That's awsome, we know only too well buying cars then realising there a touch bigger project than anticipated, touch nee being polite,😀 we've subscribed just to see this project and it's progression, we had a series 2a however when our previous partner left the automotive assets were split and instead of sellin both the C124 Mercedes Benz and the Series - he kept the series we got the MB -sadly he sold it for just over £1k granted it needed a new chassis but it would have been the ultimate project.
The thing with this type of project you'll have a real affinity with it, you made it what it is, and it'll take you on many adventures, we love the use of the word quirky too, our surname, mine and Annabelle's is Quirk, Manx heritage-
Have you seen the Ineos Grenadier?
Oh and I found another.photo in my gallery this morning to add to post
That's a fantastic shot, it just shows you the depths you go to with a Land Rover, thank you
Fantastic!
Quirk, what a great name, what's the etymology of that? Love it.
Yeah the Ineos Grenadier.. be interesting to see the take up here, they look so much like a Defender! I wonder how much they'll cost?
Ahhh the 2A.. so cute. I know you guys have issues with rust because of the salt on roads so a lot get sent from here to UK. When we were home last March.. yeah I know great timing.. we were loving seeing all the Landies about in their true home, green lanes and country roads.
That's so true, you do get an affinity with them. He did a ground up resto on the S3 109 and we could never part with it.
The name is Manx in origin (from the Isle of Man) as my husband's family come from there, and has been recorded there are far back as the early 1500's (although the spelling varied at points) and it is derived from the old Gaelic word corc and it means heart (there's also some Scandinavian in there as well)
By the time of the 1881 census Quirk was the tenth most common Manx surname and had spread across to England. For instance, Lord Randolph Quirk the linguist was born at Lambfell on the Isle of Man but spent most of his working life in London. Fun fact, he was my husband's great uncle.
That is a very nice Series 3 - thank you for posting the pictures of it. Ben and I will advidly watch your channel for updates.
