Hello and welcome 
A galvanised one would look nice.
It would indeed.
Oohh, an early boingy! Is it part time 4x4 as I recall this was offered as an option.
Wasn鈥檛 that only some of the very early 110鈥檚 that had part time 4WD.
Full time 4WD on this one. Got a few bits and pieces to get it through it's MOT.
I remember a local contractor who were regular customers of Landrover purchased a brace of early 110 pickups. One of them was a part time 4x4. Interestingly, whilst visiting 'Landrover' at the time they (brothers) got to see the now abandoned 'Iceberg' V8 engine project & saw it RUNNING! An alloy V8 diesel back then could have turned Landrover around as these engines could not only have been installed in Landrovers own vehicles but also have been put in anything. Imagine an SD1 with a V8 diesel! They could have sold these engines to many manufacturers I'm sure. Like the SD1 estate that can be seen in the Haynes museum, another missed opportunity that Volvo & others capitalized on.
