Right, there is potentially an option for me to buy a Lightweight - still in the pallet it was shipped to the MOD in.

I think (mainly down to space) I would have to sell my Spitfire if i bought it.

I've had the Spitfire 2 years, I have rolled it, some how not killed myself, then spent more than I paid for it (which was a fair bit) re-building it. It was also used as our wedding car in the summer... so, a fair amount of nostalgia attached to it

Lightweight... will be getting more info in the near future, for now all i know is...

"Land Rover Lightweight LHD Diesel Ex Reserve Still in Pallet - Included in Sale"

This to me suggests it's never been used? Might be wrong i guess, but, we'll see soon.


SO Poll... is it worth selling the Spitfire and buying a light weight?

(FYI - currently have a 1964 Series and a 2008 D3 and the Spitfire, so, it would then mean i just have 3 Land Rover's)
 
I'd say keep the Spitfire .. In my limited experience, driving a Series is like driving a series .. doesn't matter if it's a lightweight or S2/S3 .. though S1's are 'special' .. ;)

(My experience being owning an S3 just before the Disco for a couple of years, driving me mates S2 regularly for many years and driving a couple of lightweights a few times)

You already have a series so doing away with something that had real nostalgia only means a probable regret later .. though mostly I prefer to regret summat I've done .. ;)

Ah, but, if I don't take the opportunity to buy the Lightweight now I might regret it later... so, i guess what I should really do, is, buy it and keep the Spitfire? :p

We already have a 1949 Series 1 in the family, so, i'm covered from that 'special' angle :D

Thing with the current series is it is a mismash, abused (but loved) lump. The lightweight would be a nice shiny for doing gentle lanes in and generally just enjoying driving...

You just answered your own question, buy the light weight:D:D
 
well the wife's home... so I suggested it to her... she said i'm not allowed to sell the Spitfire.








































But I can buy a lightweight :D :D :D :D
 
Slobbery anything you can do that has been deemed acceptable by the other half, unless you're trying to **** her off on purpose, is a bonus.

if you don't understand that your a bigger #### than i thought you were :p :D

Having been married to my dorris for 38 years, never asked her for approval of anything I've ever done or gone out and bought, she's never done the same to me. Who is the tw##, you or me. :rolleyes:
