Land Rover

Update : April 2025

It's gone….. I decided I'd probably never be able to do the necessary work to get it back on the road and so, reluctantly, I've sold it.

Hopefully the new owner will get it fixed up and back into active service.

I have a Land Rover

It's a money pit and is off the road at the moment waiting for a new chassis and bulkhead. I love it, nevertheless.
