Hello from Oxfordshire
Posted: Fri Apr 01, 2016 11:13 pm
Evening guys. My name is Adie, I am based in Oxfordshire and already have a '79 88" diesel that I drive daily. I belong to the Series 3 and 90/110 club/forum and already know Geoff via the forum who kindly pointed me in this direction.
I have wanted a Stage 1 for some time but have been happy to watch them come and go, partly to get an idea of how often they come up and value, but also as now is just not the right time to be buying another Land Rover for various reasons. (They also always seem to be hundreds of miles away which does soften the blow of watching someone else walk off with it!)
However, when a 12 seater station wagon appears 20 minutes up the road....well....what to do?? Well you buy it, join the Stage 1 V8 forum and be extra nice to the missus for the next few years lol!!
Well its been standing a good while. It's not home yet but the rear chassis and the top of the bulkhead require work as you would expect and the usual recommissioning of a long standing vehicle. So quite a bit then!!
Will keep you all updated as things progress and will definitely be requiring assistance on some of the unique areas....and that V8!!
Here is a pic to be going along with....see what you think, does anyone know the vehicle?
