If you keep the current colour scheme you may be able to trick the sheep into thinking your a sheep dog to make hearding easy

It'll stay fairly stock mate, i just don't need any more out of it. The idea for the sj is to fit between our quad and the bigger bronze green ones
i'll build a frame on the back to take a large square (rectangle) haylage bale vertically so i can go out feeding in winter without dragging a trailer around
Other than that all i'll do is a few wee bits to make it work as a shooting truck
Me dog is black so that won't fool em
seeing a lot of love for the camo pattern

Green un's are my beloved 1966 S11A and my gaffer's D3. The sj will just have that bit lighter a footprint and not damage the fields like the landys

Yeah just take it slow cause you're more likely to spin in the sj unless you're in bottom box

I always had a soft spot for the S11a had a ex rover works experimental 12 seater that had about every accessory going on it including the air type seats you find in lorries of today,but that was direct from the factory as they had been selling about 3-4 vehicles off at knock down crazy pries but that was 40 years ago.
I could see the rover test track from our house and the 1st batch of Range Rover going around,each vehicle that came off the production line had to be driven flat out around the test track before it was signed off.These days non are tested that way.
Is your S11A petrol or diesel,ours was originally petrol but we changed over to the 21/4 diesel as the fuel economy on it was crazy,its nice to have a trip down memory lane sometimes
