I've known quite a few owners of old landy's over the years and they are split between work of Satan don't touch them with someone else's knob or the greatest thing since sliced bread - so no help there. What I do know is that they are slow, noisy and uncomfortable, but you'll never be stuck at home in any weather and all your mates will be calling you up to tow them, you'll get waves from other owners and you'll be spending most weekends under the bonnet. One thing they have over the Alfa's is that the bodies will never rust.
There are several magazines (paper and online) dedicated to them and you'll find loads of helpful friendly people willing to give you advice. ttfn Richard > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tim Leslie > Sent: 13 September 2010 13:37 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [LU] Completely Non LU: Old Land Rovers > > Is anyone out there of a mechanical disposition?
