Finally got round to getting new tyres and rims from 4x4 limited. Good firm to deal with and very good service 2 days from order to delivered. BF Goodrich mud terrain and challenger steel rims and I think it looks the dogs.

Pulled a delivery van out of a local Ford today his words 'That won't pull this out on soft sand' The old 130 did it effortlessly even going backwards!

Ten mins later the recovery vehicle turned up after 4hrs of them waiting, Lovely Motor!!

Yes that does look the dogs, black wheels on a white Defender looks well cool. Nice Land Rover!

I stand to be corrected but I call that a weirdo,ie not factory made?

 

I can see Defender door mirrors...which came only after 1983....along with Defender rear eyebrows...custom car as it were.

No bonnet lines so whole front tilts up forward to open? ..based on a truck cab rear end...?

 

Only two made by the same person?...

 

Whats the reg plate date F reg?..what year is that? (we had a whole different method of reg in Ulster so forgive me for not knowing)...

 

Morris,as in Morris Minor were well out of production from when?

 

What say ye?

 

Or did I bite at the obvious?....if so OK I'm a Donkeyhead lol

That's a really nice 110....I'd love to see pics of that in another 2 or 3 years after heavy work!

 

Enjoy your new truck

1968 when I passed my test, Morris 1000 was still popular as the traveller.

I remember seeing those when I was a kid....wood used on the rear of them?

 

I believe they still make the cars and panels etc these days in India.

 

I'm old...my wife was born in 1968.....or maybe my wife's old
