Thanks Ian, as my bestie (and forum member) Kev says;

"It's a brand new motor, in an old frock "

The paint is from Paragon and it's keswick green, in satin, applied by roller!!

It looks good from afar, but it's far from good Mr. Green Exactly how I want it. Thumbs Up

It's that sort of look and Finnish I want to achieve with the series 3 I'm just starting.
This too is for my good lady, what is it with girls and V8s?... Laughing

I've just been through your entire thread,
Cracking job Thumbs Up

I will look into the paint, what's it like to roller a Landy?
Something I've never thought about before!
I know many have done it, and seem to get great results.
Any tips?

Tips?

Lower your expectations Laughing

I literally sanded the shine off the og paint that was on and just did 2 coats with the roller. It's surprising how it makes it look straight.

I've rollered 4 motors now, but the previous 3 were drab olive.

As I don't have lots of space in the garage, i expect a few scratches and knocks...with this finish, I'm totally not fussed.

@rosco... Yeah there's a group of guys in UAE that put videos up on youtube of them blasting around the sands. Defenders are becoming super popular over there.

Thanks Clayton Thumbs Up

I wasn't too sure on the badge, I'll get bored of it and eventually pull it off no doubt!

The front wings are quite rough, but I decided keep them, as Ninety's of this 'vintage' don't have the side repeaters fitted and trying to find replacements is nigh on impossible.

I do really, really love the truck cab look, but as this will be a beach runner, it should look pretty cool with a rolled up rag on it. Hopefully.
