Would you bother?

Hi All,

Would you bother even attempting to rescue a Series Landy that looked like this?...

(see attached images)

looks a nice project, if you've got the time space money and patience to do it properly

plenty of projects like that get started and end up being sold in parts when they've realized it's a far longer bigger job than expected

Can anyone tell me what Series it is from these pictures?

('scuse me for being a bit crap)

The space is the biggest problem for me to overcome right now. That and having no spare cash. Not having anywhere to put it poses a real dilemma. All the other skills are there. I'd so love to see it back on the road. It has been sat there for as long as I can remember - I've been living around here for 13 years.

registered 1960 so probably a series II - petrol and orginally green, last registered about 94

When you say last registered 94 are you talking road tax?

no point even considering it if you've not got the money or the space - maybe try finding someone who will rescue it before it's too far gone

where is it ?

Cheers for that. I didn't realise that sort of info was so readily available.

have you asked how much he'd paid you to clear the scrap vehicle outta his garden yet ?

As for considering it...it has been a consideration of mine since before I can remember. I blame me Dad!

I am a realist though and know that as it stands at the moment there ain't a cat in hells chance!

No, due to not having the facilities to keep it at. That was the main reason for getting rid of my old landy. Couldn't keep it anywhere SORN.

i wouldnt bother saving it, but thats me.Will need time, tools, space and money.Expertise would also be useful.I have very little of any of that lot!

think i'd save it giving the opportunity, the bulkhead is shot and the door tops arent orginal but the rest of it looks to be as god intended

you can't see the ground through the floor which is allways a good start

I always get the feeling from looking at it that it spent a lot of time with the lid off and screen down. I think he may have shoved those door tops on to protect the interior from too much weather damage.

go ask him how much he wants for it - if the price is right someone on here might be interested in it

rear tub looks good and chassis might be sound.Good building blocks to start with but if you aint got any wahere to put it/work on it int it been decided for you?Be a great toy once its rolling.

I'll give him a shout next time I'm over that way, or else shove a note on the window.
