    @Marty Henry - It was Castrol, although in South Africa it wasn't no 1, but GTX.

    My series II rust proofs its own chassis as you drive along.

    My mate who is incredibly hard on basically everything had a S1 circa 56 or 57.
    Thrashed the bejeezus out of it.
    Was at the stage where he knew he had to top up the oil because the oil light would flicker as he went round certain corners usually followed by a very quick rattle from the mains.
    Stop and top it up and repeat.
    Didnt have to do it every day but if he forgot to check it , that was his method

    it wont need brakes as it will spend most its life on the back of a tow truck

    To be any good it has to be built before about 1967 before British Leyland got there hands on it. I loved mine was very advanced for its age. It had things that even modern supercars dont have like independent front windscreen wipers, doors on the big useless heater in the front passenger foot well. Headlight's side by side in the middle of the car. Guess you had to have one to understand and a big lotto win I would consider buying a series one just for the luxury of the ride and to turn heads. At least when it went wrong (only a couple of times) you lifted the bonnet and you knew what everything was and what it did. Simple as a knife and fork.

    Lifting the bonnet was when you thought "what a stupid place to put the spare"...although many would have thought that when they got behind the wheel and looked out the windscreen.

    Would that make the landy the first vehicle to have a airbag.
    Forgot about the spare but having it on the bonnet added to the aerodynamics of the beast.

    I was taken to my wedding in a long wheel base V8 defender....white one with red flashing lights on roof and siren going....she was a thirsty beast but great fun...red cross ambulance/crew vechille....great wagon.
    learnt to drive in a J1 bedford truck then a series 11 109 long wheel base,took that old girl all over the show...my first vechille was a short wheel base series 1 no key,no papers,no number plate,no exhaust......farm hack,Dad traded it to fencers for some work.....
    always have felt safe in a landy,dont know what it is about them,but its a felt thing....

    Hey guys stop being mean, this guy is just trying to recoup cost for his lost weekends and cost for replacement stub axles, bearings, seals and gearboxs.

    I fixed that problem on my ‘85 110 by fitting gas struts on each side. Worked great. The ‘09 I have now has the hump in the bonnet due to the Puma engine so the spare has to go elsewhere.
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    I cracked up too. I said it was like the joke about owning Hone Heke's original axe, and it had only had 2 new heads and 3 new handles.

    Good luck to the young man, he's obviously passionate about what he has. In years to come he will sadly shake his head and moan about selling it.
