    I love British Iron

    I own a 1974 Jensen Healey and love it and made it reliable but a few points on British Vehicles

    1. There are always electrical problems. The issue is not limited to the engine type. My JH runs on 3 fuses and was a nightmare before I had it totally rewired. There is a reason they call Lusa the Lord of Darkness. The only thing Lucas ever made that didnt suck was their vacuum cleaner.

    2. There are always mechanical problems. From ill fitting hand assembled pieces to the tradition of a few pints at lunch nothing fits together well.

    3. They design cool vehicles though. They have to when comort, reliability and dependability are missing.

    That said I love my JH and would not sell it for what it is worth. Maybe for what it cost to get it running though.

    Do it! I miss and want back my Series II more than any other vehicle I've ever owned! Drove my uncle's Defender 110 off road and it was awesome. Especially if you're going for the Overland vehicle thing, not too much can be crammed into the VX. I'm at a similar crossroads, though I'd probably end up with a disco or rangie on my budget.

    Thumbs up

    I work for a dealer so I say do it!!! A rare 110 is a nice find as long as it is not a rust bucket.

    ........and I still have a 1989 Range Rover County Classic which I will never sell!!
