Thanks, He loves going for his runs around the place.

Very nice car, story and video. The previous owner was good with this car until the end, when he decided to find someone to keep on the good work. It must have been a relief for him to find the proper candidate.

Thanks. Yeah he was very happy that it went to someone local who was going to cherish it just the way he did.

That's one way of taking the dog for a walk! Great vehicle, I had a 109 2.6 safari for a short while in the uk. I got rid as it drunk fuel, but it was a looker!! Enjoy!

Yeah he loves going for land rover walks on the farm. I almost bought a s2a 2.6 S/W many years ago. Geez they look good. I have a forward control with a 2.6, I would hate to think of the fuel economy of it so I think I just won't lol.

Great intro to a Stage 1... i just bought one...

thinking of getting one similar [1982 ]what is the gearing like in those stage 1, ie is it any higher than the earlier stage 3 or does it really need an overdrive for highway ? :-) thanks

Fantastic find. Same year as mine.

Great share !

Thanks. Wasn't after one but couldn't knock it back. The previous owner was happy it was going locally to a land rover family.

Nice rig and in very nice condition. Keep up the great videos.

The 110 went to the split rear seat in 1987. Before that they were the same as yours.

In Australia we got a choice between the Rover/Buick 3.5 V8 and the Isuzu 4BD1 - the latter is an outstandingly reliable and torquey engine.

It is a different gearbox. Still 4 speed. It is very similar to a Perentie. I don't feel the need for an overdrive.
