Thread: My new 107, Lucky

Folks, this week I have become the proud custodian of a Series Land Rover. I don't really get into naming cars but I think Lucky is very apt, more on that later.

Not sure of the year just yet, but apparently motor, g box, and all running gear are original. The motor has been rebuilt, however looks like it still leaks oil a bit. New brakes, glass, and universals. PTO, g box, transfer, winch all looked at and reconditioned where needed. A brake booster has been added but hidden. The PTO has the pully but is not fitted.

I'll be the fourth owner. The first drove it to the train station to catch the train to work. The second used it on a farm for 20 years so it's seen a bit of service. And the third restored it to its beautiful current condition.

It was involved in the Ash Wednesday fires. The shed caught fire on the corner where the Series was parked, causing some damage to the rear of the vehicle. However the fire also burnt out a water tank stand which brought down the tank extinguishing the fire. There was no one at the property at the time.

Lastly, I don't have the time, experience, space, tools to restore an old jigger; but there are a few things that can be done to complete the resto. Look after it and one day pass it on.

So you can see the name Lucky is very suited on so many fronts. And I can tell you happy is in there as well.

What a ripper. Pork Pies, rear pto, winch, heater - some lovely extras. You're a luck guy! Do you have the canvas?
