actually that flat front Transit should be a V 4 cyl as the original 6cyl Transit had a pushed out front to fit the bigger
engines of 200ci (3.3 litre) and the 250ci (4.1 litre) {local ambulance station had a few of these back in the late '70's}
i like the 1750 Maxi motor in front of the cop car[/quote]

Hi carl
Good spotting, the E series Is from one of my spares maxi's and the flat front was originally a V4, but has been retro fitted with the 250 six, I just dont like the Bullnose, so we got it to fit without changing the nose, you do have to cut the firewall tho

To celebrate yesterday's rare astronomical event, did you sit in the Transit and play this song?

I didn't actually, tho I have seen the Feelers live in the Riwaka Tavern
Disco only in the transit, on the 8 Track

I was talking to a friend the other day and she mentioned that she would be taking a taxi from the church to the reception, cant have that I thought.
She also mentioned she'd like a classic Jag, me too I said.
As if by Magic one appeared in my drive. (Trade me you have a lot to answer for!)
Bored with waiting for my other projects to be finished, I bought another one

nice series1 there !!

What a great looking series 1 jag raelly cool

Thanks guys, I just couldn't resist it, it was cheap and in good condition and it was white too
7000 people had looked at the auction, loads of questions, 10 people had arainged to look at it, and i was the only one who turned up!
Whats happening to the internet these days? is it the same on ebay?

You've just bought yourself a business, white Jag classic wedding car.

Hopefully, its gonna have to earn its keep, it drinks like Oliver Reed

Series II, say the rego papers (raised front bumper and split grill ). First reg 17/6/74. Should be locally assembled (at Nelson) from ckd kit. A unique feature was the black vinyl mats sewn onto the carpets in the front footwells featured the British Leyland 'L' logo .

Very nice.

Bet you're glad it's not the V12 then. That'd drink Oliver under the table.
