Sorry... we don't really have any mud holes here, so I took her to the beach, but had to keep her off the sand.

I hope you enjoy Ugly Betty... she turns heads all over town, and I use her as my daily driver.

sweet! did you get that on Ebay? looks familiar. why no sand?

randall · 02-06-2007, 12:17 PM

My FEET were in the sand!!! and there were Park Rangers around... We're not allowed to drive on the sand in this part of Southern California (further north by Santa Barbara you can).

Yup... this was on eBay, and purchased with the Buy it Now option. She's really great, and lot's of fun.

It is amazing how many examples there are of very old Land Rovers in fabulous condition. I can imagine it does make alot of people look and smile.

Enjoy!

That is absoulutely beautiful... That old series is great...... Someday I would love to get one!

Very nice, don't do a thing to change it. Series 1 doors are great, with the tops off it is like not having a door at all.

Thanks KevinNY. No changes expected to happen... just refurbishing the details... she runs great with 25,000 miles, but her springs are tired, and most rubber items are being replaced.

I've got 7 new seats, a perfect conditon frame, and very few parts to renew. I'm finding most of what I need online, and eBay. Thank gawd for eBay!

My first Land Rover was a '57 LWB PU. I loved it and took it a lot of places.

She didn't hold up well when I would go out off-roading with my friends though. Seems they all drove dirt bikes.
