Hi Chubbster,

unfortunately those dates are right before some fairly hefty exams. also, whilst i study here in Bristol my home is in south cheshire, so,depending on other commitments, I may well be at Astell park this august for the steam rally, i was there last year and there seemed to be a sizeable military contingent of rather tasty hardware :-D

looking at the pictures, previously i would have said you are mad, sir! however, having since seen the Dennis truck thread I have been left in awe of what can be done, so god speed and I cant wait to see the finished result! :-)

Series land rovers are reliable, just carry spare points and condenser!

well chubbster, mine's only broken down once in 3 years and that was when the 28 year old clutch cylinder blew a seal.. so yep, al long as they are well maintained they are pretty reliable!

i see from your sig that yours is one of the very last Series 3's made

this is mine, a 1982 CSW (ex-demo press test car):

A Dodge is easier to drive, cheaper to run, and a lot more reliable than a Series Land Rover.

can a 19 year old get insured on it as a main daily drive for less than 700 quid?

Hi everyone, Matt here

I'm a student doing Aero Engineering at Bristol Uni, and I'm into all sorts of classic land and air machinery - but have recently become especially interested in ex-military hardware. This might have something to do with befriending Lewis Garner....

Anyway, although I don't as of yet own anything military myself (I already have a classic Land Rover and this tests my patience, my parents' patience and my bank account enough!!!), I'd love to one day get involved!
