These were the only earmuffs I saw Mildred wearing.


I hope this all helps

This place is entertaining yes, but if you want information on series 1's, apart from a slim few on here, there are better places to look.

And the slim few have been there for quite a while as well.

I think what Ian was alluding too, is this used to be a section to get info on resto's, but nowadays the General Chat aspect has taken over the whole forum. It's just evolved to be more social and less technical.

Great if you want to spend all day talking about your vehicle, not so if you want information.

i can see where yous are coming from but i think it is good to have the best of both worlds like i enjoy both alot i do find there is alot less restoration threads here now though

I agree Tony, most S1's are restored or it is now to expensive, not worth the financial effort, parts are defiantly harder to procure and the list goes on and on.
If restoring a RR or Packard the end reward in $ would make it worthwhile.
To contemplate a full restoration of a series one landie is probably indicating a crossed circuit in the temporal regions?
But who cares? we do what we do and have lots of fun doing it....
Next week my landie is going into the shed for a full makeover after restoration completed in 1992.
The tilt is coming of first for minor repairs due to age and a total respray will be in hand soon after.
All the mechanicals were done properly the first time so i only have to rectify the jumping out of 2nd gear.
New brake rubbers and that's about it.
It might be finished by march 2011, I dont like to rush things but do them at my own pace.
I will then put it on ebay and sell the two, parts 1950 and Mildred 1952 for at least $20 more that it originally cost to buy?
Such is life

Understood But if this place is just going to be a technical place - well, you've pretty much all heard the last from me. Maybe that's what's being alluded to too - I don't know. But I think, sharing the joy of these vehicles, by posting pictures - and speaking simply of the pleasure they have brought to me personally - even as a "one liner", is also a valuable contribution. Maybe ol' mate should have considered that aspect too.

i honstly think they go hand in hand
