Popular Post scruff Posted May 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2017 A few weeks ago a mate of mine, who runs a small Land Rover based business from a farmyard near here, had a bloke stick his head in the door and offer a wanky old Discovery for £not much. Not really my pal's thing but it was very local so he went for a look. Anyway he happened to wander past a shed-behind-a-shed and nearly fell over when he saw the contents. I will add he is a weapons-grade Series LR pervert with a particular fancy for the 2.6 six cylinders, ex-Forces, and also is big into fire service equipment. All boxes ticked. The story goes it was one of a batch the army bought and upon demob had been farting about and doing a bit of motorsport support. The current owner had it about 15 years and not done a squat with it. A "sold as seen" deal was done without my mate even looking inside, so getting the keys today was like opening a tomb - all tools, hoses, standpipes etc are in there; bulkhead and chassis look mintola. It was literally a mile away but in a very muddy bombholed site with crap access, these things are also supa heavy, so I opted to use our tractor and trailer for this very short collection saga. I had to go and do some proper work and shoot off but will grab a few more porno shots if anyone wants them. It should be running fairly easily, might even go to a show next month - WTF he will do with it after that I'm not sure spike60, Mr Laurence, cort16 and 54 others 57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruff Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 I can report it runs a treat, just needs a new fuel pump which has gone M.I.A. Will try and get a video this week. We are going en masse to the Dunsfold Weekend - http://www.dunsfoldcollection.co.uk/land-rover-show - with some other weird and wonderfuls, it might well make it.
