I just bought my first Land Rover 2 weeks ago. It's a 1995 Classic LWB. It has 108,000 miles on it and everything works, except the cruise control... amazing. I guess Lucas the prince of Darkness was out sick on the day they built this one! ha ha.... it's all stock with the exception of having been converted to coil springs.
I took it to Jaguar Purrformance in Los Gatos earlier this week to get a post inspection done so I could find out what I had bought. They've been in business for 15 years and work on Jaguars and Land Rovers exclusively... anyhow, I ended up having them do a major service on it. The owner, Rick, was very nice and told me the Rover was actually in pretty good shape.
I still need to repalce all the brake pads and the steering track link, which is badly bent (as we discovered.) I ordered the needed parts from Atlantic British and will be working on it when they come.
While this is my first English car, I am no stranger to them. I've had some experience working on and/or driving Cortinas, Minis, Super 7s, and Series Land Rovers. And having owned 4 French cars, I feel I am demented enough to finally own a British car.
One of the reasons I started this site was to educate myself more on the marque. I look forward to learning more about my new Rover and sharing info with you all!
