1974 Land Rover 88 SIII SWB review from Malta
"Love at first sight!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, the brakes had to be pumped twice to actually stop the "tank", as my friends call it.
Also, the gas pedal cable snapped for me, but it only took me five minutes to replace it.
Otherwise, the first three months of its life with me were like a newly wed couple, excellent.
General comments?
I love my Land Rover. I wouldn't change it for any other car.
It also looks good. I have all roofs for it, hard top, truck cab and soft top. It's an all weather thrill!
