i was gona go for a landy was after a series 3 truck cab 2.25 diesel and wanted to modd it abit with a 300tdi lump, bf goodrich muds, snorkel, either hydralic or transmission powered winch, expedition roof rack, lots of spotlights and a rooftent all the modds i could posiably squieezzzzzzzzzzzze onto it! however after lots of searching around the cheapest insurance quote i got was 3,500 a year for the base vehicle before i have even touched it!!!!!!!!!!!!! mind you i am only just 17! so with that kind of out of the question i opted for the mini at only 1,500 a year!!!!!!!!!!! and i have every entention of buying a landy after a few years no claims hopefully! this time i want a 110 or maybe a 130 hi capacity pick up with a crane so i can put the mini on the back!!!!!

Hehe! I love Landies, I love them all. Look, I got a bigger one! Ex-army so if I scratch it it doesn't matter, 9 lovingly hand applied layers of green or black paint you see! Not using it much at the min, its become my mobile shed full of the bits taken off my Mini shell.



That Samuri looks impressive by the way!

Hi

It's been a while since I posted in this topic and updated it, not much it happening with the Land Rover at the moment, except re-furbing an overdrive!

Anyway here's some progress pictures in general:





























Let the pics do the talking

[MINIMON]

death slowly hovers around the car


this engine has been out twice in two weeks and still didnt work when we thought it would and is now waiting for a distributer as it was the vaccum that was buggered and this was making the fueling funny ie when you accelerated it just sprayed fuel out the exhaust and back fired

Lovely Landy!
I don't think we need another one in our family though, as we have:
Jezebel- 1968 Series IIA SWB
Mytrle- 1962 Series II, truck cab, SWB
Kevin- in the process of being rebuilt
Dora- 1964 Dormobile, LWB, also being restored atm
Bert- Series III, donor Landy to the others

Oh and Sidney the mini!

[Matrix]

cool stick at man.... I started with this









and after a bit of graft and loads of swearing...its a landy thing I ended up with a decent Series 3 like this...
