I have never heard of a civilian Land Rover being referred to as a Rover, but of course in origin Land Rovers were Rovers, and the engine in the Series III is one used in 1950s Rover saloon cars. My personal die in a ditch issue about Landies is that they should never be referred to as cars.

The barn is mega dusty so covers are on the heaps. It is pretty much full. More pics when I am in the UK over Xmas. I am still dithering about whether to ship the Landy to the Caribbean next year.

The Morini 350 has no thread of its own.

I grew up about a quarter of a mile from the Land Rover factory and used to walk past ir on the way to a large local park. My father worked in every division of British Leyland except for Jaguar and Land Rover.

I sold my SD1 and the Dolomite and two old bikes. The other shonkers are still around. The Granada belongs to a friend, and the UMM to my rockapunkabillyhippygothahipster brother.

Barn update: After two years away, I am back in the UK, and doing a barn review. I am planning to reduce housing costs by moving from the farmhouse that the barn goes with to a large cottage the other side of the barn, but keep the barn to store heaps and other stuff.

Current contents:

1. Lotus Eclat Series 2 with flat tyres. Engine smokey, rear suspension suspect.
Interior scruffy. To be sold as a project.

2. Lancia Beta 1600 Coupe. Getting a new clutch and then to be MOTed.

3. Land Rover Series 3. All fine, awaits MOT.

4. Morris Sherpa Campervan, mothballed because no music festivals this summer.

5. Moto Morini 350S, awaiting MOT.

6. Toyota MR2 Mark 1, road legal, needs new springs and dampers and a minor chassis weld.

7. UMM Alter II pickup 4x4 pick up truck, needs exhaust bracket for MOT. May sell.

8. Westwood ride on lawn mower. Will sell when I move.

9. Old piano.

10. Contents of a two bedroom London flat.

11. My ex's extensive library.

12. Spiders.

I recently tried but failed to buy an Austin Princess. I have resisted buying a Jensen Interceptor that was too cheap and a Marina 1800 GT that was too expensive. I was too slow to buy an old tractor. My daily driver is a 2009 Jaguar XK.
