Rebuttal........
In one of the my Discovery books, the beginning talks of the start of The Rover Group as starting due to the original owner of a war surplus Jeep who used it primarily at his farm. When the vehicle was beginning to wear out more and more, there were no other available machinery to replace in.
He set out to make his own and the Land Rover was born, or made. That is a very abridged history , however. I do not claim to be a Land Rover historian, just a proud owner.
The United Kingdom is the birthplace of the Land Rover. As the homeland of Land Rover, it is only normal to see more of the more mature models out in the field. There are quite a few Land Rovers, both in the US and the UK, as well as around the world, some you can see in evidence on the auction sites on the Internet.
Personally,I had always wanted to fill a void with a tough vehicle along the lines of the Defender, but I ended up with a Discovery. Hopefully, I will either meet up with a expierenced mechanic to solve most of my minor problems or learn enough to fix the problems that I can keep my investment roadworthy for the next couple of years.
