Not spending any money on her as yet just a spare landy for when the rangie fails as they do

samc88 · Jun 7, 2013

You say its a spare, but you'll soon be out in this more than the rangie

Yep can't wait to go convertible

including flip windscreen

Something the 90 couldn't do properly

Magneto? they're not that primitive! Mind you, the starting handle on the petrol is really useful.

samc88 · Jun 7, 2013

Is the "magneto" actually the distributor?

it's an A/C generator

Bumper wants to be bigger

Grit Valve · Jun 8, 2013

Oi leave my bumper alone !!

As far as I gather it has a magneto , thus it it powers its own spark no distributor I haven't had the chance to investigate yet I presume its had a engine change in its 30 year lifespan?

I will up date with photo I might be wrong havent looked yet.
