Hi all, let me introduce myself my name is Dave & I am another lad from Barnsley. My mate Chris recently joined & recommended I did the same. My passion for landcrabs goes back to 1973 when I was 7yrs of age. It was time for my parents to change their 1965 Vauxhall victor 101 estate for something newer, to replace it was an Austin 1800 mk2 built on the 2nd October 1971 finished in midnight blue with red interior. The car was kept for 3yrs & sold to my uncle who in turn gave it to me when I was 16 on the promise I put it back on the road after a 4yr lay up. This I did & while my mates were getting mini,s & mk1 escorts here was me with a landcrab. Roll forward 31yrs & in that time I have owned 9 landcrabs in my time. The Yorkshire lads support the LOCI club travelling to many events showing our cars. So there we have it if you see us out & about come & have a chat we are very friendly. All the best Dave.
