As my restoration enters it's 8th year I am delighted to announce that the wiring is in, the headlights work, the dash has been replaced and we are almost ready for MOT! 8 years ago I promised my nine year old daughter we could collect the Christmas tree in it. This year I will hopefully take my 17 year old daughter to collect the tree in it. Almost there!!

Your 9 year old daughter is old enough to drive it now! My son is 15 and I've told him he can have it to learn in, if he can drive it. I think I'm pretty safe.

I'm so glad it's not just me! My sixth year started in October. Mine's an 88 so technically I have less overall land rover so should be done quicker. Bet you i'm not though

As anticipated Christmas came and went but still no independent movement of the Series 3 variety.
However, the replacement front end loom has just arrived from Scotland so we are getting back on track again. This vehicle doesn't need a heater, it just needs a little grate at the front for me to burn money in - it will keep us warm for years!!!

Don't leave it too long, Series are not the easiest thing to get in and out of. Still if its a LWB you can get a mobility scooter in the back...

Just a further update...........
The old girl is now road worthy, complete with full MOT (no advisories), taxed and insured.
10 years on and we can collect the tree. Unfortunately my daughter may be at university so will miss out on the event. Such poor parenting!
