Hello to all you folks, quick note to introduce me and my recently acquired 1989 Land Rover 90- 2.5TD.
And yes it's slow, it's noisy, it's smokey, it leaks, it steers like a barge and has a unique aroma, but all that aside I love it!
Looking forward to a nice list of issues to resolve, and I know most of these can be sorted with the collective knowledge of this forum, so thanks in advance.

Welcome to LZ!

That looks like a rare unmolested example. Well done for finding that.

I see you have a cardboard box ready to put in the back to collect parts that fall off!

Lovely looking thing!

Some of the leaks can probably be sorted, and the smoking shouldn't be impossible to sort. The steering either is what it is, or it's a bit of a bugger to sort out. Get a thread going in the Defender section for the first job and see where you end up. One job always leads to at least one more though

Drive it sensibly and sensitively and it'll out live you
