Looking to buy Land Rover 127/130
Er, subject is it, really!
Please email me... Sam. (based in Europe - but a pick-up in Mauritania ideal - hey, never hurts to ask!!) |
what's happening - is the Pink thing not big enough?
|
Sam,
There is a "127/130 and LR special Vehicles Landy club" - they had a small club stand at a landy show that I saw. If they have a website they might know of a few for sale, have classifieds etc etc |
Hi Toby and Darrin,
The pink thing is perfect, but I need greater load capacity (size rather that weight) and two vehicles, for a trip next year. Darrin, I'll try and track down this club - thanks for the pointer... Sam. |
What about an ex-mil ambulance, they have a high C of G, but would be able to be kitted out as the ultimate overlander.

Hi Sam,
I would certainly recommend an ex mod 127 ambulance as a good expedition work horse if that’s the sort of thing your looking for. Lots of space in the back for carrying gear or turning into a camper + a huge roof rack – also comes with heavy duty springs, split charge batts and Erspacher (?) heater as standard. They do have a high C of G which makes traversing slopes a bit scary at times compared to a 90 or 110 but I can think of few vehicles in its class which can drag 3.5 tons of junk over dunes with out flinching (well – too much!) – guess that’s down to the V8 though. All parts are standard 12v 110 / V8. Have a look at the look at the site below for bit more info and a list of ex-mod disposal places in the links section to go and have a look / test drive if your interested. Expect to pay 4k to 5k + vat for say 1988/9 with 10k/20k on the clock. L/H drive are cheaper again. If you want any more info about them, send me a mail and I’ll gladly try and answer your questions. There is an “Ex-military Land Rovers” club with at least one member who has a 127 and a small mailing list of 127 ambulance owners who I could put you in touch with as well.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a crew-cab, or pick-up with flat-bed rear. So, either ex-electricity (etc.) or 127 Rapier style. I need the open space on the back for m-bikes. I'll check out those links, thanks. Sam. |
Withams are pretty good. They are based off the A1 south of Grantham. They have loads of ex army vehicles. Got a Sankey trailer from them, there was a choice of about 50. Met others who had bought a 101 ambulance off them. They have a good selection, they aren't to fussed about a big discount, primarily because their main business seems to be bulk sales to third world countries but they were pretty helpful and the prices seem alright.

Hi Sam
A friend of mine might be selling his 127 box body (ex utility company) Has a full opening back so you could get the bikes inside and out of sight probabily http://www.parts-exchange.org/view_s...ad.php?id=1234 Only problem is no engine at present ------------------ Rich LR101 300Tdi Ambi 'Tiggurr' |
Rich,
Thanks for that, have sent him an email. Not going to be able to get 8 bikes in there, though!!! Sam. |
Er, his server reckons my mail is spam (particularly astute, some might say!!).
Could you let him know that I'd like to know how much he is after... Cheers, Sam. |
Sam
Have mailed him with your details and told him about your email probs ------------------ Rich LR101 300Tdi Ambi 'Tiggurr' |
