'Heritage' Trail
« on: January 08, 2006, 22:14:01 »
After the reaction to this Poll, I thought; "I'll try & capture a few" :lol:
Now this is going to be a damn hard one to do, at there was (apparantly) only 275 built (UK market only??)

This follows on from the long running (& now missing in action) 'Fabulous 50th's'[/i] thread, whch had reached about 19pages?? (bet I can't stretch this one out that much???)

So a few (repeated) bits about the specification (& mine)
1999 'V' plated
12 seats as standard (mine has an all-steel cubby-box)
Bronze Green & Sage Green were the available colours (not even seen a picture of a Sage 110)
Green leather seating (complete, not just the faces)
Silvered door & bonnet hinges
Ivory instruments with chrome bezels
Running-bars/side-steps
'XS' style alloys on 110 (Discovery 1 XS) & 'Free-Styles on 90

Admittedly I'm having a few 'teething troubles' :roll:  with mine, which are annoying after an incident free 30,000miles in the Discovery (Discovery breakdowns = 2 new bulbs & a new tyre)

It's been out today over to the wilds of the Lincolnshire coast (a 190+mile round trip), with only a coat of road-grime to show for it.
We went 'Seal Hunting' :wink:
(See here)

I'd like some higher gearing at some point (spoilt by Discovery??), perhaps the GKN overdrive?, as it seems more logical than raising the high-range gearing, especially for towing.

And here it is, captured on Wednesday 4th (January) with the Ifor-Williams at the local land-fill after a trip with all the rubbish since the last collection (2 weeks prior)

Can't get through the gate now, too high, had to have it opened for me :lol:

Thanks Jake :D

If you ever see a Sage Green 110, snap it, it's the rarest combination of the 4 offered
It was available, but I've never even seen a picture of one :?

There's usually a sage green 90 up the road from my office, think the owner is a member of MROC from what I remember - if I see it I'll try and get a pic.

Just been to Guy-Salmon & got some plates made :D

Phoned Adrian Flux to notify them & they didn't even want an 'Administration Fee' :shock:  :shock: (as I'd expected), they said it was because I had a 'Cherished Plate' on the Discovery & expected me to be changing it (plus it had happened within a calendar month)

Blimey that links takes up some width :shock:  :shock:

No, the wheels were colour-coded on early models (that one may have sat around in a showroom/compound for a while)
It's quite a bit dearer than mine was.

Sorry, not thinking before hand, the correct colour is (as stated) Atlantic Green

During a trip out this afternoon to Skelmanthorpe to take 'Small-Child' & SWMBO to a class-mates birthday party, I continued onwards to Penistone in order toreturn the documentation for my old Discovery as I received it back during the week & it was the first chance I got to go over.
To my surprise it was sitting on the forecourt glinting in the sunlight, i almost wanted to take it back home with me

The first few 'WebShots' published images of S50 RAT, more to come throughout Spring.

It was nice to (mentally) compare the 2 vehicles over the route I went to Penistone.
I know the 110 has lower transfer box high-range gearing, but it still climbed a gear higher (or without appearing to struggle)

Never met him face-to-face, but whenever I 'speak' to him on the 'Defender50th' forum, he asks if I want to call over whenever I go to Royston Vasey-by-the-Sea.

Thought they'd still got that one, we almost went to look at that.

It was on the 'viewing  list', as I didn't expect the one I bought still being on sale, allowing for the 'lead time' of magazine adverts.

It's a nice colour, suits the 90 better than the 110

I'm given to understand that Simmonites have a (shall we just say...) certain reputation over their pricing.

Well John bought a hi-lift jack and paid a little over the odds but not much.......some of the prices they quoted though nearly had me choking! They quoted 16 pounds more than our regular place for a defender cubby box and we asked for a price on a gear knob for the discovery and were quoted 35+ vat! Oh well you live and learn  :wink:

I remember my old 110Tdi being in Simmonites & looking at it, then discounting it due to the price (& wanting even then a CSW)

So by the time we bought one, having been told by SWMBO that we only needed 2 seats & plenty of Dog-space, & decided that a 110 Hard-Top was sufficient, it re-appeared at Copley Motors (the Halifax LR main-dealer, on the road to Sowerby Bridge)

Without going into the details of the test-drive
Warp drive compared to my 2A Light-Weight. Cresting the hill to the M62 at almost 70mph (salesman driving) :shock:  :shock:  :twisted:  :twisted:  & subsquent haggling over price, px & accessories

(and a test-drive of a new 4.6HSE at the time as well)

Simmonites were almost £700 dearer than the main-dealer (+ there wasa good warranty offered by Copley)


I know it was the same as I looked through Simmonites old 'LRO' adverts & found it (plus a Simmonites rear number plate under a seat)

Rear recovery is now sorted out (temporarily) & the tachometer is now finally re-positioned.

The next steps are to install one of my pairs of Anderson Plugs & wire-up the 12S socket

I've been out this morning up to my favourite little haunt.
To my intense disappointment the cafe I'd intended calling at was closed for renovation (just hope they don't 'renovate' the price-list as well)

Water was very low at the reservoir that is crossed to gain access to the western side of the bridge

Still, it was quiet down there, so I sat with my flask of tea & the 'Yorkshire Post'[/i] contemplating going up onto Ilkley Moor as well. Sadly it was a bit over cast & therefore not really worth the extra travelling.
I'll wait for a nice sunny day (like it's turned out now :twisted: )

Sorry. Some of the images are now in my 'WebShots' (110 'Heritage' album)

I'm 99% certain certain I saw an Atlantic Green 90 yesterday at a business address somewhere local.
But, for the life of me, I can't remember where it was to go back & look for it :oops:  :oops:  :oops:
