Scallop's Time Machine!

**Scallops** · 25th October 2010, 08:21 AM

Thanks everyone - I'm very happy with my S1. It is all original - albeit a 1957 vehicle on a 1955 chassis hence a 1956 registration! (Must recalibrate my Time machine). But 100% Rover - no odd bits and pieces - except perhaps the indicators.

So the rear lights are not Pork Pies - but Della Beacons, as per factory fit. I'm still ironing out a few factory niggles - but even the new LRers need this kind of care. She will make about 85 km/h on a flat road - faster downhill (!), and is returning pretty good economy to boot.

I'll make sure I share with you all further tales of our adventures together. The gracious comments are appreciated.

Hey Scallops, did you by any chance travel forward to 2014 to see what the next Defender is actually going to look like? Also, when you were back in 1956, I hope you had the foresight to buy some BHP shares.

I went back to 1885 for the BHP shares - even better value then.

The new Defender however, remains a mystery, as my > light speed thruster still isn't working properly - I'm sure I recall seeing a Lucas badge on it somewhere.

right next to that Tata badge
