Recon gearbox, new clutch and labour ? About £800

 

Value fixed ? 1200

 

Yeah. That's about right.

To be fair they aren't TOO hard to work on as the front bonnet comes off pretty easily to give loads of access (not necessary really on just a box) then it's nuts and bolts stuff. Certainly doable on the drive, deffo in the garage and with a lift it's pretty pips.

 

I changed a seized* engine in one with my mate and it was out on the floor within a couple of hours or so (admittedly using a 2 post lift)......

 

 

Unfortunately when he swapped over the engine the next day he decided to see what was causing the seizure on the old one, yes jammed solid as diagnosed by the garage, however after removing the gearbox and starter it miraculously started turning over by hand. Starter tested, seized solid.....

 

 

Ooops.

 

Still it ran nice afterwards and the other engine was sold on eBay.

^^ WHS.

The white Montego in-a-state needs pride of place in said Tate display, with the following signage:

 

'Galloping rot.

By Austin Rover'

 

Agreed.   The Yanks have Cadillac Ranch, we should have Austin Rover Rockery

That XJS looks tasty, but not so sure about the “superior condition” claim. The Pre-HE ones really do look amazing in that sort of mustard yellow for some reason, like an old Volvo 240.

This one for sale by Mulliner Ltd...not to be confused with Bentley coachbuilders HJ Mulliner - "Mulliner" which is now the personal commissioning department for Bentley...

Right, these are from Facebook. I don't know the lad selling them, think he sells a few old cars but seems to come across as ok. They're in Wem, Shropshire (probs about equi-distant from Shrewsbury and Whitchurch). He says they all run and they're all Perkins diesels...

They're £300 each, firm. I suspect they were bought for LandRover or canal boat engine conversions, as he implied that and seems to know his stuff. He did also have a non-running 309 diesel (haven't found out which pump yet) a fairly rough 205 diesel (5 door) and a 405 estate which I believe is diesel.#

 

If anyone wants his number, drop me a message, please. No idea if that's his recovery truck in one or two of the pictures, but if he can't put you in touch with a recovery driver, I know someone who'd move them for the right price. Can only imagine they're good for the motors and a handful of other bits.

Like stepping back in time by about 20 years to the summer of 1998 or 99.

Why not just MoT it - or do people like the suspense etc?

Yeah, I was going to say that. Looks good under all the crud but strong money with no test surely?

Wouldn’t normally bother sharing from a Facebook group but I know there’s a bit of interest in V6 45s on here.

Is it me or does that Rolls look slightly ashamed of its surroundings?
