Not mine, but I had it's sister ship from 1982-1985.

My wife and I started dating in it!

Mine since 1988 and still going strong. The only major repair was a radiator replacement in 1995 ($540.94).

$15,000 couldn't repair my Series III to make it safe to be on the road!

This is my daily driver now:

Probably the best vehicle I've ever owned!

Marilyn cruised in a series 1. If she had stayed in that and kept out of Cadillacs she would probably still be alive.

Steve McQueen bought his Landy from to factory new, luxury interior. I suppose that leans it had seats.

Brilliant

We lived in Mazabuka in about 1966.

My dear old Dad was the only Doctor for 3000 sq miles

He would travel between clinics in the bush in a landie like that

I used to go with - we’d kip out in the bush as we went along

That was a profound time for me

First time I thought that I’d killed somebody was at aged 8 I got tangled up with the O2 tubes I was supposed to be holding for a resuss patient

My Dad turned to me and said forget it - she’s just died

I thought it was my fault

During my safari in RSA in August, I mentioned the lack of Land Rovers in the bush. I was told that when you purchase a Land Rover , the dealer gave you a dog. Why, I asked. I was told that when you break down you will not be alone. Apparently the newer Landy falls short of the early ones that they built their rep on. So sad. I see it locally with jaguars also.

OK


I may have to get in to Land Rovers again, but not quite...

Home

INEOS identified a gap in the market for a stripped back, utilitarian, hard-working 4X4 engineered for modern day compliance and reliability. We’re building a serious off-roader from the ground up ready for all American conditions.
