Other It followed me home!

Went to look and this might just have come home with me!!

Will be appearing on another forum as well now. Hopefully not to be thrown off this one!!!
Steep learning curve but very interesting so far.

That looks very original Andy, which is the only way I'd consider something like that.

Nice!

Lovely!

Looks like someone's given that some TLC.

That looks great. Careful on the other side.

Very nice too, local?

Have had some very complementary and helpful responses, even with the G4 front wing in the photo !

Drove it back about 70 miles from near Frome to home on Thursday night. Not really a vehicle that is at home on the M5, but on local roads it is the business, even if I do need a couple of acres to turn a circle !!!
Just downloaded manual and looking at checking diesel distributor pump, goes fine but maybe a bit low on power, maybe it is just the very low gearing, seems a simple job to fit an overdrive or replace final drive gears.
Sorted out a few electricals today, mostly bad connections.
Steering box adjustment tomorrow, little bit vague. All joints are new. Play seems to be in box.
It's a smile a mile !

It's so pretty! Can we keep it? Canwecanwecanwepleeeeease???
Have you watched any of Geoffrey Croker's videos on restoring his Landy?

Oh, OK then. As long as you help me clean it and look after it!!
For further info on this vehicle and the ongoing journey, please see post in the Series forum.

Enough corruption of the Freelander forum I think!!
Thanks for all the interest so far

Looks like a cherished example, enjoy

Same thing happened to me last week. Although yours does seem a bit more shiny.

You know when paintwork or similar is described as "distressed?" That one looks positively terrified, Wonk.
It should scrub up quite nicely.

I prefer the term "pre-weathered".

I don't want to scrub too hard, once the rust falls off I don't know what will be left!

Oil, of course! It's one of Solihull's finest.

Nowt wrong with buying an early Freelander development vehicle.
