crinkle Painted Steering Wheel Centre!

To be expected. I suspect that was Drew's idea.
