Pre-1975 Land Rover

[si_guru]

Looking for a pre-1975 Land Rover.

I'm not to worried about exactly which model; I'll consider all models from the centre steer to a 101, and anything in between. But..

..it must be superb condition and preferably original, or at most have sensible modifications.

To those who have newer vehicles for sale - sorry guys it must be pre-1975. I looked at the options regarding exporting a newer vehicle but I can't get around them.

Cash waiting.

Just make sure it has the correct springs ;) - as an early Rangie falls into your requirements :eek:

I know.... ;)


But Mrs Si_Guru says she wants a "proper shaped" Land Rover... so I'd have to battle hard for her to let me have a Velar!

Also I should have said it cannot be a Lightweight (already owned the best one available) or in fact anything that looks "mega" military. So I won't be buying that Pink Panther that Craddock's have.

it heading abroad then?

[swag298]

1975?
Where's it going to? US would make it pre-1980, or have they now frozen the import age?

It is young man.

It's heading to Ireland mate. To be classed as a Histotic car and avoid import duty it must be over 30 years old. So in fact, it coud be an early 1975 vehicle too.

I know a bloke over there that was selling a '68 Unimog 404!
pm'd his email to you.
Dunno whether it's still for sale. 4500Euro. 1968 404 Radio bodied (Camper conversion) with canvas cab roof.
Here's a pic.

[Converse]

Galvanised chassis, immaculate bulkhead, reconditioned 5brg 2.25 diesel, overdrive and free wheelin' hubs, new exhaust, battery, alternator, brake pipes and cylinders, 9,500ilb winch, roof rack, stereo and cb - needs a paint job and rear door.

I don't have any space to work on a Land Rover where Ilive... so for now I'm looking for a vehicle that is ready to go... i.e. finished restoration.

Has sitting behind the wheel of a couple of Series Landies, including Gordon, last weekend really got you fired up now Steve:o

cheers, Tim

[si_guru]

It has mate.... I really liked that Series 1 motor. A couple of hundred quid on cosmetics would have it looking awesome.

[adafish]

THIS COULD BE FOR SALE......I'LL HAVE A WORD WITH OUR KID.....DOMFISH....ITS A GOOD UN......AND IT WAS REBUILT ABOUT 3YR AGO.......NOT BY US, WE BROUGHT IT AS A NON-RUNNER, AND NOW IT IS.....A RUNNER THAT IS,

Both me and Ali noticed your eyes light up when confronted with a Series last weekend:) To my mind you never did look right in that Disco:o You know where your heart really is:)

I BELIEVE THE ONLY TIME A VIEHICEL IS TAX EXCEMPT IS IF IT WAS BUILT BEFORE 1973 IT IS NOT AN ON RUNNING THING ON A YEARLY BASIS. RALF WAS BUILT IN 1967 AND WILL BE FOR SALE AS MY BIG BRO MENTIONED!!!
SORRY TO SEE HIM GO BUT TIMES ARE HARD AND MONEY DOESN'T GROW ON TREES.!!

[adafish]

TRY TURNING THAT PICTURE ROUND............just spilt me cuppa TEA trying to find me mouth on a slant............:D :rolleyes:

[DOMFISH]

RALF IS UPFOR SALE AND NEEDING NO WORK HAS LONG MOT AND ENDLESS TAX!! I'LL GET MY BROTHER TO PUT SOME MORE PICS ON IF YOU WANT, AS HE IS USING IT WHILE WE FINISH HIS SERIES111 ???

[si_guru]

That is correct.... for the UK.

I want to eventually take it somewhere else, where "historic" RFL (€42 pa) is over 30 years old.

[DOMFISH]

You wouldn't be if you weren't so bloody choosy:D

[si_guru]

I've seen a couple, but what with the holiday the timing wasn't great.

Bee said no to this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=016&item=260020978674&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1).

Not asked her about this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=018&item=280019540979&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1) or this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=010&item=200020409642&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1) yet...


...plus there's a couple in Autotrader too.

No chance of this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=018&item=280020826532&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1). "Where's the f***ing windows?"

[Big Sandy]

Nice. Go on....you know you want to!

At that price though, I'd be afraid to drive it!

You edited didnt you? I mean the first one is nice... I like ther ambulance too. There was one for sale up here two or three weeks ago. Gone before I got chance to go and look.

[si_guru]

Still looking...

Anybody know this vehicle (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=020&item=300030835871&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1)??

Or this one (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=002&item=120035150227&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1)?

I wouldn't mind this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=016&item=260032792565&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1)... given a few quid and a bit of space/time to restore it.

[shadyadie]

check the first one for a sign of it having a horse on the front :) (like the rolls thing not a real horse)

[shadyadie]

sorry steve looks like the thread slayer struck again :(
