It needs tyred but cant get um cheap, as there metric stupid size that were only made for this model and the Rover SD1.
So I'm having to change the wheels already but got a cheap £60 BMW set of a mate with tyres to chuck on soon as snows gone away.
I wont be using it properly untill my foots totaly up to it but it'll be sat there teady for when I can just get in and go.
It gives me a bit of optimisum seeing it sat there, even if the wife detests it
I've had 3-4 of these mate, all 4.0l and they were bomb proof, seriously comfortable and actually a really under rated all rounder. Next time your mate is in it get him to do an emergency stop... you will be amazed at how well they do it considering how heavy they are.
Used to drive too and from Portsmouth a lot early in the morning and would just set the cruise control to 120 and sit in silence for the next 40 mins until home, never missed a beat until I hit a dead fox one morning.... that was quite scary!
Enjoy it!! ps lowering them ruins them a bit...
EDIT, I might have a box of bits at the back of my garage somewhere for these with all sorts of random spares and quad headlights... If you need anything give me a shout and I'll start digging! Pretty sure i didn't chuck it all away.....
