Thread: Looking for a RR 2 Door restorer proj- some high level guidance would be appreciated

The 72 on carsales is down to 18k! Too good to be true? Perhaps not, could be a real bargain.

Another thing they changed around Oct 72 was a minor change to the gearbox to make it change easer. I believe that prior to this they had straight cut gears that were a real pita. They had a habit of, if coming to a red light and slipping it into first before stopping, did not want to come out of it when taking off. Owners soon learnt to slip it into neutral before stopping. I believe they solved this by beveling the gears.

Peter - I now have a copy of the book you put me on to ! it only cost $5 in the UK but $30 in postage - it was a bargain! - I have really enjoyed the read so far
thanks for putting me on to it!

"I don't think the early vehicles have SNs stamped on chassis. One of the first things I look at is the goal post/rear frame to see if it has a notch out of it in the top centre which indicates it's an early vehicle. There is always a chance this has been replaced but the probability of this is low. The said vehicle is lacking early goal post notch and has many other later model features such as dash, steering wheel etc.

I highly recommend a copy of this for anyone embarking on an early classic journey!
