Nice Landies. I like the HiCap, that would be perfect for me. Bulkhead corner looks like it's got a nasty case of tin worm!

My 90's from Sep 1984, with AA chassis prefix.
She has a few mods however, most recently a 200 Tdi Disco lump, necessitated by the need to tow a caravan.

My Uncles, although I drive this one quite a bit.
C reg (84 ??) 3.5 V8 with twin Stromberg carbs. Still on original chassis, inn fact it only had it's first welding with a new rear cross member about 2 years ago. The engine isn't original, but it is original spec. The replacement being a rebuilt engine from a Rapier Missile transport.
He also has this B reg 2.5TD. All original, although the chassis has eventually rotted through by the main rollcage mounts, so currently has the body off.
EDIT:
Actually I think I lied. The blue 90 doesn't have the original engine either. It's got a 2.5 TD from an F reg 90, that had a 300Tdi conversion. I forget if it was originally a TD or just a NaD now. Has been a long time.

My dads got an A reg 109 CSW that is his only vehicle and uses daily and still green lanes in regularly. 200tdi disco lump in her now as the clock reads nearly 300k. He did have an old series 3 years ago that I learnt to drive in when I was about 10. That was when my love for land rovers started. Would love to find that again. reg number was CLV 84K if anybody knows anything about it.

Yea that's still there at the moment I'll get that sorted when I get my 90 bulkhead finished. I hated the 110 at first but since going to tdi power (2.25 petrol was shocking and way too thirsty) and adding power steering I like it a lot more. But I still miss how compact a 90 is, but hopefully won't be long.

130? Not the best off-roader with the turning circle of a trans-global container ship, but a great work horse!
