Nice truck. The wheel centers look interesting, they almost look like old-style freewheeling hubs and only seem to be on the LHS....?

what exactly do you mean?

Very nice..

Someone put the steering wheel on the wrong side though

The second picture shows prominent centre bosses to the LHS wheels similar in appearance to the freewheeling hubs that could be put on the front wheels of Series LRs (see picture) to give selectable 2WD or 4WD. Oddly in the first picture they cannot be seen on the RHS. I'm not suggesting there is anything wrong, just the angle of the shot.

Nice Landy! Very smart!

The centre wheel caps were a 90’s accessory, I haven’t seen these for a few years!

So I see. I think they suit a series Landy better than a defender.

In some areas of the UK, Landrover theft is huge, hence his post. Mostly stolen for the spare parts value.

thanks for letting me know!

Diskloc for the steering wheel.
Pedal locks.
Do a search on this forum, there's lots of advice.
