Passed close to this whilst quoting during the week and had a look, seemed ok to me, solid chassis a few bumps n scrapes etc but generally appeared to be pretty good. The winch worked and the tipping body was a good build also. However i have never owned A land rover before and would Beverly appreciative if a few of the resident land rover Enthusiasts could cast an eye over the pictures and description and give me their thoughts on it.

I was quite sure about the purchase, until I went through the mot history and noticed the shockingly low milage of 126000 is not so, a few years back it dropped 100k between MOTs however this revelation just puts into a more fitting mileage for its age, bearing that in mind and the smattering of new parts (shocks) etc. would you guys take it or leave it? Box felt pretty good and the seats etc don't really show the miles it's done. I am relatively experienced in buying used kit and motors but the extra 109k miles has cast a shadow of doubt over the whole thing

 

Thanks, Bill

Only one that I can see is in Worcester? Looks like a nice piece of kit-take a screwdriver or a hammer to the chassis...

Just got back home from a flood rescue,looks a nice motor,but unfortunately its now sold,the one thing that I couldn't make out was if its a propper 3.5 tonner,couldnt see any helper springs.

Good luck in your search,bes way is to get a landy nut to get hands on with potential purchase:001_smile:
