Those engines used to fit nicely into a series 3 land rover with a few minor adjustments.

Had a tweaked  sd1 v8 in a series 2a 3 speed auto box an power steering but still on leaf springs and drum brakes all round it was entertaining to drive and 8 miles to the gallon

I thought you used candles 50 years ago.

Still have my dads lamp from the 1980s. Coleman head with a deben 17amp battery in metal case with dimmer . Large motorbike battery. My cousin brought it home from England at the time and it was the best thing on the market at the time. I think he spent £300 on the kit at the time which would of bought a small car. I broke several lamps since but that Coleman head is still working 30 years later and a few that used it are dead and gone now.

remember heading out at 6 on a winters night in my mk2 escort,and lamping willy nilly anywhere i fancied ,no houses in lots of places and even if the farmer did come out ,you'd end up chatting for an hour or more loosing valuable hunting time ...i try to explaing the ways it used to be to my son ,but he just looks at me with disdain,lol..those days were some of the best ,most enjoyable times of my life i must say ,lots of rabbits and little barriers to stop you ..the thing i remeber most is the frosty nights ,and your breath like smoke bellowing from your mouth and the pitch blackness of it all,and you look up to the skies and see the stars in their millions ...and the quietness ,and the squeal of the rabbit a hundred yards away caught by your partner in sport....and the isolation,,,and not a fear or a care in the world ,but being lost in the events of the night and reality only hitting you when you reach the car with a heap of hot bunnies ,and then lying in bed unable to sleep from the excitement of the night .....f**k sake ...some one get me a beer fast lol
