Hey.................. if you ever get it finished it'll still be an old landy - if things like ABS are on your list then I don't think you can have much landy experience................................... And as you probably wont get it finished you'll have screwed up a fairly early S3 - which...

Nothing "common" about my 110 - in fact it's Defenders that are common!

Excellent!

I believe numbers must match documents and those numbers must match production year, so a 3.5 CSW with a 3.9 engine would be a no go - even if the log book had been updated. [Engine newer than vehicle] All I'm saying is check the rules thoroughly, check again, AND double check the vehicle as I...

Assuming that's @timmywo I trust I'll get a matchmakers fee!

You need to be very, very careful - I have no personal experience but have read articles about Defenders being impounded at the docks [USA], broken up and even Homeland Security getting involved! You need to get the EXACT import requirements from the US government. [good luck with that!] My...

Offered it to @timmywo .......................?

My lawyers, Sod Off, Playing Golf & Scarper'd will be happy to ignore your claim...............................

Don't blame us when it all goes Pete Tong.............................

Plan B sounds ambitious, and a big project, problem with big projects is they tend to become abandoned projects................................. but good luck, keep us posted.

@Lel is considering a V8 110 - if he doesn't go for it it'd be perfect for you........................ Hell I feel so badly for you I might offer you mine...........................

I'm 6'3" and find it bearable..................... long runs a bit numbing but no problem for running around - arm/shoulder room more of an issue.................................... If you really want more leg room you can go for a bulkhead removal bar - gives a bit more seat travel...

If you decide not to have it pass it on to @timmywo as it's exactly what he wants....................

No it's not that slow - and although many on here swear a low comp engine is untunable I'd disagree, mine runs a slightly hotter cam, Edelbrock/Weber 500 carb, four branch manifolds and sports exhaust. I'm happy enough with it, good enough in the mid range and 70 mph cruising...

Well that's your choice.................. mine looks crap, I like it that way, plus have a theory that the worse it looks the less likely that it'll be nicked!

I guess so - TBH I don't like to work it out, but am normally pleasantly surprised by how little I buy [but do have a 120l tank] Another thing to consider is that now diesel is the new evil it's unlikely to go down in price, possibly go up............. plus if you go into London you wont get hit...

To be honest I'm not up on values/prices as I've had mine for almost 20 years. So hopefully others will comment on value [but they're all going up] Twin SU's are fine - and no doubt original. No gas cert. not the end of the world but worth getting the price down as you might need new LPG tanks...

Yep...................... " DON'T GO TO SCOTLAND!"

I run a 110 V8 on LPG and my advice is BUY IT! MPG is still painful even on gas, but you use very little petrol, [none in summer] and 50p a litre is excellent. AND you get a V8 so you're actually counting it in GRINS per gallon................................. Which carb set up is it running or...

110 is more practical - there are LPG "assist" systems for diesels but generally seem to be a good way of melting an engine. The beauty of a Land Rover is the ease of engine conversions, so if diesel [the new poison] continues to go up in price you can just convert the 110 to V8, and therefore...
