both eco and bod know these 110,s sound advice from eco in my book
 
It has proberbly got the chassis number of a 1973 model stamped on it, that does not make it tax exepmt if you get stopped
 
and i am not the seller of said vehicle, was only making suggestion of what i would do

The said land rover has 0% of any land rover from 1973, fine if a 1970's land rover needs a new chassis you can buy one and fit it, but the car still retains leaf springs its old series 3 land rover body, series interior etc etc etc
 
good info there lads thanks for inputting.

i thought about lpg but cannot find one what do they do to the gallon?. i have lpg supply a mile down the road too.

i also have to keep wifey happy by buying eye candy!. if i turn up in a 'project' i will end up with my dog pre-op ballless since tuesday.lol.

it has to be a looker and good to use as my 'plumbing van' as well as a good investment for a few years.
 
L/R V8 will do 12-18 to the gallon on LPG maybe less but it cost less to buy. I had the predecessor to the V8 a series 3 2.6 straight 6 and at 70 MPH it did 10MPG, I would go for a TD5 for what you want
 
well a mg zt with modern engine management returns about 25 to the gallon in a 2 ton car, a landrover 110 loaded with kit and a older v8 with carbs returns much less being a much bigger truck so expect about 18 to the gallon compare this to the cost of lpg at about 45p? per gallon diesels £1;47 most places

cheap at your place then :)
 
lpg is 79p per litre around the corner, so a v8 will be less worthy of a diesel grunt and economy?. will it not = 20p per mile on lpg?.

does the td5 keep a good value like the 300tdi or will it cost me in repairs?.
i can and have a mig welder, can pull an engine and the rest but i really dont want to have to or loose tools down!.
