Russell Bulgin's car built for Motor was PNV 716Y which was originally navy blue but had been painted a gun metal silver colour at one point. AC Dodd owned it for quite a while and it wound up in Scotland minus it's engine.

Adrian used to wash it less frequently than Russell clearly.

Hi,

One thing I discovered on my Mk3 was that despite the seal being in good order there was a good inch gap between the seal and the bonnet which let in all sorts of lovely fumes. I put a length of door seal rubber around the intake hole which fixed it. When I get time I plan to tweak the ducting ...

That'll be the post 1988 style connector you'll probably have either the round Rists style connector or the bullet type on the loom.

Another alternative is to get a Range Rover Classic heated screen, foglight, spot, interior or cruise control switch and ...

That looks like a cracker, not sure the missus would let me keep 3 Midas's and my trusty Rangey!!

Normally I would blank off the radiator pipe with a screw and some epoxy glue.

On mine I have used the Metro header tank as well which works really well and is similar to the setup used on injected Mini's. I've also added a pair of bleed points in the heater lines which make getting the air out of ...

That's a blast from the past, the weight of paint on that must be impressive Charlie had it painted when he had it. It also had a centre console fitted when I last drove it which had hidden a really nasty assembly mistake. The seat belt stalk captive nut plate had been pop riveted to the inside of ...

Good to see the old girl again and also good to see it still has the "Thompsons Super Shed" badge on the nose ;-)

The odd thing with the car is that mechanically it was possibly the best maintained Midas out there when Adrian had it despite never having been washed in his ownership. I did feel ...
