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.

Here's a a few pics from the rear

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

So THAT's why they call them "fingerlings"

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?

Hello everyone,
Here is my latest multi-year project. It is a 1957 88", left hand drive. It looks like it may have started life in the middle east somewhere. Notice the Arabic on the front license and the tires are Generals, "Fabrique en Moroc" and have Arabic on them also. I have an old title that looks like it was bought by a US military guy who probably brought it to the states. It may have been originally painted green but was later painted the khaki color. The old license plate expired in 1979 so it probably last ran when Reagan was president.
It looks like it is mostly complete but there are a couple of items I have questions about that I will post in a more specific thread pertaining to what is original or replacement.
Which threads are your "dumb question" threads
