900 Club Forum

Good Morning,

My name is Richard Lines and my main interest in Land-Rovers has been 80". I am the ex-owner of pre-production R16 and the current owner of the only working Mobile Welder, a 1950 model. I also have a 1957 88" fitted with a Turner L60 diesel engine.

I would like to own a FCIIA/ B although I can't really say why as my better half would rather to the route of a 'proper' FC i.e. a V8 engined 101.

I've joined the forum to get to know something about the vehicles as my speciality is 80" to date.

Regards

Richard

Welcome Richard. I recall reading about your vehicles over the years. Any questions you may have, please ask and we will do our best to help you.

Welcome along. We're very enthusiastic about Forward Controls here, so hopefully you'll find plenty of interesting reading.

I suspect the best plan would be to have both a 101 and a IIB, as you don't have to choose a favourite, and having owned examples of both (and driven quite a few more) I know it's quite a difficult choice.

Anyways, feel free to join in the conversation, you can probably tell we try not to take ourselves too seriously.

Richard, Welcome.

I have attached a photograph of my collection which might give you some inspiration....I by chance stumbled across my FC, but since owning can't quite work out why I didn't buy one years ago....

Good luck with your decision making.

Regards

Welcome!
