Its a funny thing, but I've spent the last thirteen years trying to keep my Landy totally original (the exception being a Weber carb and an overdrive), representing the first day it entered military service, the same as I always aim for with my MVs. Correct Goodyear tyres, correct 1960s rifle brackets, sticking with dynamo for charging rather than alternator, correct colour scheme, its actual unit markings, etc.
No bags, guns, or ammo cans hanging all over it.
And nobody gives it a second look!
If it was a Series 3 with aerials, roof beacons and chrome wheels it would probably have won best in show at War and Peace!
Aaaaaaaaggggggggggghhhhhhhhh
End of whinge!
