Hello from Halifax, Nova Scotia - Land Rovers Only

jimh · 04-07-2008, 04:07 PM

I have a 1959 series 11 Swb stationwagon, five years ago I flatbedded it out of an old whare house and spent the next 2.5 years bringing my braw tractor back to life. It was found on an old farm in New Brunswick and brought to Halifax, the last sticker was 1988.The only thing that worked were a few lights and the horn. When the paint was stripped, I found a landrover dealer sticker from Prince Edward Island, which may or may not be its origin. Now it has a marsland HD galvanized frame ,alternator conversion,11A transmission and new almost everything.The first year on the road I drove it summer and winter,but now only occasionally. The interior has yet to be finished, all in time. jim
