Series 2 vs Series 3 vs lightweight
Robbo:
I'm not a purist and haven't the money to trick daisy up, but she will outdo most things if driven by someone who knows what they are doing---in other words not me! :twisted:
A series 2/2a might come in the tax free bracket, lightweights cost loads for a nice one -but they are nice. Proper tonka toys. But seriously At's and a keen eye and gentle right foot will get you dam near anywear in a normal landy whether series or a coiled springy thingy.

Nope, they won't. They will be tax exempt. :wink: Series 2A production ended before 1973, so they are all tax exempt.
Cal:
That might also be a consideration - would be nice to not have to worry about tax.
Out of interest - how much does a IIa or III SWB weigh - just wondering if I can tow one behind my car - have got a garage to keep it in so might be able to keep it SORNd...
Rich_P:
You won't be able to tow it with a normal car, that I can garrantee. Not legally at least. A 88-inch weighs in somewhere around 1.6-1.7 tons I think.
Cal:
Cheers Rich - you're right, my car can only tow 1.5 on a braked trailer...
I'd better get good at getting old landies through their MOT then, or find a lightweight maybe.
Sod's Law I've seen a few nice Series 3s for sale around the kind of price range I will be looking at, but I wont be able to get one until next year.
Hopefully plenty more out there!
