I almost bought a nice 70K mile 1982 Rolls Royce Silver Spur last week for $5000
Then I came to my senses

Im still pretty sure that in 2 years when I'm ready to move from the xj, a used conny is gonna be the way I go....

Few would accuse me of making practical choices with autos, like trying to use a baby seat in the back of a 951 and call it a family car. The wife was not amused........;)

The grille is in the back and just needs to be bolted on.....it's an SIII grille though...

Does it come with a case of oil and some fuses?

If that's what it takes!

That's a pretty clean original truck, most of the trucks he does are very modified defenders...

Get good insurance (I mean keep the PT Cruiser as a parts runner)

Yup, not mine, a buddy's....I just bled the brakes and clutch slave for him, runs beautifully, the only real problem with it is that someone ripped out the heater core and associated bits. They also patched the spot where the heater air intake should have been, but it was done very well, impossible to tell from the exterior. If anyone is interested in it, PM me and I'll hook you up with the guy who owns it or answer any questions I can. It's sitting in my driveway right now........yes, I have 2 Rovers and a Jag on my property and the world hasn't ended.......not only that, but all of them function flawlessly.

It has charisma and patina but what is the hole in the back bumper for?

A PTO can be fitted to the transfer case and that is the opening for attachment......on my Series, that's were the wiring plug for a trailer is installed.

There's another, much smaller, hole in the front bumper for the hand crank.

That is awesome. Must.....resist.....
