Sharing some Series love
Got my 1959 Series 2 out to give the leaf springs some TLC. Realised I had not shared this one with the D2 forum as yet.
Purchased off the original owner who was a vet. 49k miles and loads of history. Has had a rear crossmember but nothing else. Footwells and bulkhead all original and mint. I love it for the way it pulls no punches. Paint rubbed ff over time, mud still on the bumper. It makes me Smile

Everyone is welcome to have a drive of my little fleet. If you are in the area pop in for a tea!

This one drives nicer than any of the 30-40 Series I have driven in the past. It feels box fresh and is still on the factory fitted clutch! Someone will have to prise the keys out of my cold lifeless fingers to buy it Whistle 1951 80" S1 2.0

Does it have the oily garage smell to it that I so miss from my 86' 110?! Maybe I can have a closer look when I come to help put that roof rack on Very Happy ===================================

It does and the fact our bedroom is above the garage means it also smells of warm EP90 after a nice long run!

I lend them out all the time, better to get used than sit rotting. If you wanna come and borrow one for a day out please feel free.

Just need a new bracket on the rack as one bolt had seized on (and it was a brand new rack in 2013) 1951 80" S1 2.0

That's lovely. Interesting to see that Land Rover were still experimenting with colour schemes in '59 - overall marine blue is unusual. Are the wheels blue as well? 2011 110 USW

Now I like a mint restored Series, but there is something about Landies like this. That is a very, very nice looking old bus mate. My old lightweight was a bit frayed around the edges but was more of a pet than a car....shame it turned savage on me

Like the high/low beam switch on the floor. That's takes me back a bit. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.
