This little Freelander 1 has been added to the collection and what an incredibly fun little thing it is.
You can pick these up for very little money here in the UK but I expect that will change as they become more scarce and collectible.
To me, the Freelander 1 represents what the ubiquitous term ‘SUV’ actually is. Emphasis on the sports and fun aspect.
I’ve been enjoying this 3 door variant with the hardtop you can remove. Something I’ve been able to enjoy with the Mediterranean style summer we’ve had.
I’ve been busy with some minor fettling and the enormous stock back box is soon to be replaced with a slimline MuddyMods one. Beyond this, this little Hippo will be kept fairly stock, showing how much fun can be had without the need to break the bank and modify to an inch of its life.
