Description
Found in a field by the Thames, it had been used for several years for launching and removing boats from the river at the Trout Inn, Lechlade. Brought home and completely stripped and rebuilt from the ground up after repairing the chasis and overhauling axels and changing differentials. Install engine and rebuilt body, slight panel change on passenger footwell to accommodate the V8 exhausts on the near side bank. New wiring harness installed with mega squirt system connected.
Recently the vehicle has been used to access the local wood to collect firewood and for general run about; it has been very reliable but it is still a Land Rover so can be a handful with the extra power but the sound is amazing.
