Wrong side of the country, but there's this one.

Is that your orange Land Rover in the photo too?

Pity that you are so far away, that isn't a bad tray I reckon!!

do you mean that the 1958 109 series one could have had a later 2 1/4 ohv engine fitted originally?

regards Tin

No, I was referring to 1958 Series 2. I admit what I said could have been construed as saying that all 1958 109s had the new engine, but it was only the Series 2 109s. All Series 1 Landrovers had the IOE engine, either 1.6 litre for the early ones or 2.0 litre (two versions) later.

Hi Larry, company car yes. I have had 2 Disco's, D3 and D4 over 7 years, the new one doesn't come to Oz until next year, so I fancied a change. although I was totally torn, as I love the D4.
so hopefully I will get into the new D5 in a couple of years.

D Sport is good, I have the 2 ltr turbo, which is quick, they say quicker than a stock Golf GTI. It is very light, so I can believe it is.

cheers,

Tin

It looks like the righthand side has been repaired. The rear RH corner bracket in the picture is actually a reinforced front LH bracket off a S1 109. The absence of reinforced brackets at the front indicate it's a 107".As far as I know the only other difference between a 107 and 109 back is the holes for the tail lights. 107 D-lights ,109 Pork pies. Inspect it before you spend money!!

thanks for pointing this out. I was told they are both the same, not too bothered about the light difference. good for the price though.

cheers Tin
