I recently joined the club. I have a 1983 SWB Diesel 88. While I have 5 cars in various conditions the 88 is my favourite.
It is going through stages of major maintenance to get it ready for next years use.

Welcome along bolideuk! Good luck with your new purchase. Sounds good! 5 bearing diesel too!
What configuration is your body? Hardtop/truckcab/softop? Colour?
Post some pics up if you can!!

Welcome bolideuk.
We're here to help and remember, no question on this forum is ever a silly one. Ask away.
You're not too far from Stage 1 Geoff2
Nice pork pies in Melton Mowbray.

Hi Jeff,
Welcome to the club and forum!
As mentioned, don’t be afraid to ask questions and don’t forget to post some pics of the Landy.

If it’s Land Rovers, one can never have too many!

Perhaps when the government come to take our cars away they'll be satisfied with four and believe you when you say that's the lot and look no further No, you can never have too much of a good thing.
