I once owned a late 2a trayback,original 6 motor,1970 from memory,was original in every way,bought it for $800,drove it daily for 2 years,spent no money on it,sold it for $1800,the buyer near ripped my arm off!!!Far as I know he still drives it regularly and it has never let him down or cost him any major repairs,and he has had it for 8 years!!
Somehow some landys must have been blessed by the landy gods before leaving the factory!!!!

He nearly ripped your arm off, why :?: :?

His name wasn't Aunty Jack by any chance ?

Hi Sir Vlad
Because I bought it 5 mins before him first time around!!!,He knew all its history.One owner,well actually2,as the guy I purchased it from got it off his farther who got it brand new,the original books complete with all service stamps came with it,the books were pristine,covered in "contact" plastic or something similar.
All in all I wished I didnt part with this Landy as it was so original and straight,it even had a "smiths" tacho which was in the books as a dealer fitted option!!!
But TRAYTOP landys dont do a hell of a lot for me,1/2 that nice sollihull bodywork removed!!!!!
