Yes I (well my wife and I) are now the proud owners of a Series three of questionable vintage. Apparently a base vehicle at a Nuclear Power plant for most of its life, following a stint as the boat launcher for a Dive club in the North East I recently purchased Beryl (wife's choice) to launch my boat from my friends farm which runs down to the sea.



Two years in the barren wilderness of non-Landrover ownership are beginning to melt into the background and I feel able to hold my head high once again in your company.

Cool!

Welcome to the club, and I guess you have an excuse for the lights glowing dim... all the time.... even when they arn't switched on ;-) Does it come with a Guiger (sp?) counter and sonar :-) I think it's the first Nuclear submarine landrover we've had in these here parts.

"and I feel able to hold my head high once again in your company. " Just the one head is it?

No problems with keeping warm or being seen in the dark then ;-)

If it does, I guess then he can find it in the shopping mall car park after hours.

Congrats on the truck, but the natives tend to get annoyed by people posting in HTML, I thought I'd point that out politely before one of the more grumpy ones moans about it ;-)

And if you ever want to buy a Defender 110 with an upgraded intercooler in a 300TDi, let me know, mine's up for sale!

Dom (at the unofficial) was telling me about some mine somewhere in which there's a series III (or might've been a II) which has never seen daylight since it was new - bought new, delivered, lowered down the mine and been there ever since. Apparently it's destined to stay there when it's finally retired, too...

Ah the underground landrover movement. ;-)
