My Land Rovers past and present

My first:

Was ex mod and a bit ratty. A special deal on JCB yellow saw it
end up as above. Terminal impending chassis rot saw it sent down
the road, but the seed was sown.
Next was the V8 88 2a

Sadly sold over a year ago.
Then there is Mrs FT's Hattie with us to stay.

A short stay Series 3 that had a new engine, lots of welding and
was sold on before it rusted away before me!

Hi Toby
always thought you would regret selling the Fenbus. Love the
300tdi in my Dormobile.
All the best
Mick

I absolutely fell in love with this one after EoD 2009! If I
ever wanted to own another Series motor besides Alfred, it would
be this one!
Diet cheese proved to be an excellent donor vehicle for the
overdrive now happily sitting in Alfred :-)

The V8 is the one I miss most. Would happily cruise at 70+ all
day long and you could still hold a conversation without
shouting. :D
Once drove it to Worthing and back in a day to help fit a tdi.
You also never get cold witha v8 up front!
The engine and fitting kit sit in my garage awaiting use on a
future project.....
Hopefully the Stagey will provide my V8 fix in the meantime. :D

Yep the V8 was a great truck. Lots of fun when Tobe kindly
loaned it to me for a few days 8) That back box gave it just
the right note.

At current rate of progress that might be a tad optimistic! I
keep looking at the 80 and trying to decide which way to rebuild
it. One idea is keep it scruffy as hell, but fit an odd motor
that has not been done before. ie. VW 1.9tdi so that it would be
very useable...
