Hello from the Northern Edge of North Yorkshire, thought I'd sign up here, no Landy as yet but plan to have one in the not too distant future, so I thought if I'm going to lurk on here I might as well sign up. I've had a series of cars and bikes over the years and am used to fiddling with things.

In the future I'll be looking towards getting some form of LWB Series 2A/3, not quite sure exactly what, but given the imminent arrival of a dog it looks like I'll be getting rid of my little Mx1 MX5, and hopefully replace it with a soft top Landy as a summer day/weekend/2nd car. May be one with a 200TDi in it, but may be not...

There's a few Landys in the family, My mum's husband has a Series 2A swb soft top, my mum has a Series 3 hard top (well her husband gave her it one Christmas...), my mum's husband also has a P38 and I think he's just got a classic RR of some description so I'm heading up to the Borders this weekend to have a look at it.

So I have a bit of a feel of what a Landy is like as a vehicle, 4wd will be handy for launching my boat (the current one I launch using my van, but the dog means I need a bigger boat, which means using a steeper slippier slipway...). Feel free to persuade me in purchasing something I don't really need whilst I go off and read lots of information on things I don't know that I need to know about yet.

I'll try and post up some photos of the family machines later...

Welcome to lz, Tim!

Welcome. Following family tradition!

Found an old pic of the Series 3 pulling my old 306 Gti up their drive one Christmas so I could drive home.

And a pic of the P38

Double post, sorry.

Love the p38!!

Although the plan was to get a Series, and I was aware of their character features/limitations but unfortunately the girlfriend wasn't. A discussion with my mum about her Series 3 and a viewing of the interior has resulted in a change of tack, so now looking at Disco 2s, probably a bit easier for the girlfriend to use.
