    advice .. 50th anniversary vs built 90 V8

    agreed, you are correct. i will check thoroughly the underside and body. i never had a landy before, tomorrow i am going with the owner of the 50th to jack up the car, and check the underside, is there anything specific i should look out for or just the usual rotting please? thank you...

    mikeh501: as from 2007 the car was sitting in a private collection and did not get driven on salty roads. in fact from 2007 to date just 5k miles was recorded. should i be worried for rust you think?

    will do :) just one last question. when i drove this beast i felt almost intimidated by the driving position and the feel of it. when i drove the 50th it felt more 'normal'. does the +2 suspension make such a big difference you think? thank you

    so do you think that even though the 50th looks like in good condition it would still require a renovation later on please? -it has 50k miles. because that would point me even more towards the modified 90. thank you

    advice .. 50th anniversary vs built 90 V8

    mikeh501: the modified 90 is as good as it looked four years ago, if not better. the owner is a fanatic, he has just resprayed some panels, e.g. roll bar because they were slightly scuffed from green laning. she was always taken good care of. very good point re comparison with 50th because the...

    hi mikeh501 yes it is a galvanised chassis. i have just spoken to the owner again the engine is not an rpi engineering one, he bought loads of stuff for the engine but the engine itself came from bearmach. my fault got confused. would it still be a no brainer to buy this over the 50th please...

    hello mikeh501 the owner told me he spent very close to 20k in fact. i did not know that those parts are so expensive, i am new to the scene. dieseldo ... you sound exactly like all my mates who own landy's! they told me buy this cause it has everything you need and more.

    insurance will not be a problem. i will be using the landy maybe once a week to commute to work and just for fun. i know that a landy is built differently from normal cars/4*4 but this one was built with a v8 by a local garage, the 50th was intended to be a v8 landy from factory. would that be...
