I had a '61 Jaguar MK 2 that sat on a trailer from the day I brought it home, and a '52 MG-TD and Mini Cooper (a real one) that got mangled when the barn they were stored in collapse with 3 feet of snow on the roof. In 2000, I bought a Land Rover Defender 110, that had an engine fire, thinking I could make some good money, but ended up bringing it back to new, and drove it for 13 years. Paid $6K, sold it for $38K. I swore I would never do another collector car, until I swapped the crushed Mini, for a new Land Rover frame from Rovers North. on and on it goes.

I don't know what it is but I do love the old Land Rovers.

I do also, Eric. I bought my first one in 1964 and there's been so many since then I can't remember them all.

Someday I would like to own one. I remember the first time riding in one going to the Snake River I was 16 and I thought this was "cool"

Want to part with one....?

All of them require restoration. I bought a new frame but haven't decided which one I'm going to do.
