This is the one youve been waiting for.
A superb Simon Durant full restoration but not to be confused with all those that have been finished so recently that the paint is still not dry (miaow!). This is a more mature restoration which has the added piquancy of a delightful patina.
And, not only was it restored by Simon to his usual high standards, but it was also owned by him at the time, so you can imagine that he was extra fastidious in bringing her back to a better than new factory standard 50th Anniversary with no expense spared.
In addition, it is one of the somewhat rarer 50ths on a 1999 T plate rather than the more numerous 1998 S plates. Its (original) registration number of T63 BSO complements the edition number of GB 063.
Under Simons hand, GB 063 had the following:
A full respray
Re-powder coated Roll Cage
Re-powder coated NAS rear step
Re-powder coated steering guard
New bumper
New A bar
New head lamp surrounds
New radiator grill
New chequered plate Wing tops, Sides, Rear 1/4s and NAS step
New rear fog light
New reversing light
New number plate light
New rubbers on all windows
New windscreen
New sliding rear windows
Tip top Seats from another 50th
New tyres
Refurbished alloys
New pads and discs
Replaced manifolds and gaskets
stainless steel bolts on all door hinges even the front air vent hinges
New stainless steel bulkhead bolts
New stainless steel bumper bolts front and rear
New rear seat stainless steel bolts
1001 other new stainless bolts
New mud flaps front and rear
New shocks front and rear
New steering damper
Wax oiled
New exhaust system from the cat back
New 50th V8 decals
As luck would have it, after Simons ownership, it fell into the hands of another real enthusiast who set about making it even better by fitting:
A Mark Adams chip
A Mantec swing away spare wheel carrier
Silicone hoses
Original Land Rover driving lamps
Aluminium front door hinges
Chrome rear door and bonnet hinges
Chrome air intake
Croytec aluminium instrument surrounds
Under bonnet detailing
The car has covered just under 89,000 miles with a full service history. Services have been carried out at 6000, 12164, 23,967, 35876, 40000, 45937, 49562, 56311, 67515, 72000, 80909 and 85000 miles, all of which are stamped in the Service Record. Since then, services are evidenced by invoices at 86500, 87195, 88273 and 88897 miles.
GB 063 is offered for sale at £42,000 which represents great value for money for what is one of the best 50ths around.
It will show exclusively on this Forum for a period before widening to the usual places.

No takers so far, not even a cheeky offer! So, now on Ebay as an auction listing. Plenty of 'watchers' but no-one brave enough yet to start the bidding.
Just back from annual service and has new MOT with no advisories until 15 July 2017.
Go on, you know you want to!
