Series Landy's

Well I can probably offer some insight into this, as my series 3 ragtop is my daily driver.

However, I only drive a round trip of 6 km's a day, although i'd happily drive 4 times that far. Further could be painfull.

I've only once driven a series landrover with a series engine, and that was my brothers S3 SWB before he killed it. My S3 has a holden, the engine is ok, but mismatched, i'm looking at ditching it.

The ragtop is actually very warm in winter, and it's about 2 degrees here in the mornings at the moment. My heater has been replaced with something else with a stronger fan, but it works very well, I turn it off after a while. Draughts aren't too bad, but i'm only in 60 zones. However at high speed there aren't many problems. A series 3 is defenitely the way to go if you are going to drive it regularly though.

Well the Dormobile E-Bay was sold for $5,800. Only bidder used the buy it now button so the 8 days I had to do my research has gone. Have a meeting next week to discuss my current lease and options. If I can sell the 130 for what I owe then I'm quite interested so now its looking at what is out there in
1. a county to convert to gas
2. a Series III hopefully rag top
3. a mates 80 series cruiser for a grand and a couple of grand to finnish it (Prefer a Landy) or
4. an old Rangie on gas.

If costs are to high then I just keep the 130 and plod allong.

I'm finding it harder to fund regular trips on the weekend with my current lease plan.

I would go the County or old Rangie. They are as comfortable as modern Defenders (probably more so for the Rangie), and you should be able to pick one up that has already been converted to gas.

How much are you chasing for the 130? I may be interested in a trade with a V8 Rangie with complete LPG system.
PM me if you prefer.
