Sorry Matt we don't stock them.

Mainly for performance cars we stock. Can have them made up but you are better of finding someone who does do them as it will cost a lot to get them made up as a one off.

No worries, you might like to ask Mitzy, he is a Mitzy fanatic, hence the name!


Think he is prime minister or Heir Führer of the Mitzy owners club.

Theres a lot of expat LR owners in Spain, and a lot of uk owners who do the morrocco trip every year that need spares, so I doubt if john1979 wont be selling em for long

Still working! It never stops!
I'm doing an English translation for a Spanish web design company who are doing a tourism site.
They used Babelfish originally for their English pages and wondered why they got no UK response from holidaymakers!
Besides being incomprehensible (imagine SOS73 promoting holidays).....the bits you could understand was not exactly inspirational marketing for holidays. The fresh food page was full of descriptions like "killing", "slaughtering", and "sacrificing" animals and using their blood in the food!
Then there was vivid descriptions of marauding subhuman neanderthals inhabiting the area, and how the region had been something like The Killing Fields when invaders arrived!
Sounded more like a Dennis Wheatley novel that anything else!

Of course the marauding subhuman neanderthals living here is as true today as it ever was!

Its been a VERY reluctant purchase to be honest but it is in mint condition with 75k mile from new!

I used to have series landys and I loved them but once I started using them for work they just get hammered so I switched to Jap cars.

The problem is that whatever you drive the second you start going off road and towing a half ton of ballast and fence posts things start going wrong and a new gearbox for an Isuzu trooper is going to cost more than a whole chassis for the Disco!


HD suspension is the first on the "To-do" list.
