She's back!

Having stupidly sold my 300tdi CSW on New Years Eve for a 50th Anniversary and thoroughly regretted it, I'm delighted that 4 and a half months down the road, she's now back with me!

By a real fluke, I called the chap I sold it to to see how things were going and he loved it so much that he bought a new one. He was pursuaded that two would be greedy and that I'd love to have it back, so I sold the 50th and picked up my old girl today! Today is also my first wedding anniversary and our landie took me to the church, so we're off to celebrate two great events in it tonight.

Previous owner was a real gent and made nothing of the fact that he'd tarted her up a little. Looks great and I'm one happy chap!

What a great story, well done to you and the previous owner. This is one of the reasons land rovers are special.
