Thanks. I didn't paint it this colour, in case you were wondering, it was a recovery vehicle across in Fife for most of it's life (Chas Davidson, Buckhaven)
I'll be keeping an eye out for green lane runs in the new year - and may even get the steering a bit more 'accurate' by then as well :-)
hi dalbuie i know that landrover very well , it was never used for recovery work, chick bought it around 15 years ago after getting his transit stuck on leven beach launching a speedboat, around ten years ago it had a lot of work done , if memory serves me right the engine was partially rebuilt or replaced, it had clutch etc then as well. it was used mostly to tow a speedboat between his house in leven, the garage at buckhaven and leven beach. latterly it was replaced by a forklift and newer 4x4 when he took on the bigger mastercraft as a business.
it was generally well looked after and never went in the sea. the big heater came from a leyland leopard, alexander bodied bus, it sat in the cubby box space and blew straight at the window, this was for getting in after water skiing. it was the heater from under the passenger seats that blew out at your feet in the bus
