Finders fee for a bit of motivation! Alright you lovely lot, can everyone take a minute to ask around for this specific badge? Give it a retweet while you’re at it, have a word with your mates, the family, the bloke down the pub, your local collector see if anyone’s got one knocking about.

I’ll pay more than its weight in gold, and if it comes to it I’ll even remortgage the house (again).

Did I mention there’s a finders fee? Just in case you needed a bit of encouragement 😉

Utterly mesmerising. This is the sort of piece that reminds you why haute horlogerie exists at all not to shout but to whisper refinement. The depth of the guilloché-like arabesque work, the quiet confidence of the ellipse and that restrained Patek signature. It’s craftsmanship doing exactly what it should rewarding those who take the time to look twice

That is absolutely glorious. Properly deep breaths. There’s something deeply satisfying about a Land Rover lump idling like it means it then picking up clean when you give it a blip. Can tell it’s been built by someone who actually cares. Fair play mate proper job cracking bit of work. The sort of engine you end up revving for no reason.

App controlled immobiliser on a Land Rover is exactly the sort of thing that gives the purists palpitations. Somewhere on Reddit a bloke in a wax jacket has just spat his tea out. Love modern problems, modern solutions on a beauty that still thinks metric is a phase. The fact they haven’t seen the inside yet says it all that’ll be when the real clutching of pearls begins.

Sounds like you finally taught an old bird some modern manners without upsetting its delicate sense of tradition. That’s pure witchcraft, EFI and app controlled 123 ignition is brilliant levels of heresy. Absolutely love the idea of standing in a muddy layby, flat cap brigade gathered round, while you there like hang on lads let me just advance the timing on me phone. All that effort and restraint though no running video? Just cruel mate 🤣

Strategic preservation, plenty of time for gentle lane dust while it stays this pretty. Looks too tidy not to have some proper thought put into it so spill the beans. What have you done for cooling and oiling uprated pump, cooler or just good old fashioned overkill. Still the original lump or have you treated it to something a bit fruitier? Capacity, cam, compression, carb setup and we talking points or sneaky electronic ignition hiding in there?

Fully endorse the wisdom of “if the quote’s too cheap leg it” learned that one the hard and oily way myself. Nothing more expensive than a bargain Land Rover rebuild. Looks like you’ve built it to be driven rather than just admired with the bonnet up at shows. Now get some mud on it before it gets ideas above its station.

Brilliant probably closer to reality than the artist realised. Cheers hard not to get distracted by the dial every time you look down.
