Great choice Cobra  ;D.  Ours are Skip and Gus, and my 1952 Series 1 80" is Kiwi (she came from NZ).  Gus is waiting to either melt into the landscape or be done up if we get rich, but we use the other two all the time for everything.  You even get used to the wild and self-willed steering eventually  :o :D

Hooray! Another owner! I have a 1974 I'm just about to paint before putting it back together. Galvanised chassis, parabolic springs, gas shocks, galvanised bulkhead I built myself - it'll be like a new one when it's finished, only better.  :D
Enjoy owning yours, they're fab and I can't imagine a life without at least one LR product in it now! lol

Oh yes. Arguments have already started on this one. Reg is MYB so I thought Maybel or Mertal, but er in doors says why does it have to be a women? Now she has a point but its just got more confusing lol.

Wow so many landy fans  :thumbsup: Oh  :o and a series 1 :love: :love:

Him or Her, still out on this one has arrived  ;D ;D Quite bizarre as most of the street decided to have a look  :D most of them had tales of past landrovers, that says something doesn’t it.

Well Series 3, 1975 in Grey Shabby Chiq  ;) 24k warranteed and guaranteed mileage, was in a barn for some years until it was pulled out in 1988. The great thing is that its virtually all original from the factory other than two headlights and a petrol tank fitted in 2007, all paperwork a complete history. I am chuffed as old boots. My other half and daughter have spent al; afternoon either sat in it or routing round it they are totally in love and honestly that surprises me as I would not of thought she would be interested.

Hi - I use mine around the farm to take animal feed etc.  Not road worthy now but still very useful to me.  Always had landys - love 'em.  Love working on them as well.   Rich
