Description

Early 1972 series 111,MOT and Tax exempt. Full nut and bolt restoration in 2010 and lovingly maintained daily there after! The brief was to build a rust proof Series 111. Galvanised chassis, bulk head and braces, radiator panel, steering box bracket, sills, tailgate hinges and rear steps. All bodywork bracketry remade in stainless steel. Stainless tailgate pins and latch's, door hinges, lamp guards, and mirrors etc. Most fasteners replaced with stainless. 2.25 petrol with top half and front rebuilt with new parts Turner performance free flow head, 2.5 cam shaft, hardened valves, rocker and timing gear etc. Stainless manifold and exhaust. Kenlowe electric fan. Powerlite starter motor. Free wheeling hubs. Fully polybushed suspension. LED brake and side lights. Goodridge stainless brake hoses and Mintex pads. Bespoke Mohair cab tilt. Rocky Mountain dual slide windows. Exmoor trim seats and cubby box. Hand throttle. Immaculate interior. Full history since restoration including some interesting provenance. No expense spared in the building of this authentic but subtly modernised and useable and fun Landy, which I've owned and loved for 16 years.
