This is Bertha, my (was my...) '76 SIII being picked up by my little brother.
He'd hankered after her for a while (and I'd always declared that he'd never get his paws on her) and he recently got married, so I figured the best present to give him would be Bertha. He was pretty chuffed.
However, I instantly got Land Rover withdrawal symptoms. So.... this is my latest acquisition; a '94 200tdi 110 hard top. It one of the last to have a 200tdi (on this year plate, in the UK, you can get both 200tdi and 300tdi variants).
The reasons for buying her (other than needing a Land Rover back in my life):
It's a 200tdi (all mechanical, no computer malarkey to go wrong)
It's a LWB, so more room for everything and I can sleep in it
It's original and straight and doesn't have chequer plate everywhere
It's had two owners from new
The last owner had it for ten years and runs his own vehicle garage
It's only done 85,000 miles
I'm quite pleased
