What happens when you abandon a Land Rover in the Darien Gap?

[David Harris]

Came across a photo of Land Rovers left in the Darien Gap long ago. . .

The soul, the story and the sacrifice. Would love to know about all three, bet there is an old timer out there still recounting the time they attempted the Darien!

 

[HillbillyfromAL]

That's a great pic. It could be one of those going "green" back to nature commercials.

This is why LR says there's 90% or so Rovers still on the road, the 10% made it home...

 

[Christian P.]

is this what they called "patina" now?

 

[Ray Hyland]

We should mount an "Expedition" to recover them.

I can probably use a lot of parts off those trucks...

 

[MedicalCowboy]

The idea of going to recover them sounds like a great adventure. If this comes to fruition count me in.

 

[Toyotero]

How old is that photo?

While you are there, you could pick up some Corvair parts too

I'm guessing it has frame issues.....just a guess though.....

I think that color was a failed factory one. Jungle slime green.

This is so funny that it's worth repeating!

Yeah, I'd like the side panels off the one in the front.

Ha! I saw the same thing. The top on that 109 is still good!
