    registered in 68 but new chasis and engine. Tax Free??

    Been looking at Landys, and seen plenty of Series IIA advertised as having free road tax as pre-Jan 73, despite new ganvanised chassis, suspension and unleaded head engine work etc.... Is this legit? If not, then does the MOT tester pick this up? I want to buy a road tax free, but not want...

    Jumping Out of Gear on Over-run?

    Hi All, I am searching for my first Series III, and have seen an advertisment in which the owner admits that it jumps out of gear in Low Ratio 1st on over-run. he says not a problem as he does not use Low 1st! What is the score here? Is this likely to be a problem that will creep up the...
