Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

Not "on the road' as such, but still interesting.

I'm interested to see on the sign that it has a 2.5 diesel with 110hp! That has to be a later transplant, as the first land rovers had 50hp petrol engines, and no diesel option until the 50's. They were very sedate vehicles probably incapable of motorway speeds. By contrast, a series 1 with 110hp would be a very swift machine.

It would take a brave man (or woman ) to drive a series 1 at motorway speed's

My parents bought their first home, a bungalow in Hendon, for less than half of the cars new price.

IIRC Like many early rover engines they had F head overhead inlet and side exhaust valves-NOT A RECIPE FOR POWER!

Have been driving LRs at various times since late 1950s the last was a, then new, 1996 LWB defender.

On double-yellows in Westminster!? I thought they towed cars within hours?

It's a shame really, CLK500s must be quite rare.
