I just bought one of these from Dunsfold for £18
They had more if you wanted a period "aux lights switch"  |

Ken
Any chance you could give me dimensions or copy the bracket that holds the diagnostic plug to transmission tunnel I have been struggling to find this on Microcat for my build. Would be very much appreciated. Nice truck by the way Autos rule !! |

Don't muck about with that nasty Rover engine slap head, chuck in a proper LS3.

ken - i had twin exit stainless pipes from J E Engineering on my 50th; it sounded like a TVR when pressing the go faster pedal (but the engine was one of their 4.9 rebore and blueprinted versions).
i did sell it because i too don't like auto transmissions |

Very nice, would love one of these & watching with interest
 Apart from my own 2 Td5s my other favourite 90 is a friend of mine's NAS D90 in the states which is pretty much what a 50th Anniversary is.

+1 a Rover V8 without the auto is totally wasted - planting your right foot and effortlesly launching into warp factor is 99% of the fun. Manual boxes are for old diesels  |
