Surprised (not really!) the seller didn't trade it in for the scrappage scam!
Thanks Roy, Sorry I missed your post. The guy had bought a brand spanking Landy defender about a week before the scheme was announced!
He also had a Bond Equipe, and a very nice Mini.....

I'm sure he discovered that the avaialble discounts on a new Landy - far exceeded any psuedo 'scrappage' allowance!

Well done that man. Same colour as mine and half the price (half the size too
).
You took your time finding a replacement - hope it pays off.

only a few years!
theres a couple of very minor faults that I've discovered (the worst of which being 1 wheel nut for a steel wheel! - different taper to the alloy ones)

Nice Metro Dan - looks in pristine condition. A steel at that price.

I'll stick with my minor myself, far more reliable.
