Never had a warning triangle.

A very good price for the buyer. Should have had another 10k on top of that..

No. The earliest FLK was 106.

Not always easy when you're outside of the UK..

No. Just replace the fuse box with a more modern unit, rather than messing around with adapters.

There are several earlier than the 4816 for the TC; I believe the 1963 and 65 versions. I have them upstairs somewhere. Rover made a lot of changes in the first few years.

The V8 development cars used standard 2000 base units, that were then modified in various ways as development progressed. Some had standard 2000 inner wings, some had a single cut-out, some both. As for 806; I've spoken with Rob in the past. There isn't much of the original 806 left, but then...

The headlight clusters are often liked by people wanting to convert their UK-spec rectangular lights..

1980 North America Spec SD1. Only around 1,000 built.. it didn't sell well.

Wow.. a 13 year gap before this thread is revived. Is it a record?

It's a lack of knowledge, but also some urban myths. JXC808D was turned into the racer, but 806 was a little more complex. It was too rotten, so turned up as a rotten shed, along with a brand new P6B base unit.. so technically, 806 was always a ringer.

One of the better articles written, but still not entirely accurate. Both JXC806D and 808D were P6B development cars, and never 2000's.

You don't see much value in reading a book that walks you through the development and history of an amazing car, along with the various iterations of said model?

We're assuming that you actually have a seat with a mount fitted? And that you've undone the screw at the back, in order to slide it down..? Pictures are worth a million dollars..

Try running that engine in very hot environments, when the engine bay is packed full of kit, including the air conditioning setup, and see how long it takes to overheat. The scoops are needed.
