Vintage Rover pics

[TeriAnn]

Here is my favorite early Land Rover movie clip. It is a short piece on the history of Land Rover. It looks like it was done in the early to mid 1960's.

Not to be confused with the much newer clip done by the folks at Top Gear

"I simply LOVE this old Ex-MOD truck. Don't know what it is, but all around this is one of my favorite LOOKING Defender/Series trucks. It just looks PERFECT for my taste."



Thanks for the compliment...That is my baby. It's a 1991 RHD x-MoD Defender with a 300Tdi...not that old...

Here is a more recent picture of a run that we did in October of 2011 up to 8300 feet north of Whistler B.C.

Since the previous picture I have added headlight surrounds and a proper Wolf grill for a little added protection against wayward branches/spears through my rad/intercooler.

I found those pics on a blog about kids who lived at a bauxite mine in Guyana in the 60's. http://watookacoffeeshop.wordpress.com/

Sure will if it is still on the road around 2024. Take good care of it.

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.

I still can't get over that badge!

I know the Mokes arent Rovers, but they are cousins, and cool.
