One less Landie enthusiast :-(
Unfortunately my dad passed away a few weeks back. He's to thank for my long line of landie ownership over the last xxx years!

Here we are at the start of it in the late 60's Smile

And his last trip out green laning last year, 50 odd years later....

Sincere condolences. I hope you still have that LWT. Landrovers have been all my kids know with both coming home from hospital from birth in 110s. It’s the only reason I hold onto them, Iv been warned never to sell them.

I believe I was born in the back of the 109 in the pic, but that could be a family myth Laughing

I think he was giving Steve McQueen a run for his money
Rolling with laughter

Him and his mates used to head off all over the country on their bikes, think he was 21 in this one.
