A real Land Rover is expensive, and somehow you don't care:smiley_drive:.
Purely subjective, as with anything in life. Who cares they are just cars. I think my land rover is real and I'm sure everyone here that owns a land rover considers it real. Still like mine the most.
Forget Toyota. Toyota has no business in this thread.
Anyhow... What was the original intended purpose of a Land Rover? I don't know the answer to that one myself.
forget Africa. While I was out of town, my wife's LR3 died on her. I get her txt msg as I cross the border back to the US.... "my car died. call me"
I call her... "the car died?" and she says, "yeah, that was FOUR days ago."AH
Land Rovers eat **** everywhere. Not only Africa. So don't go dream about Africa just yet.
Ha! My first thought after reading the OP.I prefer the 5 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern criteria.
I don't own anything but land rovers. After 35 years of Land Rovers as daily drivers I don't see myself buying a different vehicle just to use as a DD.Buy A toyota if you want a DD
The real purpose? A product stopgap to allow Rover to make money until steel rationing ended and they could get back to their real business of making cars.Anyhow... What was the original intended purpose of a Land Rover? I don't know the answer to that one myself.
I don't think I'd consider a prototype that was never a production vehicle as the real deal.The only "real" land rover is the one with the center steering wheel and sits on an MB frame.
Most of the new cars look alike so how the hell will they have character I guess at a maximum you lease them .when the rrc was lunched in the 70 they had a back log of 2 years ,where do you find this anymore ,going to a dealership is like going to Walmart.:snorkel:falling in love with your land rover is awesome , but how do u fall in love with one that doesn't have that character? i guess u dont, just lease and return
I real land rover is one that needs a cylinder head job.
What makes a land rover a real land rover...............
The owner.
I like all Land Rovers regardless of generation, but I would consider that a real Land Rover would be any model that can be completely taken apart and/or assembled with common mechanic tools, and was offered in a CKD.
