Sorry to see your selling your landy. I think it's worth a great deal more than £3K judging by the pictures. It's a classic car from another era. You wouldn't be able to buy a 60's classic car for that. Even avoiding eBay I'd be asking a lot more.

Sorry to hear about that. I think you deserve some comfortable driving. I'm always nervous underneath the landy even with axle stands. Back in the 80's in Shetland I was tinkering around with my first landy a 71' 109. I had the rear axle up on bricks. The bricks collapsed with me just about under the wheel hub. It missed my head by inches. Ever since I've been wary. I'm 60 and hope to pass the landy onto one of my sons eventually. Good luck with the sale. There's lots of nice cars out there to choose from.:)
 
Shame this is too far for me looking to get myself my first landy does anyone know any worth while around the Shrewsbury area?

First post and I messed it up, sorry. I'm looking for my first Landy and was wondering if this was still for sale Joe.

Hi Joe,

I think I sent you a PM but not really sure if it went or I did it correctly?
Do you still have the Landy for sale? If so could I visit you and maybe buy it from you if we agree.

Best Regards
