Mark Jenkins Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Following on from Les's old post of my original picture Original photo was this: I was down on a friend's farm and they had said "there is a Land Rover somewhere in that bush", which I took as a challenge! So we moved the sheep out of the way and dropped the electric fence to get a better look. Had a bit of a hack and slash to reveal Looked promising, so a bit more of a hack: Time to get in there with the strop. Wrapped the strop round the axle cos the farm is by the sea, so God knows what salt air had done to the metalwork, then backed the 90 up close: Low range 1st gear difflock, and: Out into the open and And drag it forward to give it a clean Get the girl in the photo Then make an attractive linup to finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbarton Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 So it wasn't the elusive centre-steer then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Jenkins Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 Another couple of photos of the operation Rear view of the lineup. Note the terra tyres on the rear of the 109 centre. This one had to be hauled out using the telehandler as it was too firmly wedged in the bushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Bargain - an old Q-plater is well worth having in these days of SVA got any plans for these two finds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintman Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 And if you can get the paperwork an 'H' plater is going to be FREE TAX as it was registered between 1/8/69 and 31/7/70! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Was the girl included in the sale or can we make a separate bid Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 The terra tyres seem to suit LWB landys, can they still be bought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Spot Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Yes avon terra tyres are still avaliable, I use a similar avon tyre called treadlight on my agricultural. It is worth checking with the previous owner to see if it was taxed as an agricultural machine?- free tax, no mot and able to use red diesel (for agricultural work of course ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Jenkins Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 These vehicles don't belong to me, I was just helping recover them last weekend. The second 109 was retrieved from another bush with the telehandler but I didn't get any photos of that bit. I will pass on all your thoughts to their owner, also your comments about his daughter. I am sure this large shotgun-wielding cattle farmer will be thrilled to bits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nige90 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 And if you can get the paperwork an 'H' plater is going to be FREE TAX as it was registered between 1/8/69 and 31/7/70! Best to check on that as I'm sure our wonderful government put a deadline on claiming historic status. So if it isn't registered for tax exemption already, then it never will be. They're nice like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Daughter! Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Must give Sue a ring................. Les. Greetings. I am fairly new to this high-tech world of Land Rovers, having been thoroughly baptised in fire when Mark Jenkins came to visit. It was great fun playing Land Rover rescue charity mission for the week-end and I am very much looking forward to ebaying the relevant cashable parts, with the permission of my 'large shot-gun wielding cattle farmer father' - fairly accurate description it has to be said! More 4x4 news from the farm: having attended the Royal Norfolk agricultural show, the Discovery has had to go to 4x4 hospital after an unfortunate incident involving a HUAGE cattle lorry and its (the disco's) driver's door. )-: To cut a long story short, we drove home down the A12 with the buckled door frame baler-twined shut, this made for rather a breezy 2.5hr journey! My 'large shot-gun wielding cattle farmer father' was, let us say, not amused.... Prize money this year will not be going on Champagne (or diamond white)! As for the Essex girl comments, I cannot deny their validity but they have reminded me to re-claim my white high heeled shoes and gold hoop earrings from my 'Daddy' who borrowed them last Friday for the week-end! I think my brother borrowed my suspenders too..... Any advice on what to sell and how much and who wants it would be greatly appreciated (Land Rover wise, obviously) Sue.

Les Henson Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Series parts are cheap as chips mostly. It might be worth your while assessing what it would take to get an MOT on them. Tax exempt vehicles fetch a good price nowadays. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Its a shame you are so far from sunny Wales as I have a couple of reasonable Discovery doors laying around the farm. Also copious quantities and baler twine and plenty of cattle too! Welcome to the forum BTW Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
