Landrover Newby here.
I have several 4x4 trucks. ..Lada niva diesel. Jeep Cherokee turbo diesel .series 2a diesel , Mercedes 240gd.
I always liked the discoveries. So finally we looked at one , this one. My wife liked it and here it is. My main attraction was the manual.
Maybe I was a bit to eager.. starter did not work somewhat rusty under driver seat and in one rear wheel well. frame looks ok.
A push start did the trick, a bit slow to get back to idle. Brakes seemed to work.. money was handed over and the next day a friend drove me over, filled up 5 gallon gas, so as to make the 100 mile trip back home without stopping..
Nice adventure, it ran good for a 30 year old vehicle, did not overheating and did not stall.. from first to second made some noise but a double clutch took care of that. Clutch is really deep but did not slip.
Applied for antique title, to many cars to inspect .
