Hi, Right i've decided I want a Lightweight Landrover, I wanted to buy one in the early 90's but never did. So the question is just how rare are they now? How much would a reasonably tidy one cost? What do I need to look for? etc etc
Being 6ft7 and 20 plus stone will I actually fit in one? I used to have series 2a, but was probably some what lighter then! Has anyone near Portsmouth got one that I could sit in and see?

It will be cramped...They are not that rare, been a few decent ones on fleabay and autotrader recently. I'd say a decent one at the mo is about £2500 and up, theres some buckets about for a grand. All the normal landy probs, look for rusty chassis, bulkhead, footwells etc...I looked at a few and the wiring seemed to be FUBAR on most due to bad changes from 24 to 12Volt.

Thanks, I need to find one to try before I go any further!! Would a series 88'' have anymore room in the drivers seat? Or should I give up the idea? or lose weight!! LOL!!:D

Sitting in it playing with the steering wheel and the gear levers on the drive does not constitute driving it;)
