Anoraks at the ready!

#1 Post by JPB »

OK, so this lovely thing is, on the face of it, a very original looking old horseless carriage, but it has acquired a small part - ideally one of a pair but only the one is visible in the photies ;) - that really ought to be seen in a famous Solihull-built 4x4.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to identify the Land Rover content.

A wee hint: Picture three. ;)

Why? what's wrong with a spider?

Not a lot. Unless some unfeeling individual fitted that with Land Rover engine mounts too.
The image appears to be mirrored though, surely a car's steering wheel should be on the driver's side?

Odd, the listing is on eBay.co.uk and the car is in Belgium, which is closer to you than it is to me! It's an orange Lada.

:drool:
