Current customer rating: (238 votes ) based onFOR THOSE WHO DONT FOLLOW ME YET. I WILL TELL YOU A BIT ABOUT ME. MY NAME IS ADAM. I AM A RETIRED CLASSIC CAR GARAGE OWNER. I NOW SPEND MY DAYS WITH MY CHILDREN. DRIVING MY LAWN MOWER TRACTOR. DRIVING MY CARS AROUND AND ATTENDING CLASSIC CAR RALLIES AND SHOWS. I ALSO DO A LITTLE BIT OF WORK WITH A CLASSIC CAR MAGAZINE WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT.
ALTHOUGH I AM RETIRED. WHEN IM AT THE SHOWS IF I SEE A BARGAIN THAT IS UP TO MY FUSSY STANDARD I BUY IT. DO ANY LITTLE FETTLING IT MAY REQUIRE AND DRIVE IT FOR A FEW WEEKS BEFORE I SELL IT TO A LUCKY NEW CUSTODIAN.
MY FAMILY ARE FARMERS AND THIS CAME FROM A FRIEND OF THE FAMILY WHO IS ALSO A FARMER. IT WAS IN HIS FAMILY FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS. IT STARTED LIFE BEING REGISTERED TO R. J. MATTHEWS THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN KNIGHTON. THEN SOLD TO MR. HARRY BURTON WHEN IT WAS 6 MONTHS OLD UNTIL HE GAVE IT TO HIS DAUGHTER EILEEN IN 1997 WHEN HE STOPPED DRIVING. IT REMAINED WITH EILEEN UNTIL TEN YEARS AGO WHEN SHE PASSED IT TO HER BROTHER COLIN WHO HAS OWNED IT TILL LAST MONTH WHEN HE MENTIONED TO MY FATHER. HIS FRIEND OF 40 YEARS THAT HE WAS SELLING IT. I RACED THERE TO BUY IT. AS I WAS WELL AWARE OF THE HISTORY OF IT.
COLIN HAS VERY KINDLY OFFERED TO WRITE ME A LETTER OF PROVENANCE TO STATE THAT THE MILEAGE IS AUTHENTIC AND THAT IT HAS BEEN KEPT IN A DRY BARN ALL OF ITS LIFE. HENCE NO ROT IN THE CHASSIS.
SINCE I BOUGHT IT I HAVE RUBBED DOWN THE CHASSIS TO THE METAL AND PAINTED IT ALL BLACK. NOT WITH UNDERSEAL BUT WITH PROPER MATT BLACK SO EVERY PART OF THE CHASSIS CAN BE INSPECTED PROPERLY. I HAVE PAINTED THE WHEELS. AND CLEANED IT PROPERLY
THE HEATER WORKS A TREAT. AND THE TYRES ARE ALL IN VERY GOOD ORDER WITH AT LEAST 10MM OF TREAD.
THIS ONE IS FITTED WITH THE VERY EXPENSIVE OPTION OF A FAIREY OVERDRIVE (5TH GEAR) WHICH WORKS SMOOTHLY AND MEANS SHE CAN CRUISE AT UP TO 70 MPH (ALMOST UNHEARD OF FOR AN OLD LANDY)
THE ENGINE HAS BEEN WELL SERVICED BY THE OWNER AND SHE STARTS ON THE BUTTON.
LAST WEEK I GOT HER A NEW MOT. THE ONLY FALIURE WAS A BLOW IN THE EXHAUST SO IN TRUE RESTORER STYLE I HAD A FULL BRAND NEW LAND ROVER APPROVED SYSTEM FITTED.
THIS ONE IS RARE ENOUGH TO HAVE BENCH SEATS IN THE REAR. SO ITS A FULL 7 SEATER.
BY THIS STAGE YOU WILL BE REALISING THAT THIS IS NOT YOUR NORMAL RUN OF THE MILL TIRED. OVER WELDED. TATTY OLD LANDY THAT SEEMS TO BE ON EBAY. THIS IS SPECIAL.
NOW I WOULD EMPLORE YOU TO VIEW THIS IF YOU ARE THINKING OF BIDDING AS ALTHOUGH IT IS LOVELY. IT DOES HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PATINA AND REMEMBER SHE IS STILL IN THE SAME PAINT AS SHE LEFT THE FACTORY IN. HAS NEVER BEEN RESTORED OR STRUCTURALLY WELDED . IN OTHER WORDS SHE IS NOT NEW. SO COME AND VIEW. I WILL PUT THE KETTLE ON .
SAYING ALL THIS I AM A REASONABLE BLOKE WHO IS WELL IN TOUCH WITH REALITY AND DONT EXPECT THIS TO MAKE STUPID MONEY
PLEASE CALL ME ON 07538100140 IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN VIEWING. I AM RETORED SO AM AROUND ALL DAY MOST DAYS. AND LIVE AT CV211HT. THATS COSFORD LANE NEAR RUGBY. JUNCTION 1 OF THE M6 OR JUNC 19 OF THE M1.
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND LISTENING TO ME WAFFLE ON.

On 02-Apr-14 at 17:30:13 BST. seller added the following information:HELLO. JUST TO MENTION FOR CLARIFICATION. ALTHOUGH THE LANDY HAS NEVER BEEN STRUCTURALLY WELDED. (CHASSIS. OUTRIGGERS ETC) THERE HAVE BEEN 2 VERY MINOR REPAIRS UNDER THE THROTTLE PEDAL. HARDLY NOTICEABLE. HOWEVER I HAVE 100% FEEDBACK AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.
