still a 2.0 but with some more modifications, including 7.50 16 dumpers (2 of which are still used on a mates trialer!)

this is after numerous rebuilds, its sat on 7.50 16 sats, the tyre of the day. at this time it had a 3.5 v8, hi lift cam and various mods producing 160 horses (which at the time was alot for a trialer) this was just before she was put on a set of 1100/r16 tyres (about 40"!!) and had a coil conversion on the front.

this was a trialer of Ray Kempster, it was one of the first trialers to be built on a rangerover. unfortunatly Ray died about 2 years ago in an offroading accident, RIP.

Nice pictures, thanks for posting them up.

sorry the pics arnt working that well

I can see them all.

cheers heres some more.

just to prove how good landy gearboxes are... the gearbox from my dads trialer, is the same one thats in my trialer at the moment, and has been for some years.

LOL, looks like someone found the centre of gravity in the last one.

that zuk would have been brand new?

yep, although i think some of the pics are more recent-my dad was trialing in that up untill about 1991, and may of been a bit later than that, but its before 1995.

Nice pics...............some nice hair styles too
