Tax disc and notification of reg number arrived today!
Number plates ordered and fitted within about 1/2 hour!
The shake down starts here!
I chickened out at £90 of Diesel, and there was already some in, probably about 6 months worth there.
Quick it is not! I can see me doing a few lanes around here and the Peaks etc but not going too far in it, it's very low geared!
Did a green lane on it's 1st outing, selected 4WD which worked effortlessly.
At the moment we are all very pleased with it, although I need to fit the roof and doors, 4 up driving to the butty shop for dinner was a tad chilly for those in the back.

No idea! Land rovers do not interest me in the slightest.
managed to get the roof on and the rear doors fitted so It may be a little less draughty! 0

No Andrew, bang tidy!
It's ace, although a little slow!
Well, quick of the mark, crippled on fast roads, I can see the box being removed and those longer Porsche gears going in!

That's what I started looking for, but all the ones for sale at the time were owned by deluded crack smokers that had unrealistic values on their wares.
Anyway, already had one...
Would have another, if I get one at sensible money.
