Re: Wobland Spottage
I am no Land Rover expert but did have a 107 series 1 as my second car back in the '80's. I seem to think they came out in '48 and the 1600 was in the earliest of them. My 107 was a '58 I think and the last of the 2 litres. The engine was an inlet over exhaust job with the exhaust valves in the block and the inlets in the head. I remember taking it to a garage and the old boy in the service department said it was the smoothest Land Rover engine he had ever heard. It was probably the best Land Rover I had but parts were a nightmare back in the 80's as the series 1 was very different to the later ones.

Re: Wobland Spottage
I had a 1600 Series 1 80" as my get me out in winter car, when I lived in the back of beyond. It usually got run without the door tops, canvas or windscreen. Handy for pottering about in locally. I did slide it sideways down a bank in the snow once, luckily without overturning. Would love another, can't afford one.

Re: Wobland Spottage
I’ve just started looking for an imported one here in the States to replace the WReX for winter.
What the hell happened to the prices?
I thought I could pick one up for $10k or maybe $15k for a nice ‘90s station wagon.
You can find projects for $23k and anything worth having is at least $40k. When did that all happen?
I fancied a fun off road capable car, that could tow the 7 on a drag behind trailer that would be winter worthy. Hells bells. That’s another car on my bucket list out of reach.

As I suspected I was right about everything.

Re: Wobland Spottage
Spotted while at work yesterday. Guessing it's having a fair old bit of structural work done. Either that or a grass tracker on drugs got hold of it.

A trip to Coalport and a walk into Ironbridge today and these two beauties* are still sat there. That moss is really getting going now and bonus bridge in the background.

Re: Wobland Spottage
I've no idea and there was no-one about to ask at the time. I was thinking someone on here would have ID'd it by now... There's a tidy little Mk 1 MR2 parked behind it too but I was busy trying to get an 8th length of cable thru a piece of old conduit.treehugger wrote: ↑Sun Jan 02, 2022 9:17 amWhat's that?Scruffy Bodger wrote: ↑Sat Dec 18, 2021 4:25 pm 20211217_133743.jpg
