Back To Landrovers - Lena up for sale
« on: November 22, 2013, 04:09:50 pm »
I'm here - and still over there. That is all. Now, some of you may have spotted my first love is up for sale. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131049281613?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Bought Lena (named because she had a bad lean due to blue box springs) a complete novice, not knowing she had a **** block and would expire on me after 25 miles. Thanks to the folks on S2 forum and subsequently OLLR, I got her back to life and learned much about the green meccano. I let her go when the replacement engine gave out and I was offered the current incumbent with a new chassis as part of the deal. Quite nostalgic looking at her again, every dint and scrape brings back memories. Glad to see she's been given an engine transplant and a good welding to. Needed that. Hope she goes to a good home and the new owner takes care and somehow keeps in touch. Quote from Rich P as Lena lay on her side on Gatesgarth "Do you know it has a Defender fuel tank on it?" (thats why there's an extra badge on the door, as a rock went through the skin). Hsppy times - and more to come I hope.

Nice to see Lena again. That was one we should not have sold. Never mind it might just end up on here. Hello Mr Chippers.

My arse is still sore from kicking myself .

Hadn't seen the video Ian. The big tyres don't do her any aesthetic favours and not sure if I took off the sills. That Right headlamp would never align properly and you can tell it's high in the film. Logging on to piggy bank as we speak. I wan't her back........ :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Went for £2750. Fair price for a great motor. If anyone knows where she ends up I'd like to keep in touch.
