I collected this today:

It will be a bit of a slow burner, but a rebuild thread will appear here at some point. I'm hoping it will get done alongside building a Toylander for the Granddaughter.

There are 2 kinds of people in this world.

Those who like Land Rovers, and those who are wrong

Ah, that belongs to my next door neighbour and it needs a chassis. It's needed a chassis for the last 5 years but he just doesn't seem to want to commit to it. It could be a half decent machine if he got on with it.

Don't know, I can ask.

FWIW, I had to move it this morning so I could get mine in and after charging the battery over night, it fired up, first turn of the key. First time in nearly 3 years!

Where in the country are you?

they did a landrover on Bangers and Cash Restoring Classics, that one was a money pit.

Bangers & Cash: Restoring Classics, Series 3, Episode 6 - Bangers & Cash: Restoring Classics | Watch on U

The team lift the shutters on their biggest restoration to date - a Series 1 Land Rover.

Yes, I think that was the one they spent the most on. Around £50k? They always spend too much but that was way, way more than made sense. New series starts soon I think.

What's the appeal with old Land Rovers? I understand the practicality appeal but they can't be nice to drive?

Series motors now coming back down to (almost) sensible money good find
