Have you ever owned a Land Rover?

[rovie]

Is it a Classic or a P38. If it is a Classic and in good condition, keep it. There will never be another vehicle like it! And they are appreciating!

It´s a 1986 Classic Efi Vogue, bought from the 1st owner, original less than 50k km, no rust, interior like new.
The previous owner was around 80 years old. The teddy bear carpet and the seat covers were not worn. He only ever drove alone. And only into the mountains to collect mushrooms (magic mushrooms?). The vehicle was always parked in a garage. But even the driver's seat hardly shows any signs of use.

Nevertheless, I have had the vehicle overhauled for 2.5 years. The originality is being preserved and wearing parts replaced. The injection system is being overhauled.
The professionals do that. Not some self-appointed so-called experts.

I have not. Got a ride once in my younger days when was hitchhiking daily. Was impressed with ability of the Land Cruiser to navigate the snowy mountain access road.

In my experience, there is no better driving experience than a long trip in a topless 109 2-door.

This tread deserves an xxx rating. Defender porn, the only porn I am allowed to look at from my wive.

Does XXX stands for 4X4?

of cours, what else?

 

[Mountain4x4]

No Land Rovers, but try on 8 Montero/ Pajeros for an obsession.

After really intensive consideration, I decided to sell it. Sorry that I didn't follow the advice. Maybe one day I'll regret selling such a great vehicle in its original condition. But I can't keep everything.

Hopefully you sold it for a mint to a loving new family.

It's sad but @Tom109 is selling his RRC too. Hopefully his also finds a good home and good price.

No, it hasn't been sold yet. My dealer only put the sale advert live a week ago. I think it's more for an enthusiast than for a family. But who knows. It's white and would fit in well in the USA. There used to be a special series in white there.

Fond Land Rover memories,, I was a small child every Sunday night Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom (Series began 1963) would air. I'd be glued to the TV for that one hour, not only enjoying wild distant lands and animals, but I was fascinated with the Land Rover. There was just something about that square body. The minimalistic approach to motoring.
Fast forward to that first Defender 90 I owned, and traded for the 97 Hardtop SW in 97. That truck gave me 10 years of very reliable service and countless memories.
Then when I saw the Ineos, in Station Wagon form, I was compelled to test drive and scrutinize this new model. I wasn't disappointed despite it's few faults.
I liked all my Land Rovers, several I loved. I hope the Grenadier proves its worth. Time will tell.

How many of you have ever owned a Land Rover product? It can be a 1948 Series I, a 2023 Range Rover Evoque, or anything inbetween. Please answer yes or no and, if you would like to share which models you have owned, please share in the comments

Oh Yes, far too many. Started with the classic RR, lost count of how many. Was a member of the RRR for many years attending all the shows. Still go to the Billing show every year. I used to trailer a bob tail RR to off road events, just to spend the next month rebuilding it. If you could not swim out the window you ain't going deep enough. Still own 3 90's and a D1.
Picture shows me driving out of a pond with the door open to let the water out, and we done this for fun.

My question is most LR owners had more than one car, will the same apply to IG owners in the future. I met a guy at the Billing off road show last year with an IG and was in the process of buying another!!!!!
