Good video, and the closing seconds takes me back to the first car my wife approved of, a Triumph 1300.

Snap! Triumph 1300TC in Sienna Brown for me - was horrified to see one in the Coventry Transport Museum earlier in the year - free entrance and worth a visit if you have owned a few british cars...

That's the one, mine was a light grey. Back in the day it won car of the year award. Had the lovely wood dash and door caps, also a clever lights & indicator dimming feature, i.e. lights on indicators dimmed, quite radical back then. Did think about going down the Dolomite Sprint route, but getting married and buying a house meant different priorities.

Ahhh - I had a Doly Sprint, a few years later in Mimosa Yellow - 1973 'L' reg - I bought it off a British Leyland employee in Oxford - he had ordered it when they were first announced - manual no overdrive on the early ones. Aluminum wheel nuts - now there was a rubbish idea! There is one of those, same colour in the museum too....nostalgia...

RE: Oh if only it were this easy!

Always wanted a Dolly Sprint, but I wanted a Triumph Stag even more! But not as much as I dreamed of owning a FFRR one day. Took 28 years of saving but in 2003 with a little help from the bank I achieved my dream - suddenly I lost all interest in a Dolly Sprint but would still love to have a Stag for those occassional sunny days we used to get!

RE: Oh if only it were this easy!

Cool video! Based on their prices, I'm guessing that this is what would be included in a LR annual service? Wink

RE: Oh if only it were this easy!

Did you notice on the tab how long it took to make the video/ overhaul the engine and how many photos he took to make it?

Did you notice how much LR charge for servicing Very Happy

Actually, joking aside, I'm quite looking forward to the Evoque servicing costs after my RRS, that and the VED. Wish I could say the same for the fuel economy though!
