Thank you sir

It’s a ‘79 series 3 - military look a like

Chassis and bulkhead were great. Even ran my car phone holder (magnet) over the bulkhead and pillars to make sure no filler etc On patch or crusty I could see was just behind the drivers front wheel arch liner but more from a gap in the liner and stone chips - didn’t affect foot well

He’s had it 7 years and has the V5 etc saw it today and only issue is an air leak in brake servo - pedal is rock hard - obviously unassisted...

Haha sounds like my old 88! first drive home and the truck jumped a foot to the left - front kin pin was shot and the thing had a mind of its own! My expectations are thankfully very low. I can’t mentally justify £8k on an S3 that will probably need £1k work - most likely have solid springs...

that’s very true... slightly more assuring that “MOT exempt” though - trusting another persons judgement on road worthy :D:eek:

Thanks, potential future replacements is what I wonder... let alone part supply (if worst case scenario) But it’s well priced and I’ve seen in effect scrap series go for more

Thanks chaps, this is a bargain price with new clean MOT £4500! I’m tempted to buy it as it’s local and “cheap” (compared to others I’ve seen) but the engine worries me... maybe as a stepping stone to a 2.25....

Will do!

Morning all, I’m searching for a series and there’s a lovely Norwegian ex army 2.25 109 I’m going to look at and a 2.6 109 popped up locally! I don’t know very much about the 2.6 engines, but after some Googling I only seem to read horror stories about the 2.6 - over heating, cracked heads etc...

Morning! So I’ve been loitering in the shadows for some time but I’m finally pulling my finger out in my quest for a series Landy. Prices have gone silly with Covid but there are still some realistic people out there. There’s a lovely Norwegian 2.25 109 I’m going to look at and a 2.6 109...
