Work in progress, 1959 SerII
here is my 1965 series 2a 88", my grandfather gave it to me 4 years ago just to get it out of my uncles hayfield, i spent the past few weeks just recently getting it going, and its now running and moving under its own power for theirst time in almost thirty years.
Nice,
Surprisingly good shape, considering the sit period.
I kinda like the 'natural camoflauge' patina as well... If you decide to paint it, first get some high quality pictures of it sitting in that old field... they would be a nice keepsake in the evolution of this old girl...
good luck, mike
thanks, and yeah it is in remarkably good shape, only the rear frame didn't hold up, i need to replace the frame from the rearmost tubmount back, if you notice its sitting crooked because the drivers rear spring is inside the frame, but it could have been a lot worse, my grandfather had rolled it bre parking it, that's why its got the blue parts on it, i think he was afraid of it after rolling it:rolleyes: im planning on painting it black with white or cream top eventually, not original, but i like the color combo, and i haven't seen anyone do it on a rover yet
My two Land Rovers I use for my Company. We use them to move players around the field and all sorts off odd jobs.

This is a barrier beach in Duxbury Mass. at the end it has a cliff top community and then another mile of so of private beach. Peaceful and well preserved
This is my '65 IIA 109. The paint job is cheap and not accurate (previous owner). Runs like a top. Best feature is the original Fairey capstan winch.
