Well hi guys I'm new.

My names James I'm 18 and from Birmingham if anyone really cared.

I've just been given the sei off a family friend simply because the rear wheel cylinder has pop and she thought it would be a good time to upgrade. Only picture I have after I changed the rear lights from the Lexus ones to standard ones

I was going to use it as a stop gap car for when my project land rover is finished but I've come to like the car a little to much so I'm thinking keeping both and having the sei as a project for when the landrovers on the road

The sei is a 899cc with sporting bumpers and is also In need of a little tlc bodywork wise and a good service I'm going to colour code the bumpers at work and might be getting hold of some punto gt alloys
So this is the start of the build I'll get some more pictures the weekend

Ah this makes me giggle, you cannot comprehend how many times i have heard that statement over the years and do you know what, i bet if i looked back to when i first joined I probably said something similar myself. My first was a black 899 cinq s - I was so upset about getting one and was embarrassed by the thought of owning one but i needed a car and my aunt practically gave me the car. Drove off and had an inane grin on my face almost immediately.

ah birmingham,my kind of territory may drop you a pm

agreed - the landrover looks great
i got into owning a seicento as a conscious decision rather than by accident like yourself as i wanted a short wheelbase lightweight front wheel drive autotest car that didnt cost mini money and i havent looked back.
these cars are gteat fun and you never get bored driving one. You wil see some go to great lengths to produce genuinely quick cars, but i need a standard car with group 1A MSA tyres on (Ive fitted yokohama 539A's) and i love mine - hope you rnjoy ypirs tpo

Looks like a nice car, and the landy looks better than all the rust buckets that have been on my drive. Probably runs better aswell.

The engine in the landy run Sweet when it was out on the floor but never had it running in the car yet

Dang, what is it, old 2.4 petrol? I'll get some pictures of the rot box later. Did a 200tdi conversion. Was worth it only because the original engine had been killed with overfueling and webber carbs.

Nah brought it with no engine at the time it's now got a 12j in (2.5na) but might get a v8 or 200tdi/300tdi some time in the future and it's not a land rover if it's not got a little bit of rot
