My name is Chris. I am Swedish but currently live in Spain and previous to that I lived in UK for 14 years. When I moved to Spain a I bought a HDJ80 24 valve 1997. Whilst it was in very good condition for its age, I a gradually trying to restore things to as new as possible (as a hobby and to save this great cars).
Glad to have joined the forum

Hi Chris and welcome...
Your 80 looks very good.
Where are you in Spain. I'm one of the guys that @froggy Steve meets to have trips. There are a couple of other members who live in the south, as we do.
Aside from Portugal, most of our trips have been centred on Andalusia but next March we are going to the Abarracin/Cuenca area.

Regards,

Rodger

Hi, Sorry for a late reply. I live in Costa Brava, 1 hour north of Barcelona. At some point I will make a trip down south and to Portugal but not sure when. I tend to go with the family around the pyrenees which is close to here.

For you guys living in Spain it would be good to share good part suppliers in Spain. Personally I have bought from a company run by David in Sitges (near Barcelona). Reliable, very knowledgeable and fluent in English.

Looks like I’m a bit late, but welcome aboard Chris...

That’s certainly a clean looking 80

@Chris E For parts I use Euro4x4, their international and Spanish office are situated in Lloret. For more specialist 40 parts I use megastore4x4.pt but they do parts for a range of LCs.
We did a trip to Andorra back in 2013, Smugglers Pass and several others. Maybe one day we'll go back with some of the members from down here and meet the French contingent.

Hope that helps

Regards,

Rodger
