Cheers. The old man loves the RR and it gets a lot of comments whenever it's out and about. Though it's a bit erm .... Wallowy to drive. Bit like driving a cruise ship. And as a LWB it's turning circle is not much better than a ship's either!!

Someone randomly asked to buy it the other day, offered good money. Though it's only done 52k and before us it had one owner from new, my dad's mate! Sounds great, just heavy on the petrol for towing distance.

We've an LSE specialist breaker down here, worth remembering - a google of "classic LSE Ramsgate" should do you.
I miss my classics. Had a few incl an early tax exempt L-reg which given their value now I do regret selling !!

What is so special about the LSE though, why are they wanted?

I've never had an LSE but the classics wernt that spacious in the back so I'm assuming that's the main attraction perhaps. It's the same with my discovery (basically a RR classic chassis) for a big car not that spacious in the back seats.
The LSE breakers had about 25 of then parked up near manston airport for months and moths they've been slowly disappearing so someone is buying parts!!

I think they were the highest spec at the time, so usually had any extras available

Cheers fella, old man's worked hard! She looks good after 5 years on the mooring. Takes a lot of effort each year to revive her, but worth it.

That looks amazing. I agree that its looking almost new!
I have a big bag of cleaning stuff for this weekend, ready for the Anglesey trip.
I wanted to ask you though - How did you find it dropping her off the trailer to do the hull? I have some hull cleaner, restorer and wax as I never got round to sending her to a professional – oh and some filler for the slight knock I have and I want to do it all this weekend, but with her on the trailer it’s a right PITA.
I have two options, one is to back the trailer up onto car ramps to lift it all up a bit to make it easier to get under, or the second is to pull her off the trailer and rock her over on some tyres.

We got it done professionally this year. Depends on the weight of the boat re rolling her, any more than 5m and that's a lot if weight to be putting on tubes. We normally just get under the trailer, to do the hull ourselves.
