Daveb1971 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hello from the north East of England, I own an ex South African LWB Land Rover softtop on a Q plate as it was assembled in SA from a CKD kit sometime between 1971 & 1979 ( Land Rover SA figures ) the SA Goverment do not have records for that period. It came out of service in 1986 and was driven back to the UK & registered on 01/02/1987, it has twin underslung petrol tanks fed from the front wing tops as well as the normal rear one, a fresh water tank behind the passenger seat built into the box section before the rear wheel arch and a one piece front bench seat. I am still trying to find its true year of manufacture and if all or any of these features where original or later additions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodge Deep Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Welcome Dave Sounds like an interesting truck, lets be havin' a look... As another member of our Northern chapter you will of course be excused kitchen duties for the first week and be allocated parking in the more picturesque area of the clubhouse carpark (overlooking Jacks Bonsai collection).

Snapper Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 We're getting so many northerners we're starting to get top heavy....Bit like a motorcycle display team... Interesting motor you have there Dave. Would like to see some snaps. Welcome to the Friendly Forum. Mind the gum trees. Jack's bonsai collection is, in fact, a window box full of weeds. He used to grow other plants in it, but the Dorset plod came by on their traction engine and he had to dump the stuff. It explains a lot.

As another member of our Northern chapter you will of course be excused kitchen duties for the first week and be allocated parking in the more picturesque area of the clubhouse carpark (overlooking Jacks Bonsai collection). Wellcome. Offcourse the Dutchmen have the best parkingspaces. (Especially when Bodge drove over 1 of Jack's Bonzai's). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
