    Barn Find

    I have found a 356 D 11/77 Classic Range Rover that is one owner, 41,500kms since new, basically in good condition, with no corrosion, covered in dust, serviced less than 500kms ago but more than 5 years. It does run but overheats & not sure if it is radiator blockage related, or head gaskets! Further investigations to take place on Wednesday.

    A couple of photo's attached & any suggestions greatly appreciated:

    fantastic find! wish I could come across one half as nice! I would love one like that, your at the point already I hope to be in a few years after making one good car out of the two in my yard

    should be easy enough to tell if its head gasket, but its probably due for a radiator anyways irrespective of the mileage

    Nice find - see if they have the seat base covers - originally plastic but were available in fibreglass - these screw onto the outside of the front seat base - was the only thing that seems to be missing that I could see in the pics.
