1971 Land Rover Series 2 review from North America
"It may not run right, but, It always runs!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing out of the ordinary has went wrong with the Land Rover that you would not expect from a vehicle that is over 30 years old, like U-joints, exhaust, hoses, brakes.
General comments?
A Series Land Rover is not for everyone!
It is drafty, cold, loud (gear noise), rough riding, and SLOW!
But I love my truck!
One of the coolest vehicles I have ever had.
