1975 Series III

Evenin' all, bought my beastie when I was 12, and in the seven
years since never given her a name. She's a completely standard
2.25 petrol, gone through many local owners passed down through
a couple of farming families so as a result doesn't appear to
have done a great deal of work thankfully.
Since I've owned her most of the use has been off road but
obviously with a couple of years driving under my belt now I've
been able to get her on the road and start enjoying leafing
properly. Here's a few pictures:

Recent engine removal to do the clutch and stem seals along with
a bit of a tart up, ended up putting new rings in it and getting
the head completely overhauled whilst I was at it. The sign is
made from bits of old pallet and lorry body :thumbs:

Thanks Gary, yes it is a member of the CVRT family just like a
Samson, but this is a Spartan, the armoured personnel carrier
version. All jolly good fun!

Drew's impressed (not that my tribunal represents a view of
authority).
Nice motor and a well-used shed 8)
