Land Rovers waiting to be rescued - the hunt is on - post photos

In looking at pics of the mighty mite (great truck by the way), I came across this site below.

Low and behold, there are afew shots of rovers. Including 1 half-track from Iraq and another with an artillery gun mounted on it. Unreal.

I don't speak spanish, so no idea on the descriptions.

I ran the site through Babel Fish. Translation came out just fine. Basically, the Centaur was found in Iraq in 2005, and brought back to England by a collector. I know they had alot of problems, but I still love those Centaurs. Glad someone is saving it. Good find.

Welcome back to the North Jim! Thanks for sharing the pics.It breaks my heart to see all those Defenders wasting away.I'm sure this and other sites have many wanting parents longing to adopt a neglected rover out of poverty.Too bad the adoption red tape is so complicated.

For just a dollar a day, the cost of a cup of coffee, you can be the proud sponsor of a 110 that desperately needs your help.

LOL "Yes, you can make a difference in a neglected 110s life"

I like the dog house conversion.

Nice pics Jim. The islands are loaded with neglected "children". A guy on Tortola has 2 90s, and one is his goat's house, the other a chicken coop. A few years ago, there was an island cleanup of derelicts, and several Land Rovers went to sea, never to return.

Here's a '73 Series III (88", I believe) that need rescuing in Minnesota:

I've tried contacting him but no response. Has anyone else had any success or failures?

best line....

"Ran when I parked it (10? years ago)"

awesome. who knows, maybe there's a great project under there.

All used rovers should be sold with the caveat "Ran when new" in the add....after that all bets are off!
