Here's a a few pics from the rear

Thanks... I've always been interested in a swing-away, but was curious about how it might mount to the tail-gate. Would you have any pictures of the tailgate-to-swing mounting point?

It had both on it when I bought it. Looking back through records kept by PO's, the spare tire in the rear is a D90 carrier.

Do I need two? You never know! Though it does make it a bit more of a pain to get in and out of the back.

Nice. Do you normally carry two spares?

Maybe they are flotation devices . . .

Looks great!

Can you show/explain how you mounted the rear tire to your tailgate?

Thanks

For rustonrover and his 1957 88": Can you post a face-on close-up photo of the Arabic writing, can't see it from this angle? -- if enough is visible, can translate for you.

Beautiful picture - in my mind, what Series Land Rovers are all about.

You should submit it as a POM to the Series 2 Club over in the UK (HERE)... they could stand to have a few more "colonial" submissions.

Nice rig East High. It looks as if you have some custom boxes in the rear tub? What is that? Behind the driver

Thanks!

It's a custom lock box. It was designed for a defender, but it fits the 88 pretty well. It holds a ton of stuff. That's a locking jerry can mount on the other side.

Welcome to the Series I club!

Sweet, never seen a sand/tan version SI. Fun history too!

I've been rover-hauling my '58 for a couple years. Its taken a long time due to parts sacristy, and then cost when I do find'm....

FWIW....many SI aficionados I know down south have given up on the 2.0L, swallowed their pride, and just gone with the 2.25L. Parts are much more available and half the cost of a 2.0L. I just spent near $2K for all new rotating wear parts, gaskets/seals, and oil pump for my 2.0L. Gear box is 2015 project....

Here is a view from the back. The instrument cluster has more gauges that other 57's I seen and there are several switches and lights to the left of the steering column that I don't have a clue what they are for. Maybe auxiliaries that are no longer attached?
I forgot to mention in the earlier post that it has a little over 22,000 km(?) on the odometer.
Comments, questions?
