2007 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Baltic Blue

A thing of beauty.

Was ever fitness for purpose such as this?

Wonder if a DS will ever grace Bodmin airfield in years to come? A Freely2 maybe......... :)

They didn't. That was designed by a much younger generation, for a much younger generation, with one certain bint called Mrs. Beckham being paid a small fortune for her "design input"

Foraging near Gaydon....

What is it about airfields and old Landys? this was on the tarmac following my 70th birthday treat - a flying lesson from Perranporth airfield around the west coastline of our fair county. Sheer magic! Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto

2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Narvik Black

Old Landies in their natural habitat always look good IMHO. Here is my little old Series One on my local lanes near my house here in France.

Quite so! The "Lanes" in the pics are designated as public roads and actually appear on sat nav. The one down to the river is about 200 yards from my house and goes by my front door. John

You live in a lovely area of France - so long as you like rural!

Just to the west of you is what I think is paradise on earth - the Ile d'Oleron. Fabulous beaches, lovely lanes, fascinating creeks.

Have a glass of pineau for me - red of course!
