Little Land Rover

A medley of videos of my boys driving their half scale Land Rover. Built from scratch it is fitted with an 11.5hp four stroke engine and a 5 speed gearbox from a garden tractor. See http://www.little-leafers.co.uk for details of plans to build the next generation of this model.

'ere, thats my engine!

It still looks excellent there Steve.

What gear was it in there?

Is it still on the go?

[dieseldrinker]

Hi Nat. Goes well doesn't it. I don't normally let them go any higher than third gear unless I'm in with them.

Managed to get the electric start on now but I'm having some fun getting the steering column round the starter motor. It's a lot easier to start though especially now I've put a choke control cable from the engine.

Wait till you see the new ones. I've just got to paint up the bodies then I'll be shooting a new video - watch this space!!

All the best, Steve.

hey ime will morgan i bought a set of chassis plans and they look deatailed what sort of age group are these models sutable for looking forward to the new bodies

[dieseldrinker]

Hi Will, glad you like the plans. My kids were 4 when they first started driving the original model, and as a 6 foot, sixteen stone 42 year old, I can also drive them so they cover a broad age range. S1 plans are about a week away now. If it wasn't for the snow I'd have the new body painted and would have a new video up. Keep watching!
