Went to Kev's today , he had about 150 boxes of Rover & Landrover parts. There was a box with about 10 new Lucas head light glasses for 80" tractor lights , also a new head light reflector for a tractor light cosr $30, lots of new head light rims ( chrome & brass for painting) for 7" s1 lights lots of S2 & S3 tail , indicator Park light glasses. There was so many parts it was hard to look for bits. I bought a VRSH gasket set for a 1595cc motor & an engine set plus a 80" horn , total cost $25. He had some 2L gasket sets , one 2L VRSH set & transmission gasket sets . He also had a heep of 2L shim head gaskets.

Kev sold 10 new 80" spark plug caps to a guy from the rover Club for his Rover P4 for $40 , a bargin when a set of 4 sold on ebay the other day for around $200. He has some L/H & R/H landrover tie rod ends , valvers & guides ( not sure what model) & lots of Lucas parts.

Hi All

I remember that there was a Royal Landy sold at Auction 8 years ago
$25,000 ish
The Gentleman that bought it is Paul Freestone who runs a Melbourne Trucking Company.
After he bought it he removed the canopy from the back of the car so he could use it as a daily runner at the beach house on the weekend.

Not sure what he did with it.

I've bought all the 80" tractor light glasses & the new reflector off kev
I am al so thinking of buying the rest of the parts also , just have to work out if i will get my money back when i sell them.

I couldnt get there.
Good idea if you get the stuff. Need some of those copper washers for the ends of the plug leads.

Not much happening on the Royal as trying to fix the brakes on the 6x6 tug. Boosters havnt arrived so having to go on this weekends trip to Rosevale as is.

All loaded , ready to go in a couple of hours.

I dont think there was any of the copper washers in it but it was very hard to look through it all. Its not all of Kev's parts just his private colection of Rover & L/R bits . I make my washers out of copper shim . hope you have a good weekend .
