RE: M@H's Land Rover Series 2A

[Bodo]

A great piece of British motoring;
one of the most genuine cars of it class!

Alloy body, metal dash board, sliding windows and
three different styles of fully interchangeable roofs
make this car a joy for every owner!
Though, running costs are low enough to use it daily or to
make it affordable for low budget PHers. Later, when upgrading
the carpark into something sporty, it'll make a good winter vehicle
or garden stuff transporter, allowing to choose a sportscar without caring for practicability.



Nice one, M@H!

M@H,
actually 75quid was the cheapest of the three donor vehicles for that restoration;
however most of the parts came from it, and it has the 75ers spec.: tropical roof
and steel blue body color

How the Hell did you manage to buy yours for £75 though Bodo ??

Oh, and loads of German beer went into that deal

Well played

you won't buy a Series 2 (worth buying) over here for much under £1000 these days.. and at that money they're still pretty knackered..

Well, I bought it in the UK, four years ago! (Hence the value of the beer); but it was well knackered, so I had to put it together with two other Landrovers; one Hungarian and one Swiss - so it's pretty multi-cultural

Isn't a lightweight was basically the same as series 2A?

Depends: there are IIa and III Lightweights.

Actually the Lt/Wt is 75kgs heavier than the regular LR
