Alas, spec at purchase also includes:

Rusty doors and boot
Dodgy wooden brakes

Hi and welcome!

Great looking Landy! Good spec too. Make sure you invest in some decent security measures too, they’re popular with thieves.

As for the other issues, they’re commonplace with defenders. I’ve got the same!

Hello and welcome

Very nice

Thanks for the welcome

Theft threat is not good. It has various security countermeasures (not going to post exactly what security it has on a public forum). What are thought to be the best deterrents?

Also not liking the bucket front seats so much. Is there a swap area rather than a buy/sell area on here? Would like some original ones ideally in place of the Tyrex buckets.

Welcome to the forum

Vague steering and rust is part of the appeal to some owners.
