Must be a Land Rover thing, I’ve always fancied an old Tractor, God knows what I would do with it or where I would store it. A small holding would be ideal but in reality that isn’t going to happe ... |

That looks a nice straight old thing. The Blue suits it, looks like the RAF Blue that was used on some of the Station Wagons and LWB 107/109. Good choice of Butler rear lights rather than the original ... |

New Land Cruiser when it’s out next year, until then I’ll use my 25 year old LC which never puts a foot wrong. However I’ll still have a S1 and a 2 door RRC in the garage |

I like the look of the new Land Cruiser and if it’s anything like as reliable as my 1997 LC Colorado it would be high up the list of new car purchase’s. |

I wouldn’t say the later 2.25/2.5 petrol engines in a Series 1 was unusual in the U.K. as it was a common fitment when the old Series 1 engine was worn out. I have one in my ex Aussie 109 partly due ... |
