Mind you with the weight of the hard top it may save a bit on mpg !

bit of an odd one this but i just had a wee nap during which i had a wee dream about being down a rural road middle of nowhere theres a house parked outside.. a land rover cement mixer! don't ask me to explain that one but got me thinking has there ever been such a vehicle built?

[pie eater pete]

Don't know bout a mixer Ferg but that Dunsfold collection gets featured regular in the Landy mags-some good stuff there:thumbup1:

Its pretty local to me ,Have you seen some of the vehicles for sale!

God knows how they can command or get the prices they ask for on

some of the old series vehicles i was pretty shocked they have just been

sprayed over on top of the old peeling paint and there 7gs plus....!

Ha that sounds like a place in Yorkshire I know.. I'd still like to go see it though some of those prototypes look superb.

Just got my first discovery. 1990 silver 200tdi. Anything I should look out for. Gearbox is good and had a recon head! Should I be worried about the head.

 

I know about wheel arches and boot rot. But these are good. Anything else I need to look for in it?

 

What tests do I need to do to ensure everything is good? Will be doing a comp test when I get her.

Driver's side footwell, inner wings and sills rot bad too, but repair panels are dead cheap.

 

Pretty bombproof generally mechanically - sure you'll like it

Yeah chopped in the 2a as it wasn't good for family use. So getting this tomorrow, been in them loads but never driven one, I'm sure it will be purel luxury compared to the 1965 2a with a top speed of 50. And a ride that leaves you vibrating an hour after driving.

A few of my 130 doing wot landys do... Work for a living!

Almost got the chip box finished, just the wings for the lift up lid to cut and fit somehow

I like the use of road signs to make a chipbox
