Actually, the truck is all original, no changes were made to the body, with the exception of the rock sliders. If you're thinking of the radiused rather than square corners of the windows, I believe it's because I have one piece doors (with old-style handles). If you have two piece doors with sliding windows, you'd have the square rear windows.

Regards,
Pete

Very cool...

Well Golly, I was going to pass on this tread since everyone has seen pictures of The Green Rover. But 2008 marks the thirtieth year I've owned my rig, so I'll do a time lapse photo set.

March 1978, She was a worn out broken down 109 pickup. I paid $350 and towed her home

In 1980 I swapped the pickup top for a full top. She worked as a farm vehicle from 1978 through 1992. This picture is from around 1986. She was used to haul livestock, manure, fire wood and feed. She also served as my commute vehicle driving me the 45 miles to work & home over a mountain range 5 days a week.

Most of those years she went topless during the summer months with the roof going back on just before the county fair in September.

In 1992 I sold all the livestock, my tractor and the gear. The Green Rover became a lady of leisure and I started using a little of the free time for camping

Mud run camp ground about 1995 I set up my kitchen outside under a tarp (it was raining) and slept inside on the floor.

In 1996 I brought home a damaged Dormobile kit that was salvaged from a wrecked Dormobile. It took me a year to rebuild my trusty work Rover into a long range Land Rover Dormobile.

I completed the rebuild at the end of August 1997 and immediately took The Green Rover out on a 3 month long camping trip to see how the conversion worked.

I put a great deal of effort into designing a comfortable interior that I could live in during any kind of weather.

During the year from fall 1997 through fall 1998 I had a convergence of money and time (probably the only time in my life this will happen). During a 52 week period I was out camping on the trail for 20 of those weeks. I traveled from Jasper British Columbia to the Mexican border and from the Pacific to the Atlantic, making a complete tour around the Great Lakes, and spending a lot of time in the four corners area. It was about as nice a year as I have experienced. The Picture above was in Eastern Montana.

Since then I've traveled and camped in The Green Rover as I could afford it. The picture below is from my latest trip, 2007-2008 New Years on the Mojave Trail

More trips coming​

Here is my 95 Discovery. I just picked it up this afternoon. Only 81 K miles, 5 speed. Most everything looks new. Previous owner bought it when it was one year old.

1986 Range Rover Classic

Here is my 86 Classic. I have had it about 18 months, replaced my 2003 Montero. Has about 70k miles, but evidently most of those were on the streets of San Francisco, so the suspension was hammered. Put Old Man Emu Springs and Shocks, tore out the back seat (it sucked) ripped out the non functional AC and everything attached that was loose and rattling. Its a work in progress... a very lethargic progress. Some day it will almost be complete.

oldcase,
Great looking Disco! We have a very similar setup, but I'm jealous of your color of green, ha.

Oldcase and Lygriek, you both have very interesting paint jobs on your vehicles. I presume both have been repainted since leaving the factory...?

I didn't know the RRC ever came with a white roof, and I've never seen that colour green on a Discovery, let alone with a white roof.

I had a '96 5spd Discovery and loved it, until my engine asplode. I think the RRC is one of the most timelessly classy vehicle shapes ever.

As far as I know the green is a factory stock color. The roof was painted white by the previous owner. The white roof works out quite well in the Florida sun.

 

[Lygriek]

I painted the roof after spending an hour sitting in the 100 degree sun, listening to the roof tick from expansion, and was actually surprised how much it really helped keep the temp down.

Yeah, I've pondered painting my roof matte black for the same reason Just kidding of course, I like the white roof.
