This road test is sweet. The test vehicle has the same license plate frame as my rig. Pretty cool.

Notice the Santana badge. I really want one of those badges. Where is the AZ rover???

This book further fuels my madness.

This fan belt was in my door pocket, when I bought my car. The belt is made by Goodyear with "Rover" also painted on the outside.

I assume its so old that all the oil would've leaked out by now.

While not exactly old pictures, my truck participated in the 1998 Border to Border marathon as part of the US Land Rover 50th anniversary events.

In Eastern Montana a couple hours before I broke my front axle in deep snow (still had 2.25L engine)



In Moab on the Lockhart Basin trail after I replaced the front axle



Probably still on the same trail



In Southern Arizona


A stream crossing

Heres a 61 109 diesel rover pickup that Repete and I went out into the bush and looked at.It is very cool and suprisingly rust free.

Now I always thought the most interesting item in the options section was that an alternator was an option on the Series II. :Wow1:
