Hope it is a nice one, 40 years old, hmm... that would make it a Series III? I still have a nice Series I on my wish list.

I don't know about nice, but it's cheap

It's supposedly a late Series 2a, but I haven't seen it so it could be anything...

Cool, I expect you'll be making full use of that double roofed safari top up in Sanday

Hi Steve,

I'm having a 1971 GMC "Bread Delevery Truck", converted has a VR and I use it year after year for a road trip in summer vacation. Our biggest "vacation story" is in 2002... In garage parking, engine blowed... morning of my 40th birthday, with my 4 kids....

They are laughing again... 10 year later!

Best wishes for your roadtrip!

"A Land Rover is designed as a fairly uncompromising off-road workhorse for farmers, the military and construction workers. By passenger car, or even modern 4X4 standards, it will be slow, noisy, ill-handling, with an uncomfortable driving position, minimal creature comforts and heavy controls. "

Hhhmm, must be love. Hope you get back OK.

I wish you very good luck driving on the wrong side of the road is allways scary

Good luck Steve, reference the dicky starter motor, does that model have a cranking handle?

Yes, I think all 'Series' Land Rovers have provision for a starting handle; this one does, but has clearly had a replacement bumper fitted which doesn't have the hole for the handle to pass through. Anyway, the starter performed flawlessly, and I'm back. And I see you've all broken the forum while I was gone

Glad to hear that you had a trouble free trip, we thought that we would break the forum for you otherwise you will be spending to much time on that new Land Rover
