SWB Landrover.... it's nearly a rover :D

Post by wylie_eyed » Thu Nov 20, 2008 12:38 pm

Ok as I am running out of room for vehicles at home I need to shift some metal before I get my Coop of Mal so first to go is my 1983 SWB S3 landrover with a 2.8V6 ford granada engine, recently refurbed starter motor, but the weber carb could do with setting up properly or replacing(choke doesn't work). Taxed till December 08, MoT till June 09. It's generally sound though no oil painting. Perfectly driveable though long distance requires ear defenders or a trailer. How does £600 sound?

I'll try adding some more pics but to be honest there isn't much to see :lol:

What does it go like with the Ford V6? Which engine did it have before (2.25l 4 cyl?).

Goes very well, i reckon if someone sorts the carb out and maybe redo the exhausts(blowing on the manifold) it'll really fly, as it is it certainly holds it own to about 50 even surprises a few... I don't really want to get rid because it is awesome fun when the weather is nice and the roof is off, but something has to go and Mrs Wylie took exception to me mentioning her car first.

Originally it was blessed with the mighty 2.25 Diesel oooooooooooo :lol: :lol:

I know a friend of mine was tempted to get an old landy for when he moves to indonesia, I'll point him towards this but I'm guessing it'll probably be too far for him to collect

I tell you what the person who buys it or introduces me to a buyer and the sale goes through will earn themselves a cornish hamper consisting of
  • Pasty's X 4
    Large tub of Clotted Cream
    Some fine Cornish ale or Cider
    Saffron Buns
    And anything else i can find edible and Cornish(roadkill excluded)
Deal?

The title says "SWB Landrover.... it's nearly a rover"

Truth is it is more of a Rover than the 800 :wink:
