Outside Series

Guess some will have strong feelings on this!

How many of you keep your Series LR's outside, all yr round.
Just thinking in all the rain and crap we've had today, mines left outside all yr round rain or shine.

Cant think of many other 35-50yr old cars that still survive.

Any thoughts on keeping a Series outside? Water in those electrics dont sound gd, but its always another job on those boring weekends!

all of mine do, if they can't cope with a drop of rain now and again they'll not be much good fer using em as they were intended to be used

i cant think of a domestic garrage big enough to contain a 109"

i usually keep mine outside, they only get in the shed of repairs!


........maybe that why they'r always breakin down, so they get into the warm shed! bastards!

We Have 3 Cars And They All Stay Outside All Year Round, I Think Its Only Saddo's That Actually Put Their Cars In The Garage Over Night, But Then Im Self Opinionated

Thats why they have holes in the floor.

But if your worried about the elecy bits why not fit a bat isolator and or remove the bat?

Yes my 45 year old landy stays out side all year round.

Yh, Batt Iso is going on next yr in the rebuild, well when the weather gets good enough!

This looks quick and easy;

I bury mine in the garden then dig it up again in the spring ;-)

When I got gertrude earlier this year (1965 2a) she had been stood, neglected, with her backside in a hedge since 1989, outside, and the only thing that seems to have gone rusty in one of the door tops and part of the bulkhead. And when she was bought home she started fine (with a new fuel pump and battery). And now she stands outside our house (cared for now of course) along with 3 modern land rovers.

????? Wot! You got a three wheel landy?????????

Yeh I'm practicing for when the wheels come off...!

We recently moved up here to north norfolk and our new place had an attached garage, great I thought, I'll get our 1963 VW splitscreen camper in the dry (its from Arizona and has only been exposed to our fine british weather for 2.5 years and it aint doing the seams much good) but alas, I brought too much ****e from our old house with me and the garage has been chocka since we moved.
Got our 72 landy a few months back and that sits out front aswell too...mind you our vw has a cover on it and my thoughts are that if the landy cant handle being outside all year then I might aswell get shot. Its a working vehicle not a concourse. Ok the drivers wheel well is like one of them footbaths in the swimming pools but I get water ingress in our 2001 td5 disco too (another job I keep putting of out of fear)
Surely anyone who's got a landy should have all confidence that it'll be ok outside unless its stripped right down.
Worse thing though is that she wants to convert the garage to another room now so unless I get one of them wooden jobbies, I'm pretty well fooked
