Hi Zen, thanks for the link, yes the dash is almost identical, guages are in slightly different arrangement, and the instruments are in a Range Rover Binnacle, although the binnacle is covered in leather, and it is a later type than the original. I have not been able to get more photos yet, but...

Hi guys, Not really looked at the car today, picked my mum up from the airport as she is staying with us for a week. I don't know for certain yet, but it looks like the car had a lot of money spent on it in the 80's. It looks like a wood and pickett rip off, either DIY or professional, but as...

Thanks for all the further comments, I thhink I will not going for a back to original restoration, just a general tidy up!, I did a check of the ending yesterday so I could get some service bits, its the original engine (engine number is same as chassis number), but with Edelbrock carb and...

this is the only one I have taken so far, will try ad get some more,

Thanks will do!

hi, thank you both for your comments, yes just being looking at the pics, I think my "special" dash may have been put in in the 80's as the instrument binnacle is the more recent one. The bottom half of my dash is just like the LHD one in the photos you posted (albeit covered in leather), but...

brilliant news, I'll do some searching and see what I can come up with. Thanks.

Hi thanks for the reply and the advice, will definitely get a copy of the book. Am very surprised about the dash being interchangeable, are you saying you can get a RHD dash and move the instrument binnacle and steering column shroud etc. over to the other side? Or have I completely...

Well - if anyone is interested after all this time! moved to France and acquired a RR classic 2dr 1974 more by accident than design! funny how long it sometimes takes to get from the decision to do something to actually doing it!

Hi, I'm fairly new to this have just acquired a 1974 2dr RR which is actually in quite nice condition, but is a bit like a licourice allsort. I dont know too much about the RR, or Landrovers in general. but I have a 1974 carte grise (french log book), the body looks right for this year, the...

Thanks to everyone for there advice, I'm going to research early 90's 110's and RRC's and see what I think, will let you know. Once again, thanks for your help.

Thanks boydy1989, am on that now, but as you say, its not the pulling it's the stopping - Any decent upgrades for the S111 - didn't take me long to get back to that did it? - presumably if money was no object (which of course it is) I could transplant much of a 300 defender into an S111? Dont...

My how I would laugh (or not) on the way to the mortuary - probably get the number one spot on you tube though!

Thanks Chip V8 and Sean, will look at the Classic Range Rover and 300 Defender. I could to 10 tonnes down shap with the Spider!

Thnks Sean, just seen your response, that rules that out then, I was told they were rated to 3500kg.

Many thanks for the reply, and good advice I know, my head is saying yep thats what I should do - but my heart is saying no don't do that you want an old series 111 - (I keep an old alfa going, that believe me is no fun at all, but any time I get near a car showroom I just have to turn and walk...

Hi, I'm new to this forum, and do not yet own a Land Rover, I have been looking at what to go for, any advice would be greatly appreciated... I have about £5,000 to spend, and want a model that will tow about 2500kg (including trailer) nicely up hills without any trouble, only off road will...
