I have a 22 year old Pajero, a 35 year old Honda Pick Up,
and a 51 year old Peugeot Van........

So that's a combined age of 108

My money is on Rick !!

[Ellis]

Let me see now :

Series 1 Land Rover : 58
Series 2 Land Rover : 50
Jaguar Mark 2 : 48

Total 156

I reckon that's a mere stripling total compared to some of you.

1935 = 77 (Standard 9 Chassis)

1953 = 59 (Ford e93a engine and gearbox) gearbox was new old stock in still crated in 1970

1956 = 56 (Ford 100e rear axle)

1957 = 55 (Ford 105e front-hydraulic-brakes on the Standar 9 axle)

1963 silencer = 49 (Massey Furguson)

1965 tractor headlights = 47 (uses 6-7 inch sealed beams)

Front sidelights - A35.

Rear boot hinges - Austin or Morris.

Shock absorbers - Hillman Hunter and Ford Anglia

Known ages take my one car to over the 340 mark.

But to be fair as one car it is a sibling at 53

Makes me feel old when I think it was the year I signed up to serve Queen and country.

Looking at Roger's list of components on his special, prompted me to tot-up the ones on mine. Does this make my special the most diverse 'Bitsa' on the forum?

I have to thank all of these donors for my Austin 7 (Pigtin) Special:

Chassis and rear axle. Austin 7 1937.

Engine and gearbox. Reliant, circa 1973.

Independent front suspension. Super Accessories c 1955.

Footbrake and clutch pedal cluster. Reliant c 1970.

Front brakes. Morris Minor c 1960.

Rear brake system. Austin A30 c 1955.

Steering column and box. Austin 7 c 1935.

Remote gear change unit. Triumph Gloria c 1935.

Austin 7 radiator and shell. New pattern manuf’ c 1995.

Rear shock absorbers/spring assistors. Honda Moped c 1980.

Fuel tank. Austin Ruby c 1938.

= c 575 years.

Ali’ plate ¼” and 1/8” thick for bulkhead fly screens and much bracketry come from a Century Bowling lane conditioning machine, c 1980.

Many other things found around the garage, and of indeterminate age were also used totaling over 550 years
