Last ones to be a complete direct import from Britain by Leyland.
Full house, aircon and power steering.
My dream is to keep it running.
Fitted a new Tdi engine last year.
Cost R 57 000.00 for the engine (6 Rands for 1 Dollar)
Landy had a complete respray this year. Same original silver, but I made all the add ons like wheel arches, mirrors, bull-bar, grill, ladder, etc, dove grey.
Cost R 20 000.00
Fitted 275/70/16 Dunlop Grandtrek tyres. (Cheapies as I ran out of money) Cost R 4 200.00 for 4 tyres.
Sounds system:
JVC MP3 player, with 1000 watt Calibra Amplifier, 12 Pioneer boom box, 4 x Pioneer speakers, and small tweeters in the front. Landy Rocks. Made some music for a whole Rugby field last weekend.
Cost unknown.
120 liter long range fuel tank.
Cost unknown.
Aluminum Roof rack, not shown here because Landy does not fit in the garage with roof rack on.
I want to add:
Roof top tents, and fridge. My beers get a lil hot on long trips.
Mostly wheeled in surrounding hill climbing and mud driving. Landy have been drowned three times. Last time it took a BELL TLB to get me out a swamp after I sat there for 6 hours. A Bel Grader also got me out of a muddy situation once.
My favorite playground is the Drakensberge at Van Reenen, and once took Landy on a hunting trip at Van Zylsrus in the Kalahari. Also St. Lucia when we were still allowed beach driving.
Mozambique is next on the calendar.
