I've always loved the early Landies, & spotted this lla Series model recently it was registered the year England won the World cup at Wembley. But unlike the victorious England team this one's alive, & well, & shall remain so for many years yet to come. I doubt the latest models will reach such a grand age with their steel chassis, old Lady comforts, & crazy computers. ........... There's information below if you fancy further reading .............

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
COME ON YOU GREENS, UP THE ARGYLE.....
How much you want for that classic? You can send it to me, but Tick said he will pay for it. LOL. Nice shot.

I'd rather be here, than where I'm at
If it was mine I would sell it to no one Jim. :o)
Parts are always available but these 4X4s never loose their high value, & beware they burn diesel, or petrol faster than a running tap. ;o)

A mistreated dog should try to leave a deposit on their masters best carpet, after all it's important to establish who's boss ... My gallery is here.
What a classic Phlossie. I enjoyed all the information as well. I think neither one of our countries would have been the same without these cousins. I had a toy iron jeep when I was a lad and it was my most prized possession. Oh, to have it again for my second childhood. lol. Nice memories you stirred. Have a good weekend.

Nice one of this Classic on a Hill Phil. Hope the Emergency Brakes are on. Are were you drinking again ? Diesel just hit $4 a Gallon here for the first time ever. Hope it gets good gas mileage. Me, I'm going back to where I started, HITCHHIKING.

If you think US oil prices are high EJ read on
Petrol about £1.08 per litre = £4.91/$9.73 a UK gallon
Diesel about £1.17 per litre = £5.32/$10.53 a UK gallon
That's over twice the price !! Britain's always been an expensive place to live in. :o(

Great shot Phil, and very well composed. My step dad has just replaced the chassis on his '79 landie, and is now putting it all back together!

Looks like its parked on a hill. A bit of rust on the underbody, but still looks great after all these years.

She's a rugged little beauty. Well done. I'm going to miss following these for a few days. I have several things I need to address at the observatory before I jump across the pond.

I must admit that I do have a fetish for the classic Land Rovers. Such rugged versatile vehicles and (from my perspective) uniquely British.

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."-Albert Einstein
The essential design was modified from the famous Wll American Willys Jeep but due to a severe shortage of steel an aluminium chassis was chosen. In the first year they had calculated to sell 5000 but sold 8000 with a long waiting list for many more !! The Police, Rescue services, Army, and 3rd world travellers were their unforeseen customers the rest is history.
