Mine's either the Ninety, or the White Elephant. Because it's large, white-ish, and good at carrying/pulling things. No other reason at all....
Wikipedia said:
A white elephant is a possession which its owner cannot dispose of and whose cost, particularly that of maintenance, is out of proportion to its usefulness.

Did you sell Daisey to a girl called Amanda from Stockport?
Only my friend Amanda had a 200tdi 110 that was white, painted with black spots.

I can't remember - I don't think they came that far to see her, but they were nice people :) Daisy was K reg....
 
+1 for Nellie - as in Nellie the (white) elephant. Last one was Ernie, to go with our Flat Eric (Eric and Ernie), before that Bertha, and before that Snowball (the white 109).
 
Have a look at the Wiki of white elephant: "A white elephant is a possession which its owner cannot dispose of and whose cost, particularly that of maintenance, is out of proportion to its usefulness" Perfect.
 
Back in the late 1980's I was in the isle of wight for a few days with the family. Land Rover had a display of a modified 110 fitted with flotation tanks, bit like a RIB, so it could drive over water (got a photo of it somewhere). My daughter who was about 5 years old at the time said "look at that wimblowdriver, my teacher has got one of those". SInce then all landy's have been known as wimblowdrivers, thats what mine is called, and also the reason for my user name.
