This is actually a Rover that got away from me. In the midst of my NAS 110 sale, I tried to purchase this pristine truck from the previous owner. It is now for sale again, 10 months later, due to the current owner's financial situation - daughter getting married. Have a look, this is a great example of an early Series.

Vintage Series 2 Club Badge

Up for auction on eBay is a Series 2 Club badge. Starting price is $1.60. Unfortunately I own a Series 3. This is a steal.

Rover Porn Starring Sir Paul

I'm sure when this Rover goes up for auction it will fetch a few pounds. Hey Paul, why not donate it to The Pinehurst Land Rover Society.

Rover Cemetery - Don't Call it a Junk Yard

What distinguishes a collectible from ordinary junk is not always clear. Nonetheless, there are two primary characteristics that collectible items share: desirability and rarity. Not many people desire a rusted out Land Rover. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Still trying to find the locale of this resting place. RIP

Congrats - Baby Arrival

Peter Mullett, a PHLRS member, has just added another Rover to his stable. This Series I was purchased back in 2003. Our great mechanic, Mark Raspi, has carried out a ground up restoration - resulting in the stunning Land Rover you see below.
