Wow that is quite a collection :!: I was starting to think that I had too many toys, but now it seems like I do not have enough :?: I once camped on the Shropshire union canal about half a mile away. If I had known that was there I would have gone to see it :!:

This place isn't far from where I live and I've been there a few times for spares. There aren't actually as a many Landrovers there as there used to be. Most were ex-military SIII 109 FFR's and GS's which the guy who owns the farm has gradually been repairing and registering for customers.

I spend my working life on farms and only can wish one like that turned up local to me :) Instead I have to tolerate the incessant jibes about land rovers reliability. :?

Hi Guys,

Just remember if anyone gives you issues about reliability, a useful stat: 93% of all
Landrover's ever built are still on the road..... the other 7 % made it to the destination.

A friends farm is like this, but sadly no land rovers :(
The farm has been in the family since the early 30's. When something, be it a tractor, car, lorry or some old farming implement came to the end of its life, or brought new in to replace existing equipment. They just parked them up in the many outbuildings or in the nettles.

I'm on this farm most weekends and have got the run of the place. Even after 10 years, I'm still finding stuff that I never spotted before.
