I learned to drive in a series 3 (Army) in 1976. I’ve owned Landys ever since I left the army in 1987, and am currently the custodian of a 1992 200Tdi. I love them, i hate them, they make me grin, they make me cry….but I’ll never be without one until I die.

Many year ago I had a Series 3 with a V8 engine fitted. Had it for eight years and went to Billing every year for off road fun, Really miss it and sorry I ever sold it but it was only used as a fun vehicle by me.Happy days.

This '73 Series 3 2.25 litre petrol remains listed in the registration database as SORNed, so still around!

Surprising.. because he can simply put it back on the road after a good clean and check up and keep the wheels rolling = it's Historic status. Maybe the chassis or firewall or engine is unserviceable.

I do see how those sun glasses helped with the traction... I also do miss my series 3.

Hardcore. When there's virtually nothing to break, and so simple to fix if anything does happen, I guess you can drive it as hard as that.

Bought a 1973 last year in amazing condition that someone was practically giving away, if you have the means to look after it etc. your best bet is to go through the owners club, there will always be one lying around that someone wants to get rid of :)

I'm a big fan of land rovers, but I don't understand why in 50 years they have never thought of putting a axle differential lock, at least on the rear a, with the central locked you always have to overcome certain obstacles with only inertia ,and that means aggressive driving, and we know how delicate the drivetrain is in our beloved Land Rovers
@ronaldrrootiii604010 ай бұрын
Well yeah cuz center-lock is just putting it into standard four-wheel-drive the way a selectable four-wheel-drive goes in. Center-lock is just four wheel drive for all wheel drive vehicles like these. Yeah I don't know why I didn't follow Jeep now Jeeps have solid axles in front and rear lockers and now Land Rover is all air suspension independent front and rear completely backward opposite of what they should be but I think that kind of fits their Heritage of always trying to be unique they just took it too far

1974 must have been one of the last years Land Rover was dominant on the European 4x4 market. Starting form 1975, the first diesel BJ40's emerged in Belgium (port of Antwerp). France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, ... soon started buying Land Cruisers instead of Land Rovers. Cheers

Tis interesting that today Land Rover do not offer a manual gearbox in its current range of vehicles!!!! The manual gearbox is a thing of the past!!! But the majority of the world first In countered a vehicle was a manual Land Rover as their first ever vehicle!!! Times have differently changed!!! Still love my suffix A manual Range Rover!!!
