If you were getting ready for an expedition through the wilds of Africa, what would you choose to do it in? A new Defender, perhaps? A highly prepped old-shape 110, more likely. A Disco, of whatever vintage? A 101 with a camper conversion on the back?
In this month’s issue of The Landy, we’ve got the story of a man who did it in a spluttering Series III he bought for less than a grand. And his verdict on the experience? He’d never do it in anything else. His reasoning makes fascinating reading…
So too does the tale of a true time-warp Disco we’ve unearthed, which is original all the way down to the compass graphics on its doors. A true survivor, and an absolute gem.
There’s a home-built 110 camper with a difference in this issue, too.
Side lockers are fine things, but when did you last see one opening up to reveal a mobile bar lined up with bottles of gin? Oh, and the red leather interior is definitely not the stuff of your everyday overlander.
