Looks spot on, although a little to perfect and clean for my liking. Lol (The envoy's killing me )
Good luck with your test mate.

Hi and welcome,My three daughters all learned in my 90 TD [now 200] Two passed first time and the other on second attempt. Learn about how your Landy works and how to care for it,much on this site and in the manual [also available here] and it will stand you in good stead for a lifetime.

What a first motor! V nice
Doing my best to get my head around oil changes etc. Apparently if you can drive a landrover you can drive anything! 😊
Looks smart. Any other car will be easy to drive after a 90!
Workshop manuals and stuff are in here if you want them http://1drv.ms/1rsQohT

Hello mate - lovely looking 90! And I wish I could have had one as my first car!
And as for seats in the back - its a long contested argument. If you have a search you'll find endless conflicting explanations lol.
Check you V5, see if it states how many seats the vehicle has... You'll be limited to that less you tell VOSA or DVLA.
If you worried about legality, ring VOSA or the DVLA or something like that and I'm sure they'll tell you.
If you're not worried, grab some side facing bench seats, and chuck some lap belts in there, make sure you put spreader plates on everything though, don't wanna pull the seatbelt bolts through your aluminium tub! Wouldn't worry about a roll cage, but I'd get some sort of a roof, less prying eyes, and looks 'normal' you'll have far less questions from plod.
Oh and don't forget you'll have to tell insurance!

Thanks that's really helpful. Definitely need to make it legal! You know how the authorities are with young drivers. I will check but it probably would be until the summer that I would stick people in the back!
