• Richards Chassis talk how it started, how it's going and where it's heading

  In this episode, LRM's Martin Domoney and Steve Miller sit down for an hour of chat with Alistair and Duncan from Richards Chassis.Whilst on a mission to collect the bulkhead for Steve's 1984 Ninety project, the boys grab the opportunity to chat to the minds behind the magic of building brand-new chassis' for Land Rovers, the mainframe – literally and figuratively – of many a Land Rover rebuild or restoration.Richards Chassis' Alistair and Duncan talk through how the business started, where it's heading now and the dos and don'ts of restoring original Series One chassis' rather than replacing them for a new unit – no matter how rotten they are.Steve manages to shoehorn in a bit of old British classic car talk, and the guys discuss how Land Rover restoration has evolved over the years, and how it's looking stronger than ever.Apologies for the audio in this episode – it was recorded in a workshop on a normal working day.
