Robins 55 #1 Posted March 16, 2014 Hi All, Not had much time for my other toys recently, not even tested the Wheel Horse charging system i was planning to do just after Christmas! Ive been busy building this: Toy Land Rover series 2 Ive spent most of the day driving round the garden in this awesome weather. Got to test these things you know Top speed of 6 miles per hour, which is actually ample in something like this round the garden It is a large garden Powered by this yeah right working model Haynes engine just for fun and show. Folding windscreen. Working front and rear lights and indicators. Plus a drop down tailgate. Speed controller from crawl to 6 mph, with high and low range. Its a squeeze for an adult, but easily takes 2 children up front. cheers, Daniel 1 vegikev reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 2,417 #3 Posted March 16, 2014 A nice little build Daniel, knowing your taste in cars I'm a little surprised you haven't squeezed a Rover V8 under the bonnet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neil 524 #5 Posted March 16, 2014 Very authentic Daniel , did you make it from a Kit or your own work ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robins 55 #6 Posted March 17, 2014 Thanks Guys. I made it from plans in a book with all the sizes ready to transfer on to the plywood. Its a half scale. Ian, funny you should mention the V8, I bought the 4 cylinder months ago when it was on special offer thinking it may squeeze under the bonnet, now i realise i could easily fit the V8 model in there, next time mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fordsonmajortom 4 #11 Posted March 19, 2014 Cool! another one. Question is do you drive it when the grandchildren are not looking Like Stormin said, 'Toylander' I have driven it but it's not very comfortable.I prefer the wheelhorses to drive.
