Introduction

It all started when I jokingly said to a school freind whose father owns a farm "Do you have any spare Land Rovers?"

The next day my freind came and said "I talked to my dad last night and we have a Land Rover you can come and have a look at."

So the following weekend off I went to see the Land Rover and this is what it looked like!


He offered it to me for £100 and after talking to my Dad who said even if I don't get it on the road it is worth it if I enjoy it and learn from it.

The following weekend I handed over the money and it was mine. My friend towed me back to his yard(all private roads) and after extracting the broken glass from my clothes we removed the seats and presure washed the inside and out.

We filled the radiator and checked the levels, my friends dad came and got in the cab telling my friend to tow him. He was convinced it would start as it was driven in to where it was parked. To my amazement on the second attempt the engine fired with huge plumes of smoke. IT RAN and drove, kind of anyway.


these are some of the things found in the cab:
