I <3 Land Rover.

I hate Land Rover.

In equal measure.

Great in the snow etc. Hard as nails (had mine 8 yrs would have been written off 3 times over if it were a van)

What you getting? Half mine are Series 3 (1980)

Thinking of getting a SWB series 2, just to stick in the garage and tinker with. Apparently they are like tonka trucks when it comes to maintenance, easy peasy. would you agree? plus they look tough i reckon.

So when the police get hold of your form, and do a check is it the usual ten year record they look at or do they go further back

5 years here.

Series 2

Pros- No Tax, easy to work on, excellent off road. Looks tough.

Cons- Very basic, Slow even if you fit a V8 you will tear the gearbox to shreads, upgrade the gearbox and you will need new diffs, upgrade those and its new brakes if you don't want to kill yourself.

P.S apologies for thread hijack.
