| Treason ! A landie isn't a landie without a visible pair of wellies,
3 labradors, and an agricultural miasma ! .

ah but the three labs can sit on the cabinet (they show just that in their
publicity photos).
And the dog's get a much better view out of the rear windows!

You've been looking in my '130 :-)
Seriously I think the word "County" in the name of the cab is indicative - they
are pitched at those who want to gentrify a vehicle, not use it for real work.

a Discovery 3 door...)

| Surely you cannot put the wellies in the tallboy in the back, as you
need the wellies to get through the mud from the driver's seat to the
tailgate.

I mean 130
That is what the latest series are called (ie what used to be the "One Two
Seven" is now officially the "Defender 130") - the photo business I am a
partner in took delivery of two shiny new Defender 130 "large box" vans from
Land Rover SVO (special vehicle ops - their version of "one off special
manufacture" - though these box body jobs are more or less off the shelf and
widely sold to the military of the world as ambulances etc) two weeks ago.

so write and ask them - they charged us �25000 each (including recoverable VAT)
for the vans. They even do a flatbad with integral crane (beats a bumper
mounted winch any day) ...

| 1274.10 | What colour curtains, sir? | VOGON::MITCHELLE | | Wed Oct 31 1990 14:59 | 8 |

I wonder what SVO would think of the Landy I passed on the M4 today -
LWB - with pink frilly curtains! (I'll have to get some bright
green ones for the 'green meanie'......) :-)

| 1274.11 | how about organic curtains? | VOGON::MURRAY | | Thu Nov 01 1990 09:48 | 5 |
| Or if you don't like curtains you could have what we had last year -
that was grass or corn or something growing in the back window tracks.
V tasteful and ecolologically sound privacy for the urchins. - No idea
where it came from but we had to mow it down - wonder if LR do a
special attachment for the purpose? - jim

| 1274.12 | Is this a standard option? | VOGON::MITCHELLE | | Thu Nov 01 1990 10:18 | 7 |

>> that was grass or corn or something growing in the back window tracks.
I have the 'moss' version - you don't need to mow it :-)

Get a High Capacity Pick Up, put a tonne of soil in the back and grow a
whole flower bed...
