Arjan Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Advertised as a "Range Rover 4x4" with electric winch.... I think it is a Series II / IIA 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanco Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Well it has a certain charm! It doesn't really matter what you call it so long as nobody tries to use it Has home made look to it, but the gearbox and drum look familiar, ..... are you thinking of acquiring another project Arjan? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 The Series does have a charm and sort of is complete. However, I do not need more projects as I have 2 1/2 sitting in the garden and SWMBO made it very clear I can't have another LR Project if she can't have another horse.. 🙄 We have some serious work - both with the trains and building - and need to use that sensible. Having said that..... Another horse... 😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 That's something you don't see every day Truck looks ok though , for the right price it could be worth a horse.... Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pat_pending Posted June 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2021 There is more charm and character in that vehicle than most of the "Blinged up" Defenders currently selling for ££££££££s. Not only built in a shed... It is a shed! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I’d like an electric winch for my 80 - that would do nicely ! 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreePointFive Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Maybe my recent problems have made me see starter motors everywhere... But is it powered by a starter motor attached to a flywheel?! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallfry Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I think it looks quite period. Certainly inventive, and not much worse than SOME electric winches I have seen. All it needs is a guard over the flywheel drive, and maybe another support bearing on the outside of the drum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 Oh, there is a cover allright.. No, I am not buying this..... Really, I am NOT. Feel free to sent me £ 3000 and I'll buy it on your behalf, store it for you here in order to collect it later this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some kind of brake too? I suppose it is possible that there is one somewhere, if there is I don't see it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cackshifter Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 There seem to be some coarse teeth next to the ring gear - maybe for a pawl of some kind? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
