You're welcome!
Did some minor things on the SD1.
I noticed the oil sump was a bit rusty so i removed the rust and painted it with Hammerite:
I also finished some old repairs with sealand.
My brother visited so we could give his newly purchased '75 Buick LeSabre a cavity wax treatment as well. After all this we had to take some photos. US luxury vs UK luxury:
An Rover SD1 is not a small car but the Buick is just massive!

Wow, two stunning cars with shared DNA! The original Rover V8 engine was from the 1963 Buick Special and was known as a 215 cu in unit. A bit different to whats in yours now but found this on the LeSabre, might be intersting :

Obviously the DNA in your family helps you and your brother find and look after stunning cars Marc!

You're welcome Marc, i've always been interested in the 1986 ish Mercury LeSabre as i think they're nice looking cars. Being a Ford brand, many parts should cross to other vehicles and be relatively cheap compared to some other marques.Marc-827-Vitesse wrote: ↑Mon Oct 24, 2022 5:12 pmThanks for the link!

No Marc - what i really meant was Buick LeSabre - why i wrote Mercury i'll never know! Also ignore any references to having Ford bits in your brothers Buick LeSabre as it is of course a GM car! No i hadn't been drinking and wasn't on any mind-altering drugs when i typed it but you might think i was!Marc-827-Vitesse wrote: ↑Wed Oct 26, 2022 3:25 pmMercury Sable you mean?

Sunday washed the SD1, filled it up, pumped up the tires, took it for a spin and put it in winter storage.

Great work Marc - something ironic has just occurred to me, Van Den Plas was originally a Dutch coachbuilder that British Leyland bought in (i think) the 1960s and now you have a 1980s British Leyland car with the Union Flag next to the (originally) coachbuilders name in the Netherlands - may brain cell seems to be on a philosophical line tonight!
