    I've never heard of a roof tent built into the roof before. It looks like a tidy piece of kit! It'll be nice to be able to leave it on knowing it's VERY unlikely to be stolen!

    Nice job Mike (and Jeff). Handy with the forklift certainly. Wouldn't mind a pop up roof for mine - maybe someday.

    i helped a friend fit one of those many years ago .. we used a 2 post lift to raise the AluCab ..... but Mike & Jeff's fitting went way better than ours

    Very nice 110 Station Wagon, Alucab looks good on top too!

    That looks like a very tidy 110.

    Pretty Defender!
    Looks like new.👌
    If it was mine I think I would find a place to store that original roof.
    You never know what the future holds and you may decide to swap it back.
    Alucab looks good though.👍

    Nice job. Mike, can a Classic Range Rover take a 200-300tdi along with the ZF auto box?

    • @BritannicaRestorations
      @BritannicaRestorations  5 дней назад +1

      You can fit a disco 300Tdi and auto box combo (not a V8 auto box!) - but the 300Tdi has not enough power to pull a heavy lump of Range Rover, in my opinion.
      Been there, done that - never again!

    What is the alucab for ? Ventilation ?

    • @greebo7857
      @greebo7857 5 дней назад +1

      It's a pop top camper. Hinged at one end. Good bit of kit, puts the bed up at roof level so the inside can be set up for camping or left as it is. Popular in Africa and here in Oz.
