1980 Land Rover Series 3 ex MoD review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had a set of tyres fitted for the MoT last week and one of the inner tubes has a leaky valve. Erm that's it!
General comments?
Bought this old land rover for peanuts off a well known auction site for some fun as I am bored with driving around in standard euro boxes.
Utterly reliable and just sailed through the MoT which is not bad for a 20 year old.
Performance is 'adequate' at best, but who cares.
Handling and steering are scary.
The soft top makes it fun in summer and is also water proof when it rains.
All in all I have had my money's worth in laughs out of this car already, and the Land rover clubs are very helpful.
I love my Landrover!
