Morning all.
I'm Archie, I'm the 14 year old son of lunatic.
We're 'in the blood' Landy people. I tend to sway towards Series motors; only diesels. But my father (the afor mentioned lunatic) likes Landies that can out run hot hatches...
His 1979 Range Rover is the treasured baby, it's the only Landy We've ever had that lives indoors But despite the regular polishing and lack of off road (ab)use It's heart is a Race tuned 3.5 V8 capable of producing 9ft long black lines and so much grunt he has out run a ford escort Cosworth...
His TD5 110 CSW has a whopping 210hp at the wheels and a P38 transfer box (we've had 115mph), not as much power as the Rangy but plenty... It's also his daily driver and the over-lander.
The final Landy in my fathers possession is a 1994 soft dash Range Rover. A beautiful truck, with many many miles. she has been our work hack, all off-roading has been done in it. she's even been used for following the hunt.
My Landies are a tad older.
The first one I bought was a 1968 ex trials IIA diesel. which I'am re-building with a Salisbury rear axle, long wheel base brakes, factory recon Engine etc. the perfect trials motor. AKA NAD
The second one I bought was a 1967 pre trials IIA diesel, can you see a pattern? AKA Ratty, sadly Ratty is no longer with us, I broke him for parts...
The third and worst Landy I bought was a 1992 Discovery 200tdi, it was ****, not even deserving of a name... now dead!
The last one I bought was a 1963 IIA 109 diesel, as an engine donor. Rusty (appropriate name) was a recovery truck but had his id sold by a PO then he sat abandoned so I'm 'borrowing' parts.
:nopics:
NAD my '68 IIA
Ratty
My disco
This is Rusty, pre strip down!
My dad's obviously are no where near as cool as mine...
Hope this forum is plenty banterful, lots of OT threads...
