Still doing and honest days work

Went for a day out around rural New Zealand today, found a series 2 still working hard at the surf lifesaving center at Ocean beach, Hawkes bay. Anyone else know of any landrovers still doing and honest days work?

Looks to be a pretty tidy example too.

i was amazed to see a landy still being used like this, would of expected a Toy*** or something a little newer!. it looked tidy from a distance, get up close and the chassis firewall, well, you can imagine what the salt water would do!

like to think mine do , well its out every day towing / delivering etc for my building business, as well as my everyday transport ,

Whats the blue vehicle to the right of the picture? A mid 60's Plymouth?

looks 2 me like a pontiac gto could be wrong though

ours does an honest days work!! well part time day lol, down to the farm in the morning , gets hay bales thrown in back if needed, had a young calf in it the other week that needed moving too and we go back down the farm in it in the afternoon /evening to put the animals to bed. that was why we bought her, needed a workhorse that could take the battering that the farm track gives it and that we don't mind getting filthy dirty

now you couldnt do that in a toy***, wouldnt look "propper" as soon as it got muddy. 90TruckCab - i love the look of your neighbourhood!

cheers mate, tis quiet round ere, just out of town too, so no problems, they just have a stupid habit of parking across my drive so i cant get to work :doh:

some nice landys on ther mate, wouldnt mind a series 1 tow truck as another project !

very nice

Huddersfeild landrover center had a restored s1 tow truck there a couple of years ago... dont know if its sold now?

fully restored ??? whats that

.... i likes rusted heaps of **** that cost no less than ten grand to get on the road ! hahaha am adicted to them, nust be a lust for rust or somerthink ! fully restored motors dont really interest me , i like the work involved then the finished project yer more happy with when yer kno it inside out .

HA!, me too, cant beat a good crusty bit of rust, but this breakdown truck was better than mint, it was immaculate, http://www.landrovercentre.com/stock/image/series-1-recovery-0001.jpg

seen a few pics of that the last few years, got to admit i like it , tis exactly what a series should look like, no bull****, rough tough made for the job landrover , nothing can touch them really , thats when folk give a **** about motors, not a ****in discovery 3 or freelander, proper back to basics engineering , great power to weight ratio, i wont go back to cars now, no charictor . every days an adventure in a series, weather yer break down or it runs smoothly , still makes yer smile, no matter what the weather

you like when the gearstick falls off???

haha, not happened to me but the previous owner of mine has welded it back on , looks like it will go soon tho, first is getting ever closer to the dash when i change gear !

any one no were those winches come from i want one
