How much MOT and tax?

Posted

And its Tax exempt...

Just needs a 3.9 V8 dumped under the bonnet and a LPG conversion to get cheap fuel and piss off the green brigade in one easy go.

Looks quite a straight one is it a 2 1/4 petrol..even the bulkhead looks in quite good nick.

What sort of top speed or reasonable cruising speed can these things do? I really fancy it and don't expect miracles but I don't fancy a 29 hour journey home doing 23mph flat out or whatever.

For a good 109 diesel,

 

60-65 tops, more down hill

"Cruise" with the HGVs at 55-56 quite happily

25ish MPG

 

Assuming it isn't bo11oxed of course...

Sorry I didn't look at the old link..that's seriously cheap for a diesel..

If its a solid old beast you could make that look a great motor with some olive drab and a mini roller over a weekend

And if its not so solid you could just do the norm and nail chequered plate over the entire vehicle..

Billy, don't do it, sorry, but I'm not a fan of series LRs they're slow, draughty, noisy, uneconomical and travelling more than 10 miles in one is painful.

 

They're gr9 off road or with the correct tyres for OMGSNOKAOS, but everyday transport - no thanks.

I grew up with my parents owning series I-II's ragtop, truck cab, safari, V6, V8 & 2.25 petrol and they were all horrendous - ok maybe not the LWB safari with the V6, but that got 9-12 mpg.

 

I know there are a few owners/fans of these things, and £1k for a tax exempt road legal one is a bargain, but I wouldn't

Looks like a military chassis which means it can handle 900 tyres = cool.

 

Ignore the naysayers.

Everything skattrd says is 100% accurate but I still like em

I'd rather a SWB but I fancy one before they get stupidly over priced. It's only for a toy to go off roading in once in a while and pissing about locally.

Posted

having moved to top of hill up a seriously off roady road, I had been contemplating one. Xantia is just about coping at the moment but I think any slush will mean progress won't happen.

 

I would love one of these but can't really see it as an everyday vechicle. Shame really as this would be a big box ticked. Perhaps I need to wait until DW decides to flog his disco :D

By which mechanism did the price increase from 900 to a bag?

How much MoT is left?

 

By the reasoning that someone will come over all Mike Brewer and offer £500 anyway?

Maybe it was underpriced to begin with. Looks like a lot of LR for a grand, remember our annual 5 days of snow is coming.

Being brought up on a farm the first vehicle I ever drove was a Landy.  I wholeheartedly agree with what skattard says about them.  Probably the most uncomfortable vehicle ever.  The second one we had had overdrive and stillstruggled to go over 50mph.  We had a cab one and had buggerall legroom and generally was only marginally better than the Massey 135 to drive.

I lusted after one for ages until I got a lift in one and realised that my teenage youth was not worth recapturing.

What condition is the bulkhead in ?

Interested in a Citroen Bx Txd ?
