Thread: Got myself some twins

Just from curiosity, did you get a chance to measure them yet? What are the details of the 2A ya lucky bugger.

Come on guys. You don't hate me that much do you?
Nm did you pick them all and the reference?
No measurements yet till sunday. All original rover motors though

Leylands right?

PS: I still hate you.

Yes you are both on the right track.

Both the 107 and the 109 have a bolt for the stay at the rear of the front wheel arch.

On the 107 the bolt is about 1" from the radius of the wheel arch
On the 109 the bolt is about 3" from the same radius.

We all know that the body to the rear on both the 107 and 109 are the same dimensions as between the 86 and 88s

A good score even if they are different wheel base.

If either of them have Grenville Motors ID tags, send me a PM with the chassis number and I may have some info for you.

Can you guess the rest? (shouldn't be too hard if you have read my "How I became the Colonel" post.

Thanks Diana, I will be getting all the numbers on Sunday and will post them all to identify them as much as possible.

I was only referring to the first two, being the twins.

I can't guess the others, although I will take a stab in the dark and say that "Les" is named after my childhood idol () the Bush-Tucker Man who I believe was named Les Hiddens...?

I did read that thread but I have a mind like a sieve and besides, I don't want to cheat.

You know I love to hate you. Cook away!

PS you had better put up a project diary as you build, with lots of pics. Pics for my dartboard that is...

OK you asked for it.

I'll put some pics together and a story as well

First 2 right.

Les. Correct.

Now follow the theme.

I still have a few names up my sleeve so it seems more farmyard bargains may be on the cards.

Wait until I introduce you to "XENA". Hubba Hubba.

swmbo drives "Betty".

then there are the bikes
