Thanks Steve. The biggest problem with the galvanised rebuild route seems to be finding one for sale. No doubt if someone does it, they intend to hang on to it.
Thanks Nigel.
Does anyone know if it's possible to have a new one built with a galvanised chassis and bulkhead from the factory as a special order? I'll ask LR directly next week, but I just wondered if anyone was able to tell me today.
If you've never bought a new car in your life then now is the time to do it.
Call it a treat; you've worked for it!!
It sounds to me as if you really want that new Landy which you will treasure and make yours.
Sod the commen sense approach for once in your life and visit the dealer tomorrow.
they are about, couple on fleabay (not sure if exactly what you want)Thanks Steve. The biggest problem with the galvanised rebuild route seems to be finding one for sale. No doubt if someone does it, they intend to hang on to it.
Really drive out the forecourt and lose 2 grand wake up !
who keeps a motor 30 years us humans get boared easy, or worry the smoke is the end .bought brand new once but that was only because it was tax free.
my dad would never buy a 2nd hand car, was always new )says you buy other peoples problems, but he could afford to buy new and loose whatever on it every two years.
all dealers will have used demonstrators with very little mileage on and will only have been used for short journies hoping to sell a new one, they will also be connected to probably every main dealer in the country and will know what stock they hold which may be worth while asking them.
going back to buying brand new, if your going to keep it for 30 years then i say jump at a new one if its for your birthday as it dont matter if it depreciates or not, but you may not get the exact one you want.
i know we get bored but when i was looking for mine there were a few 1 or 2 owner cars about, plus they get stuck in a barn for some lucky barstwered to find 40 years later lolwho keeps a motor 30 years us humans get boared easy, or worry the smoke is the end .
