Caveat Emptor

Might be an idea for a meet for those in the Midlands............

101 would be perfect.....in fact, gets the Ambulance variant, and you could even consummate the marriage in the back.........

33 and on my 3rd landy but first disco!

Yep, they`re fine. And yes, I know its really a RangeRover - used to own one!

Yeah, easy enough I reckon. Even though it was abit of a snap purchase, I was after something that was as easy to fix as a 90 but not got the complicated electrical whatchamacallits of the RangeRover. It`s been looked after by the previous owner though, so hopefully nothing much will go...

It`s only a few days old, I don`t want to kill it just yet :)

Hi Folks, Well, I guess working surrounded by so much Solihull Birmabright, It was bound to happen! With 6 months T+T, a fair buy for £1500 Bit of a snap purchase, but I`ll be needing something to lug gear around in the next few months - plus I felt like buying myself a...

But werent the Santana landys supplied in CKD form? Or where they wholly built in spain? Therefore you`d still have to go to the trouble of building that bulkhead. I actually thought the swiss landy in the pic looked like it had something like the bottom half of a LWT bulkhead on it. Years...

I know some of the guys from Dunsfold, worked with them a few years back but I fell out of the LandRover fraternity alas. Do you have any pics? Ive tried searching but nothing seems to come to mind.

It looks like its on a P plate but no more pics sorry. Annoying I know. At first I thought it was a LandRover special vehicles job.

Nah, its not a Santana - the only spanish ones ive seen look pretty much the same as "normal" ones. Except those stretch LWT ones. They must have made quite a few of these Swiss ones though, why go to all the trouble of making that odd bulkhead jus for a couple of motors? Could understand...

It looks like a standard 90 roof to me (if one would fit - never tried it), but really all ive got to go on is this pic. Ive tried scouring the web, but nothing has come to light yet. Tom.

Hi Folks, This is an ex-swiss post-office vehicle. We`re talking about this over on the Austin-Rover forum, but we dont know too much about these SIII`s. Im thinking they were part of a special order seeing as how it has a different bulkhead, hard-top and windscreen. Do you guys know...

Took my `92 V8 auto off-road a few time, not noticed anything untowards like that happening. But it does seem odd with an auto......

Little bit more.... STILL got the Rangie :) still runs, still goes, only not MOT`d yet :) Working at Land-Rover solihull on the Defender line for the time being, though used to work for MVS Ltd and Leavesley International a few years ago. Built my SIII up from bits and pieces then sold it...

My 1980 SIII had the older straight slidey-glass ones. And yes, they rusted like no-ones business! The early 90/110s ive seen had both types fitted, then again, so did alot of the Series Vehicles I've seen. I guess it came down to what parts they had in stock to fit the vehicle.

I reckoned that about 3/4 of the LWB ones that passed thru our hands were 12v. LWT`s probably about half. All of the 101`s and series/101 ambulances were 12v. Were you in the mob then Slob?

My old SIII LWB 12V was ex-MoD and I`m sure the springs had an extra 2" on civvy ones. Although...I didn`t see many of them when I worked in the trade (MVS ltd 1999-2003) as they`d mostly been sold by the time I started there. I think the SII`s were mostly cast in favour of the LWT.

Ok, it`ll bite. Mind you, does hector? If it`s the goat, I`ve already got a lawnmower :) Started work at Land-Rover this week, dunno how long i`m gonna be there though, i`ve been doing alot of stock-taking so far.....
