This came up on my Google photos 3 years ago when we were looking at properties.
It's probably still there central North Island New Zealand.

Our family car in the 1970’s was a Bedford Utilibrake, like a minibus. Painfully slow so when we went to Leeds to see family it took 2 days !!

Took my new old la(n)dy out yesterday

Looks perfectly at home!

Old Landies - that curious blend of being supper cool and very capable off road, while being utterly rubbish on road, really uncomfortable and dangerous with practically no passive or active safety features. I still want one though!

Call me crazy, but I was more excited in the week leading up to its delivery, than I was for the 430 or 550. They get under your skin! And the fact you can customise them to your own taste, and can do most of the work yourself makes you bond even more w it !
Dirt cheap to run: A fuel pump cost £20, water pump £50, new gearbox £500, new clutch kit £100, etc... No road tax, £90 annual insurance, no congestion charge etc...
They are still quite cheap to buy (£15k get you a restored car on galv chassis)... they’re appreciating fast though

A mate at work has a '62 SWB Landie waiting to be restored, he'll probably get round to it when he's finished his Mk3 Capri.

This week I 'ave mostly been looking at early XJs for sale and getting nostalgic pangs for the October '73 Series 2 4.2 manual / overdrive I stupidly sold four years ago....

Remember my next door neighbour having one of those Jags in that colour. We had an Audi.

His jag was always broken.

To be fair a Jaguar can be like a Maserati but if looked after they are both very reliable.
