Thread: They are still out there

I love 2 doors.....the first Land Rover I owned was a 2 door

His wife will be the first to shed a tear if he lets it go. You should try to nab them both.
It's amazing how many variants of that Motor are getting around.

I will know more next week when he has had sometime to think about it.

Haha... The old fella's got you hook, line & sinker.

in my experience, a farmer will only sell something if it's:

a) completely trashed and only worth scrap, and is too far away from a shed to be of any use (this means it's usually not able to be moved with a dozer)

b) he can see youre besotted and he knows he can milk you for $$$$ - but of course he's going to take ages to make up his mind

c) his missus is the one doing the wheeling & dealing and sets the price, because she looked over the books and saw how much was paid originally, and thinks there's a good 10-15 years more life in it, so it hasn't truly 'depreciated'
(remember that 'depreciation' to a farmer means it is no longer serviceable and cannot be repaired)


GOOD LUCK !!!

Speaking with the son, he mentioned that he thought the old Series 2 was ex-mil. Without checking numbers it may well be a CR (Command Recon) variant.

Now I am really looking forward to our chat next week.
