Hello
After a lifetime of wanting one I now own my first Landy. It’s a very early series 3 88, fitted with a V8 from a defender. It hasn’t quite sunk in yet so all I’ve done really is take it for a spin and look at it quite a lot. It wee’d water on the way home but a new radiator cap sorted that thankfully. I’ve loads of questions and I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. I’ve owned a lot of old motors and do 90% myself of the work myself, but this has made me feel like a beginner again!
Chassis and bulkhead are good. Brakes are frightening in a bad way, but that’s drums for you. Engine pulls well but revs high on tick over. Looking to know where to buy spares and where to avoid. I live in Brentford in West London.
That’s it for now!
