Just wondering what is the best estimate for the number of LD10's on the road. Mine is fully roadworthy and I always assumed there are many more in a similar condition and in use.
I also see so many claims for high cruising speeds for this age of vehicle that I feel my 40 to 45 and the occasional burst up to 50 is far to modest. There again I dônt think I could justify the cost of an engine rebuild, my brakes are not in the same class as disks with servo assistance. Narrow cross ply tyres dônt look as if they where built for sustained speed either.
Basically I just enjoy mine and if there is a 20, 30, 40 or even 50 mph speed limit I dônt mind and its not unknown for me to pass the odd car either.

If this is what they are starting to fetch glad i have more then the one, looks like the Briggs might be making more then the Barkers.
Now let us hope the increase in price will stop them being broken for parts.

The seats in the car are not like the Briggs seats that i have in a original car, so guess the fronts might be Barker and wonder about the rear seat.

Have some cloth ones which i think was a cost cutting exercise so not those either, bit of a mystery then Darren guess others may have something to tell us about theirs.
Think the rear is recovered but the base we could not see, still a very good price and the ABBOTT has seen another price rise.
