Last Photo Of 'S50 RAT'
« on: December 30, 2005, 12:21:31 »
Is now in my albums, taken yesterday near where we used to live & en-route to work.

I suppose I'll miss the old girl.
After all she's never let me down in 3years, the only problems that i can think of are; a puncture (needed new tyre) & a couple of replacement bulbs.
28,000miles in 3 years
3 Mot tests passed whilst in my care, without even an 'Advisory'

Wear & Tear Items; new tyres shortly after purchase. It was wearing the original Goodyear GT+4(??), put on Colway 235/70 A/T's about 25,000miles ago
New rear shocks
Front discs & pads


Photo-location; Multi-Map


Look out for it about the West/South Yorkshire area

I haven't actually said I'm buying another Landie.
Yes it's a good old girl, still reckon it's a bit posh for me, but then again TVR's aren't exactly luxurious either.

Ya cant get away with that hat in anything else.  Everybody expects Landy owners to be a tad excentric/nuts.

I must admit i am a tad worried.  I knew most of Wakefield was his back garden but to leave the Green Oval behind is a real sin, the devil won't let you in ya know.  You'll be stuck on a cloud with Michael Aspel and Lionel Blair for company when the time comes.

Have you found the 110 you were after?

How will we recognise the RAT if we see it, as I assume from your other posts that the number is being transferred.

I think it's the only I've seen that has the sensible rear lights.
When I bought it, I added the functioning body-clusters, so it has twin rear tail-lights & twin indicators to each side.
As a very small detail, it has the 12N & 12S sockets mounted high up under the rear-bumper, not alongside the ball

Oh & perhaps it might?? retain the 'Mud-Club'& 'DOC' decals on the wheel-cover??

I've bought some 200 series light clusters so I can add the 'sensible lights', but I haven't got a suitable garage, and it's too cold to get round to fitting them.

Any clues to the next vehicle? ........ is it the 110?

Nice motor, maybe a little too shiny though and needs some of the "M" word.

Just tell Joanne all the bits were bargains  :wink:

I've got the altered MoT certificate & VED disc back & the new plates on the 110.
New plates shown on here


The Discovery has had its original registration returned, so look-out for around the (possibly, at a guess?) Wakefield/Huddersfield/Sheffield/Barnsley area, for;
