I was having a pint recently with a very old friend who has been working on classics for 50 years. He's of the opinion that positive earth vehicles rust faster than negative earthed ones. Any ideas on this??

Hi everyone. So I'm trying to buy my first landy series 3. I've been offered a 75 which looks ok but I'm apprehensive about the chassis as there appears to be quite a bit of rust. I'm told it's just surface and not a problem. What does everyone...

Hard top likely to have more vibration noise inside if no roof lining. Can be more wind noise with canvas depending on fit. Neither will be all that quiet inside at speed if standard as there is little sound deadening but both a whole lot better...

Not sure this will work to be honest. I currently drive a Series 3 88" and have had two others previously and not one of them has had the same rattles, clunks, knocks and whines as another. Unless you have driven a completely restored, factory...

The door has now been sold, only the sides and roof available. £75 if roof and sides bought together.

Might be a support for winch?

Quite a popular mod at one time for RTV 4x4 trials as a mounting point for a solid front tow point for recovery. Had one on mine.

Both of those would make sense. It has heavy recovery eyes bolted through it and the "apron" between the grille and the front bumper was missing when I bought the landy so it probably had a winch fitted at some point.

Has anyone come across a Series 3 chassis with an extra front crossmember before? I have just tried to turn the engine with a crank handle but directly behind the front bumper is a solid 2" box section crossmember that is stopping me from passing...
