Hi All
So I'm about to embark on a project for my lad. He's Landy nuts for various reasons and loves going laning with me (I have a FFRR L322) but I can't decide on what to build with him.
It really comes down to a choice between a Defender 90 (probably a 200TDi) or a Series 2a. Whatever we choose would be a rebuild from the ground up which is where the dilemna comes in. I have done these full rebuilds on defenders before but I have never even driven a SIIa. Thing is though, a 2a would be tax exempt and also qualify for classic vehicle insurance, something not to be sniffed at for a new driver.
So, all advice appreciated, the pros and cons of each etc. The intention is to build one which will last him as long as he wants to keep it.
Thanks in advance
Dom
