Some dislike them, but I too have a very soft spot for this Land Rover Thumbs Up

One of mine is currently going thru a rebuild at the moment, should be back on the road for summer...

It's the 3rd from last built (05KD63)

It was 57KB17. I'm sure it should have had the plastic badges fitted front and rear but at the moment it has the aluminium ones. Went into service September 1983, was cast September 1993

I have to agree. I think the XZL look good on the lwt, fills the wheel arch nicely

Michelin XZL’s look good on most series as they are tall and not too wide.
I run them on my ‘58 series one.
