Reminiscing

Just found this pic some 23yrs ago , that's my eldest son on the bonnet and he was nearly born in it. Loved it and all these years later I've just bought an old defender. I probably would still have it but family pressures at the time suggested I needed something more practical for the family and so it was sold, I remember my purchase price was 800quid , I fitted front seats from a corsa and hand painted the blue with a roller , got a decent finish too ! something about these trucks that steal your heart even though they give you a fair share of grief! only took 650 when sold !!! just can't recall the start of the reg and wonder if she's still on the road
