Land Cruiser Rust
November 29, 2024
Our 1994 Land Cruiser has quite a lot of work completed on the areas of rust that have been found. It has been in the Bridge Classic Cars paint shop with Chris as he has begun the repair work on the bonnet and wing.
He has also repaired the dents in the doors, rear quarter panel, roof, and tailgate.
Chris then rubbed the car down and treated all of the rust.
Collecting Cars – Land Rover Collection
November 29, 2024
In one of the final auctions of 2024, Collecting Cars is offering a special Land Rover Collection. The online sale will run from December 1st to December 8th and will include some of the most sought-after Land Rovers in the world.
Land Rovers In The Auction
Perhaps the main event of the sale is a 2011 Land Rover Defender SVX ‘Spectre’, seen in the James Bond films Skyfall and Spectre. If that didn’t make this Defender special enough, Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations have turned it into a “Bigfoot” off-roader with 37-inch tyres. It also comes with original documentation, including a signed Spectre plaque.
Continuing the Bond theme, a 2021 Land Rover Defender 90 V8 Bond Edition is also going up for sale. One of only 300 made, it has a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine and is definitely an attention-grabber.
A 2014 Defender 90 Works V8 70th Edition, a modern take on the classic Defender, was built to celebrate the brand’s 70th anniversary. Another nod to Land Rover’s heritage is a 2015 Defender 110 Heritage Edition. It only has 695 miles on the clock so is pretty much brand new! A bespoke 2016 Defender 110 XS, featuring over £60,000 of custom upgrades is also likely to do very well.
If classics are more your thing, a restored 1980 Land Rover Series III 88” will also be available, as will a 1983 Land Rover 101 Forward Control, a military-inspired model with its Buyer’s Premium being donated to Help for Heroes.
“The Land Rover marque has always been a firm favourite, and its enduring legacy since the Fifties ensures it remains a cornerstone of the global collector car market for both classic and modern models. Our Land Rover Collection pays tribute to this iconic brand while meeting market demand for some of the rarest and most sought-after variants. Over the past year, we’ve observed a significant rise in sales of classic Series models (Series I, II, and III) alongside limited-edition, low-volume bespoke Defenders. From the sale of a Range Rover Classic in 2019 to the introduction of this carefully curated collection, the continued popularity of our platform highlights how Collecting Cars has redefined auctions for buyers and sellers worldwide.”
Edward Lovett, Founder and CEO of Collecting Cars
Collecting Cars
Collecting Cars has something of a relationship with the Land Rover brand as, back in 2019, when the business first launched, the first car it sold was a Range Rover Classic. This adds some significance to the upcoming Land Rover Collection.

It’s Friday, which means the latest episode of Torque Show! Molly, Rob and Gordon sit down in the Classic Lounge to talk about the latest classic (and not so classic) car news that has happened this week.
With it being the end of the year, it is well and truly awards season… @TopGear have named their car of the year, the best used cars of the last 12 months have been announced, which the team can’t help but talk about, but more towards our world is the historic awards with Best Restorations by @theroyalautomobileclub9480 including a stunning 1927 @bentleymotors and a 1939 ERA GP2. And, the award given to a very special 1937 @bugatti which has remained largely untouched for nearly 80 years!
Then, we sit and celebrate our friends at the @NationalMotorMuseum winning best Museum and Collection whilst looking back at our incredible time their for the International Autojumble and the sensational 1927 Sunbeam 1000hp restoration their team are currently undertaking and the plans coming up for that project.
Also, Molly let’s you in on a very special Christmas secret….
All of this and much more in this weeks Torque Show.
