First one, not owned by me. Enjoyed for a long period which
made me catch 'the bug'...

1984 - ex-Mil. 2.25 petrol. Ratty as hell! Had no end of
problems, including one day a stub axle parting from the vehicle
whilst driving...
(you can see the dodgy passenger side wiper in this picture.
Used to throw itself off into the hedge)
Absolutely loved this Landy. It now lives near me, and is in
much better condition, with safari roof, O/D, new cylinder head,
etc.
By now I was hooked...
So I drove the ex-mil upto Northampton (to buy some tyres) and
saw this...

It was the straight six, and I loved it. Rotten as hell, but
that noise...
Spent far too much money on it, and enjoyed it for 3 years
before it destroyed the drive gears to the distributor, and
lacking the funds it was sold on...
So. Two years with a sensible car, and I've decided to go back
to a Landy! Pictures of that will follow when it gets home.

We all have our own road back to the true way my son.
You are on the right track now.
No regrets,eh? :smilewide:
