hahahaha!

A member that was interested in the car requested I do a compression test. Haven't had time, though. I've also been working on an old 97 Vitesse P38 that is giving me all sorts of problems. Got the P38 running yesterday, though!

I'm still trying to find time to do a compression test. The engine isn't shot, it is actually in great shape. The previous owner bought the car from Land Rover at 22K miles and serviced the truck extensively. I've been driving it all week and it runs beautifully. I can't find any signs of...

Email sent!

Car hasn't over heated, but it should be about due for the head gasket based on mileage. Its a clean truck, thats for sure.

Didn't get your email, please try again. I am glad to send pics.

That is good to know for the future! Thanks!

He has insurance and will take care of it through them or out of pocket, but I feel bad that an honest guy is losing out and I'm blown that I have the hassle of dealing with an extra repair on a Rover. We all know how much love they require. Sucks he couldn't do his job and sucks that I have...

I had a feeling that was the case. I'm furious with the shipper. He damaged the tow hook, bumper, and lost one of my master keys. This project is off to a rough start.

Here is one...

So, the trucker that carried my vehicle from Florida to Virginia damaged it during shipping. I haven't looked closely, but the tow hook sure is bent. He managed to get the tow hook pointing straight at the ground. Anyone know if they're bolt on? I'm hoping it's not too tough of a fix.

I think the yellow looks great on the P38 as does just about any color. :) The interior is really sharp and I will probably paint the outside to a near factory quality if the mechanicals are easily sorted. I'm just excited to have a Rover back. The truck had been sitting for a year or so. PO...

There wasn't a Vitesse for 98. They made about 250 in 97 and they only came in AA Yellow or Monza Red. The produced the Vitesse again in 2000, but the only color I remember is black. Not sure of the other colors for 2000. White was never a Vitesse color and that badge is not authentic.

My neighbor is going to sell her 2004 D2 finished in Java with only 83K miles. The car has a coolant leak somewhere up top, needs work done to the rear passenger door handle, needs one window regulator, and that is about all I know. Its a clean car overall. She hasn't set a price, but it will...

Not sure what the plan is for this beast, but I just added it to my fleet. Its a '97 Vitesse with 116K. Not a panel on the car has matching paint, but it is accident free. The PO tried having paint work done after it has been in the Florida sun for years, but they weren't able to match...
