The six cylinder Land-Rovers genuinely sound fucking glorious. 
 

Thirsty though, very thirsty. 

P4 engine presumably?

Fun fact - the engine from these will fit straight onto a Honda Express I or II making it capable of over 30mph

I had one identical to that many years ago.  Top speed was 37 if memory serves.  It did climb hills a bit better than a 50 though.

Pretty much. The 2.6 litre ioe engine from the P4, but detuned slightly, about 90 bhp. Mind you, America got the full-fat 124 bhp Weslake head version very similar to the last P4 110. My mate Mark had a 3-litre Rover lump out of a P5 in one of his, which was a proper tool.

One of mine is driving one

I only drove one once but it was for 3 hours at a 4x4 centre , all off road. It was pretty capable although I would imagine the diesel would ge pretty tedious on the road.

I had a 109 station wagon that was fitted with the 2.6 6-cyl and it went OK. Later we fitted a 3.5 V8 ('cos everybody was raving about them) from a dead SD1 and, frankly, there was not much difference, other than noise level. A tuned up 6-cyl was easier to work on too.
Jet-1 is the Rover that I'd like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rover_JET1

Possibly just needs a new dizzy cap, they are difficult to get at between the back of the engine and the bulkhead and tend to get forgotten about.

Last time I saw JET1 it was on the hard shoulder of the M25 (in the days when it had a hard shoulder) with a couple of bemused nutty professor types standing next to it. Its the sort of car you tend to notice.

This really tested my "no buying of anything else until I get a few projects finished" policy. When I left my bid I didn't hit reserve and thought I was miles away from his expectations. 

It was even in Bristol, so I'd easily have been able to got it home. 

Just I really really need to not be distracted from getting the Midget and Dolomite finished.

£500/best offer seems pretty good considering it's got a full MOT

Absolute bargain that, train to Blackpool, make a weekend of it then drive it home the next day.

Nice badermatic,  but reserve not met.

I could be wrong, and I often am, but am I right in thinking this Mk3 Fiesta shares its CVT gearbag with the Panda Selecta shown further up the thread?
