A pair of Lucas 20/20 lamps, capstan winch and some 7.50 SATS were all that was needed for good times!

Excellent story - thanks for posting.

However, those aren't Firestone SAT's, they are Goodyear Hi Milers!

I remember seeing this Land Rover in Milnthorpe!

(In fact, if you look on Google Street View, it's still there).

Thanks for posting that.

Superb thread, nice history on the car and fair play for rescuing it after it had been effectively condemned! Thanks for sharing

[Landyphil]

Good point! That's where it had stood for some considerable time:

This is why i love Land Rovers, They don't get old, they get interesting !!

Fantastic story Phil, first time I've seen all that written down, I didn't realise your Car had so much history.

... and yes I can confirm the Waters Farm test in a Lotus Sunbeam (especially one deliberately set up to by tail happy!) is a bit buttock clenching.

but brilliant all the same

Great read, and an epic story of a Series III.

This pic looks interesting though, great angle..
