Great Film About Lions & Rovers
Well worth a watch, even after 44 years. A great story with great Land Rovers. Here is part 5 of many. Years ago I tried to track down one of George Adamson's Land Rovers. I located his assistant's son. But I never found the infamous Rover. He had 3. One was given to a family friend upon his death. The other 2 have never turned up.

Breaking the Law
I think Moses needs to write the 11th Commandment. Could everyone please agree on putting an end to the combination of a Series 2 breakfast with Series 3 wings. This is an injustice to the preservation of these vehicles. If you need more lights, add a set of driving lights to the front bumper. And while you're at it Moses please put a clause in about painting over all galvanized parts. Some people are trying to maintain the originality, not paint over them.

A Rover Portrait
A great artist and friend of mine, Gregg Simonton, uses his friends as inspiration and subject matter for a lot of his paintings. I was fortunate enough to be preserved on canvas. Gregg also used a bit of vintage Steve McQueen for the perfect pose. He actually painted two different portraits of me. I'm curious when I'm long gone will each one of my two kids have these hanging over their fireplaces. I doubt it.
