The Landrover is the ideal car for the hobbyist mechanic.

I nearly bought this thing a couple of years ago. Luckily the owner managed to get a permit to export it to South Africa.

Does anyone know how we could go about finding who it belongs to and if we could adopt it KSA style? It does have number plates.
Thanks

On a more positive note, as Blue Cat suggests, the police might be able to advise you as to the legality of such a take-over, and whilst one of the banks may have a claim on it, if they did, and it's as noticable as you say it is, you would have thought they would have done something about it by now, even if it was to tow it to a storage yard somewhere. Good luck, whatever you do.:)

irich, Lightweights are some of the best Land Rovers to buy. Bog basic, so nothing to go wrong, terrible ride, so they don't get hammered off-road, and suffiecently different from everything else to be a barrel of fun ( if it starts in the morning- if it doesn't, you can always use the starting handle, but in 40degC? No, ta, I'll leave that for someone else to try, thank you.):)

I guess those with hands-on starting handle experience are pretty few and far between these days??!!!!!!!
