What's made you grumpy today?

That’s a nice looking 110, loving the wheels? Is that an 86? Can’t quite see the Reg in the pic ?

The wheels are Rader, a German aftermarket company. I sold it a few weeks ago to www.classicmarques.net and they still have it on the forecourt if you want it, (it's back on it's original reg. MX12)

This'll be the first winter for years that I hav'nt had a 4X4, just the Panda on her new UltraGrip8's :D
(I'm looking for an old Series Land Rover at the mo)

The bonnet bulge is to fit the ford engine so unless later bonnet fitted unlikely to be 1986 .
 
The radiator grill forward of the light panels also to fit ford engine

I was looking at the reg not the bonnet, these things are largely interchangeable on land rovers, I had an 86 Range Rover with an Isuzu engine which required a large bonnet bulge to fit so I don’t assume anything. As posted above though the car is a 2012 model and currently for sale....

I’m tempted but the wife would kill me, it’s a nice car though.

There is a 90 (2014) down the road from me for sale and that’s £22k and seriously tempting, only thing about that one is it’s a van

I happen to have a 109inch diesel series III, first reg sept 76 so eligible for historic road tax, on galvanized chassis that needs refurb. Van top and truck cab. No MOT.

Located in Gloucestershire.
 
It's a 2012 110 Utility Station Wagon. I was'nt a big fan of Land Rovers but bought a 61 plate 90HT so I could claim the VAT back. My previous vehicles were estate cars or Jeeps (with rear seats and windows) and my accountant recommended that I went for the Defender commercials.
As I found out though (after I'd sold it, and this made me very grumpy) the Wrangler had a 3500kg towing ability so could have been regarded as a VAT-reclaimable commercial. This also affects the taxation class, as noted on V5's, which lowers the road tax paid but this, in turn, then gives the insurance company an excuse to wind up your premium. More grump inducing regulations.
Apart from being a bit lacking in the build quality department Defenders turned out to be the best working 4X4's I've had.

If you got 30k kicking round somewhere you could put it towards one of these classics...

About to cross the road in Newark Lincolnshire and above the button a sign, a ridiculously PC sign, please wait for the green FIGURE!!!!!!!!!!!! Surely to add all those was not a good use of what will reportedly be the overstretched purse.
 
thick kids on facebook Punto Enthusiasts group that think if you fit a lower mileage engine to a car its perfectly fine to clock the car back to the mileage of that 1 used part. :nutter:
Lol... in theory you can clock it back but must have a mileage correction sticker showing... not sure if old mileage has to printed on it....
