1980 Land Rover Series 3 Lightweight review from Singapore
"Cheaper and louder than a Harley! and just as impractical!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Steering Loose $50.
Handbrakes and brakes fixed $180.
Battered as a proper army truck.
Needs new tyres.
Slips out of 3rd gear.
Headlights a bit on/off.
Canvas hood needs replacing.
General comments?
Seriously fun vehicle - especially when it had its steering and brakes fixed!!
Took off the canvas roof since just too too noisy.
Cheapest Convertible in Singapore @ S$16K with COE to 2010 and renewable @ $5K and dropping!! Fuel $20 a tank and Road tax $750 per year. Only NTUC spoiled the fun with $900 insurance 3rd party. But hey! anyone can drive it now!
Easily takes 5 friends on short jaunts.
