• How bad is a Land Rover series III 88" as a weekend escape wagon for a family of four?
    We are half heartedly looking for a summer house, but suddenly our neighbour has offered us his very tidy 1982 landy for what seems a very good price (in Copenhagen money).
    Would need a roof rack/tent and some sort of kitchen cabinet built in. And we'd possibly want to put in a front facing rear seat instead of one of the benches.
    We don't own a car and don't need one for daily transport. Strictly weekends and holidays.

  • Do you like being warm when you drive? There will be lots of road noise, not even sure they can go over 50mph with out being shaken to bits. Don't plan on getting anywhere fast.

    Chasis rot, engine/gearbox/diffs leak oil, check the bulkhead as they rot.

    What are parts supply like locally?

    Also why not. If it doesn't work out you can always flog it on.
