I am finding the Haffie, with its open rear tray and tight turning circle a handy little vehicle at home.
One of the projects I had put on hold when I had my Haffie engine problems was to remove the mighty V8 out of my landrover 101 and upgrade it to a Rover 4.6 V8 - none of this crappy Pingauer 4 cycl air cooled stuff.
Because my land is slopped the only flat bit is at the back on the grass so that is where the 101 is parked an all stripped down.
I managed to get the engine out but the issue is to then get it up to the front of the house and into the garage with only minimal space next to the 101 to move the engine - this is where the Haffie came in.
Loading the engine
I wonder how the V8 would go in the Haffie - no faster as the rev range of the V8 is no greater than the Haffie engine.
So the haffie did its job and got the engine up to garage - earlier it had pulled my box trailer also from the rear to the front.
Cheers
Garry
