GENUINE LAND ROVER ENTHUSIASTS

L-R: Justin Alley, Jim Chafe and Noah Sanders - Land Rover Bedford

or decades, Land Rovers have made adventures happen for their owners, from trips to nearby places to lesser-known locations throughout the world. These opportunities call upon Land Rover dealers to know the capabilities of their vehicles. Land Rover USA has encouraged them through the TReK competitions, held this summer at the Land Rover Experience Biltmore in Asheville, NC.

Of the 70 dealer teams at the qualifying trials, seven vied for the overall win in the finals: • • • • • • •

Land Rover Bedford (Bedford, NH) Land Rover Buckhead (Atlanta, GA) Land Rover Nashville (Brentwood, TN) Land Rover North Atlanta (Alpharetta, GA) Land Rover Palm Beach (West Palm Beach, FL) Land Rover Riverside (Riverside, CA) Land Rover Rochester (Rochester, NY)

Congratulations to the winning Land Rover Rochester team: Brandon D’Amico, John Morris and Ian Achtziger. We also commend our “home-

town” team of Justin Alley, Noah Sanders and Jim Chafe from Land Rover Bedford for making the finals. [There is no JLR dealer in Vermont. -ed.] We also send a Green Mountain shout-out to One Tree Planted, Shelburne, VT, which won a new Defender 110 in Land Rover’s Above & Beyond Service Awards for their environmental work. And we applaud Land Rover North America for creating the contest, which drew 300 submissions from US non-profits. Land Rover’s long and proud history includes providing vehicles used by emergency services and first responders throughout the world. This autumn, many parts of this country confronted significant storms, and through social media, we heard of Land Rover enthusiasts who sought to help others in times of need. In Texas, Joe Disalvatore of North Texas British and David Dousay of Xerbera, both in Dallas, organized a food and supply drive (bottled water, fuel, generators, etc.) to assist enthusiasts in Louisiana, where the devastation presented greater challenges. Flooding in New York City boroughs forced Carlos Melo, the owner of British Autoworks in the Bronx, to wade through high water just Joe Disalvatore’s Range Rover to get to his shop. There, he and his crew mopped up several inches of water in the shop to complete work on customers’ Land Rovers – which would be needed that day. We think it’s Fabulously British that Land Rover and its enthusiasts provide services that extend into this 73rd year of its history. /// Carlos Melo’s Range Rover Classic Holiday 2021

THE WELLY GOING FOR WARD / ALL GREEN

or 566 competitors from 35 nations, the Camel Trophy spanned 24 countries, thrilling millions of observers during its 20-year run from 1980–2000. Land Rovers ran in 17 of the “Legend of Adventure” events, which solidified the image of the company far beyond its sales numbers. For Nick Dimbleby, a Northamptonshire Range Rover Classic enthusiast, the competition forged a lifetime professional connection See page 56 in our gift selection NEW with Land Rover. The brilliant photographer and author has just published Camel Trophy: The Definitive History — a tribute that should appeal to every enthusiast. The Camel Trophy epitomized the Land Rover spirit. The international event forged once-in-a-lifetime experiences for competitors, who ranged from mechanics to accountants, physicians to engineers – professional race drivers were prohibited. For millions of enthusiasts, the Camel Trophy events represent the very essence of the Land Rover life. Nick Dimbleby grew up in the 1980s transfixed by the Camel Trophy. “I could not get enough of the shots of Sandglow Land Rovers in the jungle, wading through rivers up to their windshields… I wanted to be that photographer: chest-deep in water, camera in hand, photographing the Camel Trophy drivers through the open passenger window.” That wish came true between 1996–2000 when Nick worked as a member of the photographic team chronicling the rugged terrain of Borneo, Mongolia, Tierra del Fuego, Samoa and Tonga. His skills, artistry, gregarious nature and considerable talent have made him the go-to photographer for Land Rover, and his spectacular photos have graced the pages of Rovers Magazine. The storied event remains etched in the minds of US team participants. Daphne Green, the first US female competitor, remembers “30 hours straight of special tasks, insects, rain, mud, scorpions and a broken ankle,” but “26 years later, Camel Trophy remains very much alive in the friendships I’ve made.” Land Rover’s engineering made feats like the Camel Trophy possible; its engineering now looks forward to new adventures through the development of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), with a current focus on the Defender. FCEVs, which generate electricity from hydrogen to power an electric motor, should augment battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in reaching the JLR goal of zero emission vehicles by 2036. The big advantages in hydrogen-powered FCEVs rest with their high energy density, rapid refueling and minimal loss of range in extreme temperatures. Watch the video on your mobile device This technology would enable larger, longrange vehicles to operate effectively in very hot or very cold environments – the kinds of places where Defenders get called upon to work. ///

Dear Rovers North, The Sightings contest has been a family favorite for decades, and with my 4 daughters living across the country, they have taken to sending me sightings of Land Rovers when they spot them. The grandkids are being indoctrinated into the details of Land Rovers, so your job looks secure for the future!! David Ducat Lebanon, CT [We’ve run Sightings ever since the earliest days of publication, and it remains as much a fan favorite of readers as it is for the extended Ducat family. -ed.]

Dear Rovers North, It’s rare to have twins in my shop! The first Land Rover (top photo) was sent to me by the owner, and he and his grandson drove it back to PA a couple of weeks ago. The second one (bottom photo) is of the original owner who brought it here 10 years ago; when I completed the restoration recently, he wanted to see it before it went off to its current owner. Lanny Clark Colchester, VT [Thanks for sharing your superb restorations with our readers -ed.] Dear Rovers North, The Summer/Fall 2021 edition of Rovers Magazine has an article by Chris Holewski on Bill Cooper’s collection in NJ. Could you send this photo to Bill? I think he’ll find it interesting. The article mentions 4 Pinkies in the US. Do you know where the others are?

Dear Rovers North, The attached photo was taken on the first day of school, Fall, 2021, for Juliet and Pierce Hyams with “Winston,” our 1970 IIA. Also, I had a ‘66 IIA that you guys helped me with back around 1994. The kids’ favorite car was our 1999 Discovery II, “Red Rover,” in which they each came home from the hospital in Fairfax, VA. “Winston” recently came to us from a friend in Alexandria, VA, all the way to Louisiana where we now live.

Cheers, Chris Marrison Garrison, NY

Dear Rovers North,

First, thank you for selecting my submission for the “Coveted Mug” in the Summer/Fall 2021 edition! I was stoked to see my name in the Winners List!! I’m looking forward to drinking coffee from it and driving my Defender around Aldie, VA. Second, while reading that issue of Rovers Magazine, in the Letters to the Editor section, I saw the picture of a white Series Landy spotted in Malibu, CA, with the notable “BUDAWG” license plate. Amazingly, back in June while on vacation in California, I saw the same truck and snapped the pic below; it’s a cool classic and it seems the owner is a regular (or business owner) at the Malibu mart. If you haven’t been to this spot, it’s a must-do when visiting Malibu. Every day is a car show, with exotic cars and trucks from every genre and period in the lot. Thanks for making a great magazine and providing exceptional service for Landy enthusiasts!

We are first timers here. We so much enjoy your magazine. We are new-ish Rover owners (1969 109 Series IIA) and also new-ish subscribers to Log & Timber Home Living magazine. These 2 interests intersected in the June/July 2021 issue of Log & Timber – see attached photos! Excited to see a Rover featured in the *centerfold.* We'd love to join the Mug Club :)

Frank Cardamone Aldie, VA [Congratulations on your winning Sighting and for your recommendation for a Malibu visit. Sometime during a frigid winter month in New England, I’ll try and take up your suggestion. -ed.]

Laura & Carmin Kalorin Raleigh, NC [You’re joining thousands of “old-ish” enthusiasts in your love for the Land Rover and Sightings. Congratulations! -ed.]

Dear Rovers North, It’s funny what my subconscious captures as I age. I noted this a year or so ago, but – again, age – promptly forgot it. Until now. Last night I was watching The Meg on Prime. It’s a rollicking Jason Statham flick, one where he doesn’t really do any beating up of people. It’s set around a futuristic, new underwater research facility. Being underwater, it, of course, has doors. This movie stars Li Bingbing, Ruby Rose and Jessica McNamee, yet I noticed the door hinges. You might recognize these hinges – are they yours? Are you Hollywood suppliers now? And what’s next? I’m going through pics of the International Space Station now to see what they’re using as hinges. Lyndon Nolan Boise, ID [There are some secrets we cannot share. Mum’s the word. – ed.] Dear Rovers North, While traveling in Tuscany, I enjoyed seeing this most unusual fire truck at L’Eroica in Gaiole. I asked to take a photo and the fireman immediately agreed to pose for it. I thought your readers might enjoy this.

Dear Rovers North, Here is a photo of our 1960 Series II from a Wheels and Wings event in Millville, NJ. Thanks for a great magazine. I really enjoy reading it.

recently met with Alan Koslowski, the Rovers North warehouse manager, to catch a glimpse into the inner workings of Rovers North. Alan oversees all of the warehouse shipping and receiving, from UPS and FedEx to tractor-trailer freight. With shipping supply chains off kilter due to the pandemic, driver shortages and rising shipping costs, Alan’s work is crucial in keeping shipping charges as low as possible while making sure that each part is Alan Koslowski packed, crated and shipped correctly, so each item reaches its destination undamaged and on time. Alan’s appreciation for his team was apparent when I asked him to tell me about a bigger-than-expected delivery that had just arrived. “When its a little more complicated like that, then we just kind of battle through it. We've got a good group of guys that really step up. Everybody collaborates. Lot of ideas that come together so we can unload everything safely.” Alan has been working for Rovers North for about eight years, having stepped into the role of Warehouse Manager about two years ago when Steven “Nelly” Nelson retired. ““Nelly” was with Rovers North for 20 years,” said Bridget Bailey, the Rovers North Administrative Contact, “and although we could never replace him, Alan has done a fantastic job of stepping into the position, organizing and motivating the Warehouse team in both pick/pack and in truck freight, and has worked diligently to make sure our shipping and handling costs are as minimized as possible, which in turn allows us to pass those savings along to our customers and minimize increases as the market value of every aspect rises.” I asked Alan about the transition to his new role. “When Andrea and Mark approached me, I was like, absolutely!” he replied. “I went from working with about 350 people at my other job down to about 30.” He chuckled. “The personalities here, from the team members and the owners, are out here with one goal. When you come into a company like this, and when you see that the people who built it are right in the front of it all, working it and not just sitting up in an office, you respect the people you work for a lot more. This is not just a team, its really like a family, and that’s how people treat each other here.” “Andrea and Mark encouraged me to stretch my capabilities and trusted me with significant responsibilities. I really appreciate working for them; when you wake up in the morning and you look forward to coming to work, that’s a big deal.” “It’s kind of funny, I was never really an automotive kind of person” he added. “I'm more of a hands-on, hammer and screwdriver kind of guy.” He laughed. “With all the parts we handle I'm definitely learning a lot, which I enjoy. I used to do chocolate. So I went from chocolate to Land Rovers. Definitely a big difference!” Alan’s hands-on capabilities are evident in his overseeing of all the careful packing and crating that must be done before each part ships to its new owner. Some items require the building of a special crate to make sure they arrive safely and undamaged.

It’s our goal to make sure customers get their parts in a timely manner

“When it comes to warehousing, the key is having a good control of the parts, inventorying the parts, proper warehousing of the parts. And just movement - making it flow, right from picking to packing, to your packing materials, to going right out the door. You want to make sure that your customers are satisfied. You can’t just sit there and say, we have this part, but when you go to its stocking location, its not there. So, inventory control.” As we are chatting, two of the Rovers North dogs come racing into the room, barking and playing. Alan adds, laughing, “And dog control.” The dogs are definitely part of the Rovers family. I asked Alan if he drives a Rover. “I would like one!” he smiled. “It's down the road. I mean, when you see some of the ones pulling in here from some of the customers, you're like wow. I'd like to have that in my driveway!” We both laugh. “Yeah, it's in the forecast. And then we've got them all parked out back too.” I couldn’t agree more: it's fun to look at the parking lot! I wondered if there was anything Alan would want the Rovers Magazine readership to know about. “It’s our goal to make sure customers get their parts in a timely manner. That’s what we’re trying to do.” “When I listen to some of the sales guys here on the phone, its just like I said, they care. They do their best. Here, if you call in and

order, or you have a question, you’re going to get the same person over and over,” Alan noted. “And if they’re out that day, you’ll get somebody just as qualified, and the knowledge is right there. They build a relationship.” I asked about his vision for the next five years. “Wow. That's a tough one.” He replied. “From my perspective, I think we want to work on perfecting what we have. Things are working well, but there's always room for improvement. Just looking around and asking, what could we do better?” When I asked Alan about what he does every day, his face brightened into a wide smile. “I just try to keep the atmosphere good and keep the flow going. Communicate with the employees and be open to their ideas too. That's important. They're the ones doing the work!” “There’s a good understanding that everyone is recognized for the good job they do, so we let them know we're doing the best we can today, and tomorrow is another day.”///

Daktari Lives By Michael Kittell

grew up three miles from the Canadian border, the son of a mother who was a subject of the Commonwealth; thus began my love affair with English cars. From my house, I saw daily-driver Austins crossing the border from Montreal, followed south by a parade of Aston Martins; the experience solidified my lust for British automobiles. When my older brother rolled into the driveway with a diamond-in-therough ‘56 Austin Healy 100 4M, I was hooked and looking away was no longer an option. During high school, a stint with Triumph TR3s and TR4s introduced me to rust and corrosion – and their effect on these fine British vehicles. A desire to move closer to the mountains led me to a small town in north central Vermont and to the campus of Johnson State College. I reveled in the breathtaking views and enjoyed the happy people who also loved the great outdoors and skiing. The students brought with them a collection of rusted, well-seasoned vehicles to put on display amongst the more formal lawn art created before or after ski season. While accompanying a friend, a Filipina named Juliet, and her St. Bernard, named Ben, to the mechanic’s, the local authorities flagged her Volvo as “unsafe to drive” due to pervasive rust. Alfa Romeos and discarded, dismantled VWs littered the campus. Sometimes engine wear signaled the end of a car’s journey, but most often, due to Vermont’s long winters and salted roads, rust had the final say. Word soon spread across campus about a guy called Mark in Westford who had vehicles from England that did not rust because they were made from aluminum. At the time, I had a Toyota FJ40 in stage one of deterioration. When the FJ40 was left on Martha’s Vineyard after it had its beach pass revoked for… maybe driving where maybe it shouldn’t have been, Mark’s legendary aluminum cars became more of a necessity, and I began a pilgrimage to find the fledgling Rovers North. Who was this magician named Mark Letorney? When I arrived at a barn in Westford, many ex-military imports stood in the driveway of this rural Vermont farm property. I spotted a guy with black curly hair, a big smile and a farmer’s tan. 8

As I made my way around the beautiful post and beam barn, I spied a fleet Land Rovers. I was in heaven! I quickly discovered that Rovers North had become a Mecca for Johnson State College students with rusted-out vehicles. My friend Judy showed me a photo of a Series IIA 109” flipped on its side next to a boulder in Colorado with her John Denver-looking boyfriend beside it. As she showed me the 8x10 glossy I noticed no rot on the undercarriage of the vehicle. I can only describe it as a revelation – Mark and Rovers North had uncovered the perfect vehicle for me – I was hooked! Rovers North December 2018

1964 Series IIA from Cambridge, VT

It took a while, but in the early ‘90s, I found a ‘64 Series IIA with a snowplow for sale in Cambridge VT. I sold the snowplow, removed the hardtop and bought a khaki soft top and hoop set from Rovers North. I’d planned to store the Rover during the winter months, but when a girlfriend returned from Greece mid-winter and needed a vehicle, the hardtop went back on the Land Rover, and she drove it to work at the local newspaper every day for the rest of the season. This same IIA ferried us to our wedding in Stowe, VT, as well as trucking many dogs to and from the Stowe River for swimming and doggie exercising. Throughout the years, I would go to a pickup window at Rovers North to buy parts (which surprises many Land Rover friends in the west who think of Rovers North only as a parts distributor). The sight of green and white Genuine Parts boxes always excited me more than the struggle to remove the old parts and install the new ones. My move west precipitated the sale of the beloved IIA, as I didn’t want to drive it 2,500 miles across the country. Fast forward 20 years – I am now divorced and live on a 22-acre homestead in Montana situated on a long, winding dirt road whose conditions change with the seasons. To navigate the summer washboard roads and the winter snow drifts, I needed a versatile, solid vehicle: obviously, another Land Rover. I did a lot of shopping over six months and found many Santanas, but not so many North American Series. I wanted a IIA and finally found one that had lived in Oregon, made its way to Seattle and wound up with a guy named Boris in New Jersey.

When I started up the rebuilt engine... it ran as smoothly as when it had left the assembly line.

I purchased the vehicle sight unseen (not recommended). With many parts from Rovers North and a rebuilt head from Sean Jones at Blue Ridge Rovers in Asheville, NC, I began my next Land Rover journey of putting it together and making it into a modern-day driver. In the construction industry, where I work, we’re taught to “only expect what you inspect.” With the head removed, I thought I might as well rebuild the 2.25 petrol engine. I tossed out the sacrificial New Jersey rings and replaced them with STD rings, honed the cylinder walls for the new STD pistons. I replaced the connecting rod bearings, changing the tappet guides and cleaned the burrs off the cam. I bolted down the new, refurbished head and installed a new Rovers North exhaust manifold. My property sits at an altitude of 5,500 feet, so I used a Rovers North conversion kit to re-jet the Weber carburetor. After using the hand crank to build up oil pressure, I adjusted the valves and installed a new set of plugs. I also took the time to rectify the errors made by previous mechanics. The float in the gas tank had been installed backward, so it hit the side of the tank – no wonder it always read “empty.” The spring on the yellow, 4-wheel drive high range knob was also incorrect, such that the Rover would not come out of 4-wheel drive. With these fixes completed and a fresh Optima Yellow Top battery with a safety switch installed, the Rover was ready to go. When I started up the rebuilt engine, it erased 40 years of my life. It ran as smoothly as when it had left the assembly line. I then moved onto stronger leaf springs and rock sliders. My Austin Healy-owning brother drove it on some notso-conventional roads and described it as having the torque of a bulldozer with the movement of a Swiss watch. A lot of phone calls to the techs at Rovers North and a lot of twoday parcel deliveries went into this rebuild.

I now have a Montana license plate that reads “DAKTARI,” honoring the 1960s television show of the same name whose protagonist drove a IIA. It has gathered attention locally, most recently from an Englishman whose father was a machinist for Land Rover in the UK. I belong to a Land Rover Club: Montana Rovers. This club has at least a few series Rovers that all have Rovers North parts and boxes in the back of them at the gatherings. Rovers North has kept a lot of these vehicles running and local clubs help keep Land Rover enthusiasts together. ///

ob Owens, Jackson Hole, WY, grew up in the “one stoplight town” of Sonora, CA, and he thought that the “beautiful Sierra Mountains” would always be his home. Little did he know what path his life would take, or just how Land Rovers would help shape his life. “As kids,” Bob recalled, “my Dad had two different International Scouts, a ’62 and a ’67. I can remember sitting in the back with a gas can for our small boat.” At age 15, Bob started working for a horse trainer, then as a gas jockey at a Chevron station. While attending California Polytechnic in San Luis Obispo, he managed a service station, which proved very helpful as his daily transportation was a Bugeye Sprite. “I once had three Bugeyes! Your mental capabilities are questionable at one; when you own three, there’s no question,” Bob said. The move from AustinHealey Sprites to Land Rovers came easily. “Between reading Hemingway or Born Free, the book or the movie, I knew of Land Rovers. In the early ‘90s, I found a ’60 Series II 88” Land Rover for sale, advertised by an Auto Trader in the Santa Cruz area, 150 miles from my home. It had no brakes and required a jump start, but I bought it. I rented a dolly and towed it home. Years later, my kids drove it to high school. This opened the floodgates to a life with many different Land Rover models. “I bought different SWB and three or four LWB models, fixed them up and sold them. I found a Discovery I in Mexico. I’ve had two Defender 110s and an NAS Defender 90 in Arles Blue, which I had converted to automatic; it now lives in the Hamptons.”

In the UK, the Defender 130 could be configured in different specifications through Special Vehicle Operations (SVO)

Other family members and granddaughters have been equally captivated by the marque. Eventually, corporate life with Sunoco moved Bob and his family to Philadelphia, where he served as CEO, but he never lost interest in finding the perfect Land Rover. At last, it appeared in Biloxi, MS – a nonrunning, 1988 RoW 130” with RHD. Bob flew south to look at it, then promptly rented a truck and towed it back home. It had a 3.5L V8 and a repaired bulkhead, with little corrosion on the chassis, but a bad fuel pump and a leaky gas tank. Bob called its RHD “too scary for today’s traffic.” For the challenging task of this custom Land Rover, Bob turned to Eugene Smith, a skilled craftsman who has spent 40 years as a fabricator and custom car builder; Eugene now runs a small shop in the Philadelphia area. Together, they designed and engineered this special 130”. Bob admitted, “I’ve been working on cars long enough to know that I need to plan in advance and actually adhere to my plans. Then I get in the middle of the plans and violate all my rules.” The 130” started out as a MoD rebuild, but Bob wanted more power, so first he bought a 4.2 engine and transmission out of a Range Rover Classic. As he intended to use the 130 at his home in Wyoming, he decided he needed even more power, and finally settled on a crate GM LS engine combined with a 6-speed transmission. For cooling, Eugene installed a custom dual fan, four-core radiator. Eugene could see that the original frame had a bend, so he ordered a new one from Rovers North, along with heavy-duty springs and shocks. First, he converted the 130” from RHD to LHD. He also swapped the rear drums SVO Defender 130 Quadtech Fire Rescue Unit

for slotted discs and installed heavy-duty radius arms front and rear. Eugene’s fabricating skills allowed him to create mounts for a larger capacity fuel tank and a complete stainless steel exhaust system. Outside the Defender, Eugene created a custom external cage and roof rack, fog and driving light mounts, a swing-out spare tire mount and a front skid plate. He fabricated the front bumper and winch mount and, at the rear, created a custom trailer hitch, rear skid plate and work lights. Inside, Eugene installed a vintage heater and air conditioning unit, a custom dashboard he designed, allowing for air conditioning and heater vents, a Land Rover Td5 dash center from Rovers North, a Dakota dash cluster and a custom fuse box. There’s a raft of custom features: front door speaker pods, custom center console, rear underthe-seat toolbox, an air recovery system, a 12v DC to 110v AC inverter and heated seats front and rear, just to name a few. Eugene described his shop as “a studio, as I mainly only do a few larger automotive projects a year. I mainly deal with fabrication; as a very small shop I can concentrate on modification/customization that weighs down larger shops. I have built many different types of cars, from Series Rovers to complete custom Ford Broncos.”

What is it that Bob Owens likes about his Defender? “I have to say, that’s the toughest question of our interview,” he said.” I ask myself that when things are frustrating me when working on them from underneath the vehicle. It’s the iconic look, the design from 1948 onwards to the 2016. The new Defender doesn’t appeal to me as much. The new Range Rover Supercharged my wife has is remarkable, but its not the same as the older Defender.” Bob mused, “I drove 2,100 miles in the 130” after all the work Eugene completed in Philadelphia. It was a pleasure to drive. You don’t see many Defenders, and when I drive it, I always get a wave or a thumbs up. It’s sure not logic!” ///

t every large wedding, there’s a table at the periphery populated by relatives the family believes it must invite but wishes it could have culled from the list. Seated far from the head table, those distant cousins can barely see the head table. As a Land Rover enthusiast, I know how they feel. For 30 years, every September, the organizers of the British Invasion have welcomed every marque of British vehicle to fields in Stowe, VT. This year, anoraks had the opportunity to see rarities like a Gordon-Keeble and an Alvis at the center of the show field Where were the Land Rovers? Once again, far, far away. But it didn’t matter – the few dozen Series Land Rovers, Defenders, Discoverys, Range Rover Classics and an FC 101 entertained the nearly 1,000 attendees and drew outsized attention away from the highly-polished sports cars and saloons. Over the decades, Land Rovers have provided much of the fun at the event. Rovers North once created an off-road demonstration course that piled hundreds

of eager passengers into 2000 Rover Polo event Defenders, Range Rovers and – thanks to Tim Hussey – even a Camel Trophy Discovery, to show the off-road prowess of these vehicles. One year saw a trials course set up in full view of the show field. Another year, attendees watched a full match of Rover Polo, featuring teams of Series Land Rovers charging up and down the polo field in low range, whacking a beach ball with brooms towards a goal line. Then came the infamous Marque vs. Marque tug of war. With testosterone and estrogen flowing, the Land Rover attendees found themselves matched against the (original) Mini enthusiasts. Given how teeny you have to be to fit into an Austin/Morris Mini,

we boldly predicted victory – until we found ourselves yanked back across the starting line by delirious Mini owners. As we examined their lineup for WWE ringers, we found a MiniMoke churning up Belcher’s Discovery II wins People’s Choice Award the grounds at full for its class reverse throttle. A dozen of us lifted it in the air and carried it into the woods. This year’s British Invasion had a more sedate atmosphere. For the Land Rover community, it meant we lined up by artificial designations: Series Land Rovers, Defenders, Military Land Rovers and Range Rovers. Discoverys seemed to be left out in the cold, but that didn’t stop Rhonda and Gregg Betcher, Franklin, VT, from clearly having a great time with their ’04 Discovery II. “We purchased it when we lived aboard our boat in San Diego,” noted Gregg. “After our first outing in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, we knew we wanted to do more backroad and off-road exploration.” With an iKamper X-Cover rooftop tent, a Whynter

fridge, a 13-gallon water tank and a shower tent/portable toilet, they’re ready for overlanding. “We have a Rovers North Proline winch bumper in our garage, waiting for a 12,000 lb. Warn winch to arrive,” noted Gregg. The Discovery joins other Land Rovers (a Range Rover and an LR3) in the Betcher family fleet, but this Discovery II became the People’s Choice Winner for its class. Earl Moffat, West Stockbridge, MA, has a long history as a customer of Rovers North. He drove up in his Range Rover P38A, a model that sold very well for Land Rover but does not make many appearances at Land Rover events.

The few Defenders ran the gamut in terms of kit. At one extreme sat Steve Dick, Hyde Park, VT, and his ’94 NAS Defender 90 (#1731), which he purchased new. For 23 years, Steve worked at Rovers North (to which he has recently returned); there his Defender gained a 300 Tdi engine to replace the original V8. The replacement motor now has about 270,000 miles on it. The Defender, now configured as a pickup, sports a personalized license plate (“D”) – only possible in a small-population state like Vermont. Along with Steve, it was great to meet up with Rovers North’s Andy Lopez, Arthur Patsouris, Gene Schubert, Nick Cota and Nate Brooks. It’s always enjoyable to connect faces with the voices I hear on the phone. David and Elaine Russ, Lyme, NH, sat at the other extreme in “Gadget,” their ’97 Defender 90 with a Cummins 2.8 diesel (its 4th Above: Jeffrey Aronson, Andy Lopez engine swap), tuned for 168 hp, and a TREMEC 4050 transmission (its 5th) to handle the 310 ft lbs of torque. Inside, “Gadget” contains just about every bit of kit possible for a 92.5 inch wheelbase, from lockers and dual batteries to a Wilwood rally e-brake and a custom interior. David and Elaine also participated in the “Tailgate Competition” the following day, featuring refreshing fluids for people and machines. Rovers Magazine’s Dave Sweetapple, Brattleboro, VT, drove up in his trusty Defender 130 pickup, which drew much praise for its “working Rover” appearance. Noel Bishop, Fletcher, VT, shared the sounds of his ’86 RHD diesel Land Rover 110 Commercial with the appreciative crowd. 20

Gary Daniels, Allentown, PA, showed off a lovely ’50 Series I that had enjoyed 30 years under the same ownership in the UK. He had found it through Williams Classics in Conwy, North Wales, and thoroughly enjoyed sharing it with an admiring audience of British car buffs. Dan Foley, Fairfax, VT, brought his Bronze Green ’58 Series I that has delighted British Invasion attendees over many years. Parked near “Rickman,” my, ahem, patina 109”, the contrast in condition could not have been sharper. Stuart Crisp, Plattsburgh, NY, shared his rare bird, a ’66 Series IIA Military FFR [Fitted for Radio]. The racks of receivers and similar gear reflected how far communication has come in 50+ years. “I’m missing only a couple of transmitter items,” noted Stuart: “they can’t be imported completed into the US as they share frequencies reserved here for some National Guard units.” (I’m pretty confident he’ll find a way.) A most interesting Series IIA was driven from Stoneham, ME, by Derek Downes. His ’71 109” was assembled in Costa Rica. As it has a Dormobile top and unique seats – it may have left the Costa Rica CKD assembly plant kitted out as a camper! Derek, who has owned it for 6 years, found it in Costa Rica with a cracked block on the 2.25 diesel; it had been left outdoors with no coolant in cold-enough weather. He had a 200 Tdi installed and has driven it from Maine to Key West twice since purchasing it.

As Derek is a homesteader, he has the perfect vehicle for his chosen life. In sharp contrast to the lovingly restored sportscars and saloons, each with a pre-printed placard that read “Please Do Not Touch,” the Land Rover enthusiasts opened their vehicles for exploration – literally, in the case of Chris Velardi and “Kraken,” his ’75 FC 101 that won its class in the People’s Choice competition. Mike Capozza, Portland, ME and Pat Thibodeau, Leeds, ME, both demonstrated that DIY enthusiasts can produce majestic examples of Series IIAs yet remain generous in their willingness to share their vehicles with admiring attendees. Fans of modified Land Rovers owe thanks to Paul Memont, Methuen, MA, who drove up in his Range Roverpowered, much modified Series Land Rover. Paul created the Land Rover Hybrid & Modified Facebook group, which has now grown to 16,000 members worldwide. My weekend with Rickman provided many surprises. First, it made the 230-mile trip without incident (although it took an additional hour above Google’s estimated drive time). Then, when I returned from getting my registration packet, I found that someone had carefully unrolled a shop towel in my front seat, found my pen atop the bulkhead, and wrote a love note to the 109”. Finally, it clearly garnered the sympathy vote as it won third (“third,” not “turd”) place in the People’s Choice class competition. The return of the British Invasion joins the All-British Car Show in Portland, OR [which enjoyed a tremendous turnout of Land Rovers -ed] and British By the Sea gathering in Waterford, CT, in celebrating – as safely as possible – Land Rovers and their enthusiast owners. Let’s hope that this revival can continue into 2022. /// Holiday 2021

rom the earliest days of production, Land Rover presented itself as the perfect vehicle for the farm or estate – “The World’s Most Versatile Vehicle.” The company saw to it that it had a presence at every major agricultural show in England, Scotland and Wales, and promoted Land Rovers heavily in rural publications such as Country Life. Those 80” wheelbase Series Is could not carry very much, but they could pull a wagon of most anything that far exceeded the vehicle’s weight – and they did, across most any terrain. The equestrian world took notice and, to this day, Land Rover reinforces its connection with the requirements of breeders, trainers, estate owners, horse farms and competitors. Jeff and Anne Morrison, Mt. Jackson, VA, along with their “All American mutt, Ernie” a herd of horses and a fleet of Land Rovers, live this connection on their Three Socks Farm. Holiday 2021

Above: Jeff Morrison’s daily chores include driving a Range Rover L322

Jeff Morrison was born and raised 13 miles away in Woodstock, VA. “I’m the tie to the area,” he said, “as my family owned the local Chrysler dealership. That business grew out of my great-grandfather’s Woodstock Garage, founded in 1926. That’s how I got into automobiles. Anne and I met at James Madison University and got married in 2011. I graduated with a major in Business Management and worked at the family dealership until its sale in 2019. The proceeds of the sale enabled us to buy our farm.” Although born and raised as a “Chrysler guy,” Jeff wanted to move Anne “away from an old Jeep. After all, a Jeep cannot compete with a Range Rover.” He bought their first one, an ’04 L322, from a city owner north of Mt. Jackson. “The owner believed that the engine needed replacement after a blown head gasket. He had already replaced the radiator and water pump, and had lost interest in potentially spending tmore. But he didn’t want to junk it or hose someone on a sale, so he was very honest about its condition. In the end, it turned out to have only a leaking coolant temperature sensor.” “We’re not in a wealthy part of the state,” noted Jeff. “Initially, I worried that there might be a negative response to the Range Rover, but that hasn’t been the case at all. Neighbors and clients are really interested in it, as it’s a rare vehicle around here.” When it came time to look for its successor, “We shopped for months to find the right one. We bought an ’11 Autobiography sightunseen from Land Rover Denver through an auction. It had been a California car most of its life before being moved to Colorado. There did not appear to be any body or interior issues.” Yet buying anything sight-unseen can be a risk, and Jeff “had a moment” when the Rover first appeared. 24

“When it arrived in Virginia, it barely drove off the rollback truck! It was smoking and running something awful. Happily, the issue was a stuck-open fuel injector. It’s a sublime experience to drive it, offroad or on-road. In my opinion, there’s nothing like a Range Rover on the road today. Anyone who rides in it understands why we have it. It has aged very well, and even after 10 years, it hangs in there really well. It’s beautiful from every angle. The design execution is very good, and the air suspension is fantastic – it makes the Range Rover as comfortable in the bog as it would be on Fifth Avenue.” Anne calls it “the little black dress of vehicles!” Jeff mused, “We loved the Range Rover experience so much that we shopped around for 6–8 months to help my mother find the right Range Rover Sport L320. We were fortunate to find one owned and maintained by an enthusiast. She loves it so much she’s considering a new one.”

When you own and operate a farm, though, you want the genuine farm vehicle – a Series Land Rover. The Morrison fleet has recently grown to include a ’71 Series IIA Hardtop. Jeff noted “it’s been a Virginia Land Rover for its entire life” – it had previously been a work truck on a peach orchard farm. “It looked pretty nice to start with, but I could see it needed a frame. So I ordered a galvanized one from Rovers North, along with a hoop set, Exmoor canvas top and tailgate to convert it to a soft top. I can’t wait to start on it!” Anne laughs, “He’s into horsepower, I’m into horses.” She grew up on a sheep and cattle farm in Bedford, VA, “but we always had some horses. As a toddler, I was scared of them, but my mother made sure I got over that phobia early! I started taking formal lessons at age 10, riding English and participating in fox hunts. By the time I turned 12, I started showing more and I was hooked.” “My first pony in 1998 was a bay named Alvin. We competed together on a regional circuit, and after college at James Madison University [another History major! -ed] I retired him from competing and he became my first lesson pony. Alvin taught many, many kids how to ride. We would go over colors and markings – he had a blaze and three white socks. He lived to age 26 and died the February before we bought this farm in October, 2018. The farm’s name is in honor of Alvin.

The entrepreneurial spark that inspired Jeff’s great-grandfather to take a chance on himself so long ago also lives on in the Morrisons’ new dream. Jeff recounted, “The sale of the dealership enabled us to buy our farm. For the love of my dear wife and my admiration for her business, I wanted us to buy the property. “It had been for sale for quite a while,” Anne recounted in a phone interview. ”It’s right around the corner from the first farm where I taught professionally. The previous owner had focused on importing Friesian horses as his principal business, but their market had dried up in the ‘09 recession. What spurred the whole thing was the neighboring property becoming available, so we ended up buying both adjacent farms. Most of the 45 acres is pasturage with small sections of woods in which we’ve created riding trails.” While having the right space is important, building relationships is even more so. Anne’s care and consideration for both horses and riders shines through in her approach to running the farm. “We changed the focus of our equestrian farm from maximizing the number of horses we could board to developing close relationships with the owners and their horses,” she recalls. “While most of our clients are local to Shenandoah Country, we do have clients from as far away as New Jersey.”

Naturally, fairness is an essential principle in the Morrisons’ relationship. If Jeff can own two Land Rovers, then Anne determined that she could own three horses: “One is for lessons and the others are personal. JR is a 17-year-old Thoroughbred gelding, Gemma, who fox hunts, is a 10-year-old Connemara/Quarter Horse mare and Tess, my lesson horse, is an 18-year-old Holsteiner mare. It turns out, horsepower and horses go pretty well together. A Series IIA, a Range Rover and an equestrian farm – just the life that Land Rover envisioned when it designed and engineered its first models. The spirit is alive and well at Three Socks Farm. ///

After the New Wears Off By Jeffrey Aronson Photos: Bob Steele, Bill Rickman III

ver the decades, Bob Steele, Bon Air, VA, has owned over 30 Land Rovers, including Series Land Rovers, Range Rovers Classics, Range Rover L322s and even an LR2, but never a Defender – until June, 2020. An architect in Robbin and Bob Steele Richmond, VA, Bob has been off-roading in all of his Land Rovers for decades. His Range Rover Classic, dubbed “Forge On,” became a staple at events run by the Rover Owners Association of Virginia (ROAV), for which he’s served as president, a board member and an active volunteer. Not surprisingly, he’s also been a staunch advocate for the Land Rover marque. “I really loved my three different Series Land Rovers,” Bob said in phone interview. “I was a naysayer about the NAS Defenders of the ‘90s. Coil springs, big engine, soft top? ‘Why mess with the Series formula?’ I wondered. I actually never owned a Defender because I skipped that generation.”

When the new Defender became available, Bob decided to take the plunge; his 2020 Defender 110 turned out to be the first one delivered in central Virginia. The pandemic and its worldwide impact on manufacturing and delivery delayed its arrival; his 110 arrived at its European delivery port in March, 2020, but didn’t make it to Land Rover Richmond until June 9. 25,600 miles and 15 months later, Bob and his wife Robbin remain delighted with their latest Land Rover. No sooner did Bob take delivery than he and Robbin embarked on a 1,200-mile roundtrip journey to Nantucket for an extended vacation. In a phone interview, Bob recalled, “I was very grateful to Matt Bigelow and his Land Rover Richmond staff for prepping and delivering the Defender for our trip.” Nonetheless, there were oddball issues to sort out. The clock kept reverting to UK time and the text appearing on the center screen seemed to be one of the many East European languages. Apple Play would not work initially, nor would the personal recognition capability. Fortunately, the dealership managed to secure the software fixes. [Since then, Bob noted that the over-the-air updates have been seamless and no additional issues have arisen. -ed.] “The many cameras, the ability to manually control gearing in low range and determine which lockers are engaged is sweet!” Bob noted. Robbin appreciates “the comfortable seats, the roomy interior with plenty of space for our dog and all of our gear.” “The fold-flat rear seats make for an incredible amount of space,” she recalls, “and the many charging/USB ports are also very handy. We love the open front dash and ability to stow things.” For Bob, “there is little doubt our base-level upholstered interior with no sunroof is perfect for us. I also appreciate the 6-cylinder P400 30

Ingenium engine, the air suspension system and its ability to adjust automatically to so many driving and towing circumstances.” “Of the 30-plus Land Rovers I have owned over the last three decades, this is the best package for my needs. While our Range Rover Autobiography is far more luxurious and offers a smoother ride on the open highway, I prefer the Defender.” “I could have sold a dozen of these on Nantucket,” Bob observed. “Everywhere we went, there were plenty of admirers. So many people took pictures and wanted to learn about it. No exaggeration – at least 100 people stopped to take pictures and talk to me about it. Locals drove from all over the island to see it. Word got out about it and each day people would be stopped in front of our rented cottage – many of these locals are die-hard Land Rover enthusiasts. The only negative comment I heard was about the ‘odd white box’ on the rear glass. Overall, there were rave reviews.” Bob’s wheel and tire setup was 19” wheels shod with 32” Goodyear All-terrains. That made for interesting driving on Nantucket’s soft sand beaches. Bob noted that “the deep soft sand is a sore spot for the Defender. While it has close to 12” of clearance, the angle of the suspension arms extending to each corner become sand plows or anchors in soft sand. The undercarriage, being pretty much a flat plate, also causes the body to float in that deep sand. So, I sense deep, powdery snow might create the same issues. However, while I can point to that small design issue, the positives far outweigh that one flaw I could find in its off-road capability. I bet that 18” steel rims and mud tires would allow better tire coverage at lower pressure.” (Indeed, Bob installed 18” alloy wheels with 33” BF Goodrich KM3s and a 1” lift, and reports significant improvement. -ed) Holiday 2021

Towing up steep passes, with their resulting descents, did not affect the Defender.

On Bob’s next long trip, he trailered a Series Land Rover out west to meet up with the Oxford Across America team of David Short and Mike McCaig. (See Winter 2021 issue. -ed) If the trailer’s extra weight inhibited the Defender’s pace in any way, Bob never experienced it. This past September, Bob and Robbin trailered their 24-ft Airstream – all 4,651 pounds of it – with the Defender from Virginia to Moab, UT, for the Great American Rover Rally (GARR). “I drove across Kansas in a major wind storm at 70 mph with a 30-mph crosswind,” Bob recounts. “The extra length and width, combined with the independent suspension, make it more like an American pickup in terms of trailering.

Towing up steep passes, with their resulting descents, did not affect the Defender. Towing a load over the Rockies can be disconcerting, but I had no issues.” It’s the off-roading at Moab that truly demonstrated to Bob the capabilities of his new Defender. “Over the nine days of the GARR, I learned a lot more every time I drove it. The preset control settings for off-road are good, but what really changed the vehicle for me was that I could program my own settings. I felt their settings demanded too many rpms, so I created new ones.” If he could change anything about the Defender, what would it be? “I don’t like Land Rover’s concealed winch; it’s too low to the ground, and out east, it will get too muddy and wet all the time. I want to be able to see my cable spool onto the winch. Also, I wish the lower body panels (below the 18” mark) could be easily removed so as not to ding them up in more demanding off-road situations.” Continued on page 35

“At the end of the day, the new Defender is still a tactile experience; if that’s what you love about the Defender experience, the new Defender will work for you. Or you can put it in the automatic settings and the vehicle will cover for your ineptitude or inexperience.” Bob summed up this thoughts. “Land Rover has done a great job with universal appeal and marketability while meeting all the safety and emissions regulations of their different markets. In Moab, I was living the dream in 105-degree heat. The fact that this Land Rover allows us to drive across the country and tackle the most challenging trails – that’s a game changer. The new Defender is far better than I expected, and it’s allowed me to be able to go beyond my expectations.” ///

Jim Koenigsaeker photographing in the Amboseli National Park in Kenya. Amboseli is a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, Biosphere Reserve. Jim Koenigsaecker uses photography to advocate for causes he is passionate about including the conservation of African wildlife.

im Koenigsaeker, Sacramento, CA, grew up on a farm in Muscatine, IA. “We had a little green International Scout pickup on our farm,” he recalled in a phone interview. “My one channel on TV carried Wild Kingdom, so I came to like Land Rovers.” He calls his ’65 Series IIA a “Frankentruck,” and has owned “parts of it” for 25 years or more. “I bought the ‘barn find’ RHD pickup about six years ago and swapped out a bunch of parts, including the motor, drivetrain and top. The Rover was a faculty vehicle shipped to the US for emissions testing, hence its ‘X’ plate. Another reason I like this Land Rover is that the factory had obviously build it from parts it had lying around, including a SWB Australian military chassis.” Mark Twain once worked for the local newspaper in Muscatine, and Jim began in Twain’s footsteps as a newspaper delivery carrier on a morning and evening route. The newspaper was part of the Scripps Howard group, so it’s no surprise that Jim moved on from a paper route to the Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University. His career path took him to Washington, DC, where he covered the Clinton administration. “At the time, Scripps Howard was the second largest newspaper chain in the county,” Jim recalled, “so our seat in the White House Press Room was right next to the famous Helen Thomas.” Twenty years ago, Jim said, “through serendipity and good luck, I fell in love again with Africa when I was invited by a friend to go to East Africa. I felt like I was in a Hemingway novel. Every generation has bemoaned how Africa has been ruined, but it’s still wonderful.” When he’s not there, his RHD Series IIA reminds him of his beloved East Africa, where RHD Land Rovers are commonplace.

Jim told remarkable stories of his service work through photography; my envy level went through the roof. “I wanted to help keep [Africa’s] past intact, so I help with little philanthropic projects. Some DC friends have helped, as well as a motley crew of friends in Kenya. I stay on the grounds of the Karen Blixen Museum [See “Out of Africa” -ed.] - she grew up on the ranch with wildlife, but it’s now surrounded by the ever-expanding Nairobi. I actually thought of moving there, but family reasons have kept us in California.” “I got really involved in wildlife technology, a sort of FitBit for a lion or leopard. We place a collar on a matriarch and that feeds data for her location. If she and her pride intrude onto farmland, we can deploy teams of rangers to track the apex predators and try to mitigate conflict with farmers. The collars are maybe $500 and a cheap cell phone will receive the data. Now you don’t need aircraft or a large infrastructure to track them. I serve with Masai friends, and Skype and cellular technology have worked quite well. Small-scale solar power has also helped with our work, as well as for life in general. Mobile banking has been a facet of African life for a long time.” “The rapid response team of rangers are in Series Land Rovers and early 90s/110s – the Land Rovers just keep going. Every time I’m there, I’m always in a Land Rover; it’s my sidekick. Before the pandemic restrictions, my last trip was to Lake Turkana, a World Heritage site. I’m trying to document these world sites, as they’re threatened by the

Nile River dam in Ethiopia and its potential oil deposits. The Turkana people who populate the region live nomadically as they’ve done for centuries.” “This past summer, I returned to Kenya and worked with the Kenya Wildlife Service, the Mara Elephant Project, the El Karama Conservancy and Safari Doctors. I always stay on El Karama when I’m in East Africa. I have been friends with the family that started that conservancy for almost 20 years. Bella Nicholson’s parents founded El Karama and she is married to Michael Nicholson, the head of Kenya Wildlife Service Airwing.”

The trip involved an epic, 15-hour, mostly off-road drive over the Aberdare mountain range. “I did not see another vehicle from El Karama to Naivasha or from Narok to Marc’s camp on the Masai Mara,” Jim recalled. “The trickiest bits were getting to and from the remote camps in the bush in the darkness before and after long days of driving.” Map drawn by Bella Nicholson that took Jim from his camp on El Karama to Marc Goss’ camp in the Masai Mara. It was a epic, 15-hour+, mostly off-road drive over the Aberdare mountain range.

“The highlight of the trip for me was photographing one of the last of the “Big Tusker” elephants, known as Craig, in the Amboseli National Park. Amboseli is a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, Biosphere Reserve. The Big Tuskers are elusive and rarely seen by tourists. And the rangers keep their locations secret to protect them from poachers. I spent two, very long, dusty, bumpy days in the bush looking for Craig.” “Then, as the sun was setting on the second day, the clouds broke, giving me my first view of Mt. Kilimanjaro on this trip, and Craig walked out of a thicket. Usually wildlife is photographed from a distance with a telephoto lens because it is difficult to get close. But I wanted to photograph Craig at very close range with a wideangle lens to try and capture the feeling of awe you get when you are close to these magnificent creatures in the bush.” “I have been fortunate enough to spend a fair amount of time with elephants in the bush over the years and know that they are incredibly intelligent and keen judges of character. They also make it very clear when they do not like something by rearing up and spreading out their ears as a warning. So I very slowly crept up to a few feet from Craig as he calmly continued walking along and eating. He seemed to be at peace, not upset with me at all. Needless to say, I stood in awe of this experience.” I connected with Jim through his friend, Mike Blanchard, the Editor of Rust. Mike wrote that “Africa is his thing. I’m sure he will keep going back as long as he can. It’s a cliché, but Africa, especially East Africa, seems to get its hooks in people and keep pulling them back.” My envy level has not dropped one bit. /// [For more information on Jim’s service, visit www.Koenigsaeker.com and follow him on Instagram @jim_koenigsaeker -ed.]

PROPER PLACE / PROPER TRAILS

ll of the big Land Rover events are back – but so are all the weddings, family affairs, home repairs and general obligations. That said, it’s been a full summer of ‘Rovering’ since my trip to the Martha’s Vineyard Series Rover Event, [See Summer/Fall 2021 issue -ed.] with many things happening right here in my own backyard. Here are a few highlights. Tracking down derelict Land Rovers – often abandoned in the woods – has become one of my favorite things. With the landowner’s permission, and the offering of a nominal fee, they’re usually pretty keen to get that “heap of junk” off of their property. One day, while talking to a buddy in a neighboring town, he asked if I had ever seen that old Series truck up the road in the woods. My ears perked up. “No, which Series truck?” I asked. We drove up the road and met his neighbor, who had purchased the Rover in the ‘60s as a high school student. There it was, a ‘63 Series IIA 88”. It was 100 feet into the woods, sideways on an embankment, with the whole driver’s side on the downside of the slope, buried up to its door sills in forest debris. I asked how it got there and he barked, “I drove it there, how else?” So at least we determined that it “ran when parked.” He was excited at the prospect of having it gone, especially since it had sat there in the same spot since 1985, due to an already rotting frame. I was excited because of the parts to be picked from it. With the pull of a Massey Ferguson tractor and the push of a CAT bulldozer, we managed to guide it up the hill and onto a trailer, with a few directional tugs from the winch on my Series III. Now she sits in the parking lot outside my shop, waiting to be brought inside and dismantled, bolt by bolt, but that can wait until winter.

Above top: Newfie find; Mike Capozza on it!

I sold a parts 109” to Matt Hawkes, Saco, ME, and when he told his fellow Maine enthusiasts he was going to travel to pick it up, suddenly, a group of Rover elves accompanied him. What started as a tow job turned into an excellent “Rover Day BBQ” at my shop in Brattleboro, VT. I needed some welding done on a Salisbury axle. Mike Capozza, Portland, ME, agreed to bring his welding unit and come along with Matt. Word spread and a full

Rover Day BBQ

It was like an army of ants being let loose on a bag of candy. There was much food, and many beverages and laughs that day, not to mention all the invaluable work that was done in the name of fun.

dfg At the end of August, I flew to St. John’s, Newfoundland, after a two-year hiatus from visiting the motherland. The island is rich in Land Rover history, but for a place that was once one of the world’s largest importers of Land Rovers Series vehicles, there aren’t many left on the roads. I took a run down the southern shore to visit my buddy Calvin and poked around in his field of old Series derelicts. I envisioned a few of them in all of their patina glory, rebuilt on new frames, but it seems unlikely, given the remote nature of where they lay.

dfg The 30th anniversary of the British Invasion happened in Stowe, VT, in mid September. It was actually the 31st year, but last year was skipped due to the pandemic, so 2021 was the big “XXX” event [See p.18 -ed.] The Land Rover section was noticeably smaller than in previous years, but it didn’t matter in the slightest. Most of us were there to see each other and the Land Rovers with all the rest of the event being a bonus. The Land Rovers are always relegated off to the side of the field, while the main lawn is filled with rows and rows of Jaguars, MGs, Triumphs, Bentleys, etc., all vying for the coveted Best in Class awards. The Land Rover section seems to be more about the social interaction and camaraderie than the competition itself, evident behind the Series section with all the coolers, camp chairs and tents. Most of the conversations included, “Would you like a beverage?”

The final Land Rover event of the season for me was Metal Dash Weekend in Petersham, Massachusetts, hosted by 87-year-old Don Flye and his son, Mike. Like most major automobile events, it was cancelled last year but bounced back this year with approximately 65 Land Rovers in attendance over the three days. It was great to see friends from all over make it out for this laidback gathering. All the usual activities returned; the convoy through the Harvard University Forest to Red Apple Farm, the bonfires, tailgate grilling, parts swap, trials course, etc. Metal Dash is always one of my favorites. Apart from the larger events and gatherings there were also quite a few day rides on woods roads and dirt trails to remind me of why I love these aluminum boxes so much. Now off to another derelict Series truck I heard about it the woods by the old quarry…. ///

BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL

Story and photos by Jeffrey Aronson

PROPER NOISES / PROPER VIEW

Warren Brown, an Australian editorial cartoonist, shares his love of Land Rovers with American enthusiasts

he surprise phone call came in late August. Would Maine’s Downeast Land Rover Club accept an offer from Bill Burke of Camel Trophy and 4-Wheeling America fame to make a Camel Trophy presentation in September? Saying no would be like refusing an offer from the Archbishop of Canterbury to speak at your church’s Sunday service. It turned out that Bill has friends in high places, specifically in the coastal town on Lincolnville, ME. What Bill did not know was that the impetus to create a Downeast Land Rover Club had grown out of the efforts of an enthusiast in Lincolnville in the early 1990s. The town featured a pub willing to host Land Rovers, a campground willing to open sites and trails to Land Rovers and, nearby, the Owls Head Transportation museum, an auto and aviation museum that features weekend events such as military vehicle and foreign car shows. At different times, Rovers North and East Coast Rover have both lent a hand in supporting and organizing these weekend events. The sale of the campground ended the event off-roading, but the club grew and continues to thrive as a group to this day. Terry Jackson, Lewiston, ME, connected with Museum Director Toby Stinson and determined that their “Foreign Car Day” would coincide with Bill’s visit to Maine, and that the Museum would be happy to provide space for a presentation. That September afternoon, 40 enthusiasts gathered to listen to Bill’s experiences with Web Arnold in the

1993 Camel Trophy Sabah, Malaysia

1991 Tanzania-Burundi Camel Trophy adventure. They were joined by photojournalist Lou Sapienza, Rockport, ME, who rode with the ’96 US Team in Borneo (with drivers Ken Cameron and Fred Hoess). Thousands of off-roavd enthusiasts applied for the ’91 team – after winnowing down the applicants, Bill found himself competing in cognitive, athletic, team-building, driving and off-road recovery tests over a long weekend of 24-hour days. His mechanical test called upon him to install a camshaft. The team-building exercise involved figuring out how to move a fully-locked Defender 110 at 1:30 am. Competitors had to demonstrate safety and knowledge of chainsawing and bridge building, and have the physical stamina to complete 6-minute mile runs in boots and backpacks. The 1991 competition saw the first use of the then-new Discovery I 5-door [which would not come into the US until 1994 -ed.]. Once selected, Bill and Web flew to France for international training, and then to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, for the start of the event. Each Land Rover subsidiary purchased a Discovery for their national team; all were prepared for extreme duty by Land Rover’s Special Operations. Eighteen countries competed for the ’91 trophy, along with 10 support vehicles for first aid, communications, technical support, an event coordinator and a lead scout. Each person could take only what they could carry in two Pelican cases; each team had two competitors and carried two journalists.

L-R: Rajna Kecojevic, her son Filip, and Bill Burke

Over 300,000 spectators cheered the competitors on at the start of the race in Dar es Salaam. Knowing that relations with the many villages they would travel through would be important, most of the vehicles carried toys for children and useful items to donate during their passage. Every vehicle also carried parts that could be shared by any team; Bill remembered needing two gearboxes, three clutch swaps and a center differential. “We beat the snot out of those Discoverys. All we needed was a winch and a strong tree to complete the repairs,” Bill said. The British, French, Italian and US teams had the best navigation skills, so Bill and Web often found themselves in the lead. All navigation relied on compasses and dead reckoning; it was essential to account for the different declination of magnetic north in this region of Africa, which can be up to 30 degrees west, substantially greater than in North America and much of Europe. The “roads” were largely tracks that had not been traveled in many years, so the grass grew to 10–15 inches in height – further obscuring the actual trail. During the event, teams received instructions for special tests in the field, as well as TSD rally sections. “All in all, it was a very intense event,” Bill recalled. Bill’s photos added to the impact of his descriptions of the journey and captivated everyone (including museum staff who had never heard of the event) and made the otherwise static field event more memorable. Additional fun followed that evening, as Bill’s friend in Lincolnville opened up her grounds to campers. Around the fire pit, stories flowed, and an evening of the discography of The Cowboy Junkies ensued – favorites of Bill and Bruce Fowler [of Maine Winter Romp fame]. Whether the guests of the neighboring posh inn shared the same enthusiasm for Bruce’s playlist or our choral performance of “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” remains questionable. Bill Burke’s 4-Wheeling America celebrates its 35th year in 2021. By the time you read this issue, Bill will have shared his knowledge with participants at the Mid Atlantic Rally in Virginia. We look forward to many more years of his experience and guidance in off-roading and overlanding.

“You drove that thing to Vermont?” asked an incredulous island resident – the “thing” referred to was my ’67 109” SW. The answer? Yes, definitely, and I couldn’t have been happier. Living and working on a small island, my Land Rovers rack up more engine hours than miles. That means that, ahem, issues don’t always show themselves until I travel longer distances on the mainland. The drive to this September’s British Invasion in Stowe, VT [500 miles round trip] highlighted some issues.

The drive from Maine to Vermont puts me on some of northern New England’s most visually scenic roads, especially this time of year. You take the Coastal Highway (US Route 17) and Route 2 East across Maine and the Presidential Range in New Hampshire, then cross into Vermont along the Connecticut River, picking up the narrow twisties of Rte 15 and, finally, the stunning Rte 100 to Stowe. In a sports car like my Triumph TR7 or Spitfire, it’s an exhilarating experience. In a ’67 109” Station Wagon, it’s more leisurely and still thoroughly enjoyable. The hills may be “alive with the sound of music” to some, but for me, they resounded with the sound of shifting gears, whining overdrive and a wound-up 2.25 petrol engine. A non-functional gas gauge and a single gas tank conspired to call for pit stops about every 120 miles; overly cautious, perhaps, but one empty tank during a long trip [see Winter 2020 issue -ed.] demonstrated my displeasure with that idea. Cruising along the two-lane roads at speeds ranging between 35– 60 mph lets you deduce the lives of those who live in the communities that line the routes. I saw plenty of evidence of former industries, such as a well-known toothpick factory and former working dairy and chicken farms, as well as current enterprises, giant paper mills and newly revived farms. Given what was available for sale on the side of the road, plenty of Yankee ingenuity is still in force, but shuttered and/or abandoned buildings indicate the hardscrabble nature of some places. Not surprisingly, railroad lines parallel the rivers, and roadways follow the railroad tracks. You could track the history of settlements just by observing the natural and human landscape. Google Maps claimed the trip should take about five hours, but in a 4-cylinder 109” with necessary fuel stops, it required six. Weather in this region travels from west to east, so I ran into squalls, heavy at times, throughout the drive, but Rain-X proved to be a Series owner’s best friend. Some water dribbled past the non-existent door and scuttle vent seals, but the sun returned to dry out the interior. The, ahem, issues that arose included squealing brakes, especially when damp, an occasional hiccup from the engine when under load on mountainous terrain and a stop to apply duct tape along one alpine window to affix it to its desiccated rubber seal. What wasn’t an issue was the ingenious middle seat, which required only releasing two thumbscrews to fold it down and up against the front seats. That allowed me to return to Maine with a large, self-propelled lawn mower and chainsaw. As the old advertisements claim, “Yes, versatile’s the word!” /// Holiday 2021

“In for a Penny, in for a Pound” By Jeffrey Aronson. Photos: Lou Sapienza, Jim Hawkins, East Coast Rover

im Hawkins, Tucson AZ, describes his ’67 Series IIA as“the most fun you can have at two miles per hour.” 17 years after its purchase, it’s finally completed its journey from Switzerland to East Coast Rover, Rockland, ME, and to its new home in Tucson. Before graduating from the University of NeSusan and Jim Hawkins braska with a Mechanical Engineering degree, Jim became interested through Denise McCluggage’s stories about her Land Rover named “Dog” that routinely appeared in Car and Driver [and once in Rovers Magazine -ed]. “I read her articles and that interested me in Series Land Rovers. When I was transferred to Belgium in 1992, I sponsored a project with the Pasadena Arts Center campus is Switzerland, and a professor there was a Series owner and enthusiast. That really furthered my interest!” As the General Manager for Caterpillar’s Mining Technology division, Jim has lived in several countries, moving eleven times since that first posting in Belgium. Susan Hawkins met her husband in high school and worked as an architect in Chicago before joining Jim and raising their family. In St. Charles, IL, Jim bought a ’67 IIA RHD that became his daily driver for three years before Caterpillar send the him to Geneva, Switzerland. He knew his Jim’s orignal RHD 1967 Series IIA IIA would require a new frame, so he put it in storage during his time in Europe. “I had confidence that it could be rebuilt because I could see that you could build a new Land Rover from the parts available through Rovers North,” he said.

While living and working in Paris in 2004, Jim found East Coast Rover and asked if they might restore his ’67. Eventually he had it shipped to ECR and their assessment of the IIA was gloomy. Jim recalls that “they had a one, another ’67 IIA, that was in better starting condition, so I bought it – sight unseen – trusting a person and a company that I’d never met before. [ECR now specializes on Defenders only ed.] I trusted Mike to undertake what came ‘naturally” to him, based on his considerable experience with Series Land Rovers and Defenders. I didn’t want the build list to become too extensive, but I understood that Mike would know the best modifications, if any, to make.” “I loved my previous Series Land Rover, the one I bought in Illinois, as it made every trip an ad- Above: The donor for the resto-mod venture. My kids loved it, also. I wanted to be a hero to my kids, so it spoke to me. But it was just too far gone, and I wanted upgrades. So I decided ‘in for a penny, in for a pound,’ and trusted in Mike Smith’s recommendations. I wanted it to be a lifetime vehicle.” (The “kids” now are Amelia, age 29, a novelist who works at a private high school on Long Island, NY, and Jacob, a Chicago-based pharmaceutical researcher into Huntington’s Disease.) From initial photos of the “new” IIA Hardtop, Jim saw that it had a life in Texas, great for reducing possible corrosion but tough on paint and interiors. The IIA body and tub sat square and undented, always a plus. The next decisions rested with Jim, in consultation with ECR’s Mike Smith as to the levels of restoration and/or modification. After a few years of daily driving his original IIA, Jim decided he wanted to improve the IIA’s functionality. Tucson’s average temperature in the summer hovers at 100 degrees, with winter (January-February) descending to a 65 degree average. With hot weather predominating, Jim accepted the recommendation that a Holley Sniper EFI (electronic 48

fuel injection) system replace the standard Zenith carburetor. This system can be tuned digitally for different driving conditions. Using an EFI virtually eliminates the likelihood of fuel vaporization (vapor lock), particularly with today’s ethanol-laced gasoline. As an added protection, the electric fuel pump is mounted in the fuel tank where the gasoline can help cool the pump. Those same temperatures make topless driving a joy so Jim also had his hardtop equipped to run as a canvas top; that meant it would have both a rear door, a tailgate, and hoop set with the necessary tie-downs. While the spare tire mount sits as original in the rear tub, the rear door also provided a mounting point for the spare if desired. When it came time to paint the IIA, Jim deferred to his wife, Susan, on a color choice. “She’s the architect,” he said, “and she knows color and design. She researched the historic colors of Land Rovers [there were few on North American models -ed.] and chose its current Sage Green. There’s ample photographic evidence that she made the right choice. As any Series Land Rover owner will attest, the leaf-spring suspension does not meet contemporary expectations in terms of NVH (noise, vibration and harshness). In fact, it seems to accentuate each of them, so Jim chose a coil-spring replacement chassis. Series drum brakes feel marginal in today’s driving situations, so the chassis came with the added bonus of standard Land Rover disc brakes. “I didn’t need it to drive like a sports car,” Jim said, “I’ve got those already. But I do love the sound of the Rover 4-cylinder; it’s all part of the experience.” For a slight increase in horsepower and torque, Jim chose a Turner-built 2.5L petrol engine with the Land Rover 5-speed for extra flexibility and highway capabilities.

I had the good fortune to drive Jim’s resto-mod before ECR shipped it to his home in Tucson. The engine made the same wonderful noises that every Land Rover Series 4-cylinder makes, only with greater responsiveness and more vigor than the engines in my Series IIA’s. Acceleration, usually not a concept associated with Series Land Rovers, was brisk through the gears and the Rover easily kept up with traffic on two-lane roads. The tight steering on appropriately narrow tires made for fine handling. As I was under strict orders not to damage the vehicle, it never did more off roading than on a well-kept field, but I had no reason to assume it would be any less capable than any other Series Rover. My all-too-brief test drive was made with Lou Sapienza, a photojournalist who is also rebuilding and modifying his Series III (the first vehicle he ever owned). To Lou, the Hawkins’ IIA demonstrated the care and precision of East Coast Rover’s engineering. As his Land Rover undergoes rebuilding from his own “workshop,” Lou appreciates the steps necessary to ensure longevity and reliability and he admired ECR’s craftsmanship. As we go to press, Jim has finally enjoyed a few weeks with his Series IIA. “I’m absolutely loving it,” he said in a phone interview. I’m reminded that it’s a 60-plus year old design. It’s a 1960’s driving experience, which is part of charm to me. It absolutely meets my expectations - it’s all great!” “My epiphany is that a Series Rover demands the full engagement and attention of the driver. This is what I find so charming about it. I have reveled in opportunities to drive race cars -which demand one’s full attention - and in return, provide an escape from the day to day grind of life. When I go to the race track and spend a couple hours flogging my kart around the circuit, I am totally relaxed afterward, and ready to take on whatever intellectual challenge may be presented. A Series Rover does the same thing - every time one takes the wheel. That is what I love most about it. /// L-R: Susan and Jim Hawkins with their resto-mod 1967 Series IIA

Galvanized Corner Cap for Series Seat Base EXT221-50 $ 8.33

The elephant hide grey vinyl seating was introduced into mainstream Land Rover production in 1954, and used to great effect in the Series II and IIA interiors. At the time there were on average 1700 Land Rover vehicles rolling off the production line a week. Taking in to account model variations and seating types, the result was over 1000 seats a day going through the exceptionally busy trim shop. We now have a material that’s a superb reproduction and gives all of the features that are so important if restoring these historic vehicles. Now manufactured with modern quality vinyls that give the same effect and long life as this classic material has done for over 40 years. Seat belts not included.

Digital Speedometer Kit for Defender

Defenders without an ECU can step into the future with Rovers North's complete speedometer solution. This bright, easy to read, water-resistant (sealed) gauge is not only accurate, it is driven by an electrical signal for smooth needle movement; no more annoying needle-bob from the cable driven speedometer. Users can easily adjust the built -in clock, brightness of the LED illumination, dial color, and screen color. The convenient auto-calibration feature means changes to gear ratios or tires sizes are no big deal, your speedometer will be accurate again with just a few pokes of the button and driving a mile. This kit includes a VDO SingleViu 90mph Speedometer, our custom wiring harness, and VDO Hall effect sensor. For convenience Rovers North has pre-configured the gauges and included easy to follow instructions. Installation should take about an hour or less. We can even pre-program your odometer reading! The speedometer wiring harness included in this kit is designed to seamlessly integrate with the wiring harness of Rovers North's forthcoming +3 gauge kit. This kit will incorporate matching volts meter, water temp and fuel level gauges. Adding these three modern instruments will be as simple as swapping the gauges, plugging a tidy new wiring harness, connecting the sender wires for your water temp and fuel level, and removing some of redundant wiring. The +3 gauge kit dramatically reduces the rat's nest of

RNDSKIT2

wires behind your dash and the previously daunting task of removing your instrument panel can now be accomplished in seconds by removing just 6 connectors. The VDO SingleViu gauges all feature CAN bus connectivity which allows Rovers North to use the VDO SingleViu configuration software to pre-program countless characteristics of the gauges. For example, the water Six dial ond screen colors are available to program; temp gauges will arrive configured for your motor. This could be green, blue, white, amber, red and yellow. invaluable if on the first warm day you forget to take off your radiator muff, causing the motor to overheat, and the audible alarm and flashing light get your attention as soon as the engine leaves normal operating temperatures, long before any damage is done. In the vehicle, CAN bus links all the gauges together so when the user adjusts the brightness or dial color, the settings are synchronized across all 4 gauges, creating a truly personalized instrument cluster.

Ultimate 2.8 Litre 300 Tdi Engine Kit Experience the amazing power and low speed torque of our 2.8 liter remanufactured 300 Tdi Diesel engine with the fitting kit for a Defender 300 RNE28TDI Tdi application. Built from a Genuine Land Rover 300Tdi core, this motor will transform the performance of your Land Rover with an awesome 277 lbs. ft. torque at only 1400 rpm! With bigger pistons and a variable turbo, our engine produces 24 more horsepower and 82 more lbs ft of torque than the original 300 Tdi. Our engine manufacturer starts with a used 300 Tdi cylinder block, which is subjected to a rigorous overhaul process involving a special acid bath to remove any internal rust deposits. The 2.5 liter 300 Tdi block is then rebored to 2.8300 liters and comes with all new parts including a new variable geometry turbocharger, cylinder head, injectors, crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, timing case, timing gears. Assembly required! This is an engine kit. For compliance reasons the turbo with manfolds is supplied as a separate part. We include a complete assembly guide and all the necessary bolts, washers, gaskets, etc. This Engine is not certified for use in California. NOTE: This motor may be used in many applications. This part number includes a fitting kit for Defenders originally equipped with 300 Tdi engines (not pictured). Contact us for more information.

s we prepare for the holidays, the Sierras and Rocky Mountain states have already received their first snow. Here in northern New England, the sun sets earlier and rises later; red, orange and yellow leaves fall off trees and descend onto our lawns and loud, obvious hints of what’s desired for holiday gifts ring out along with Christmas carols and pop songs. It’s a most wonderful time of the year. The many Sightings received demonstrate that despite the distractions of the season, enthusiasts nationally and from Canada still search out Land Rovers in advertisements, commercials, movies and online sites. We’re thankful for their effort and energy. It’s always helpful for veteran and novice Sighters alike to review the rules that govern when we award a Coveted Mug:

SIGHTINGS ROVERS MAGAZINE / HOLIDAY 2021

For sightings rules & submissions, visit www.roversnorth.com/sightings

Rule #1 — All Sightings receive recognition and our appreciation, but not necessarily a mug. We reward only those Sightings that capture the unique qualities of Land Rovers as well as their owners, and display them in a distinctive way. Rule #2 — If your Sighting doesn’t really surprise you, it won't surprise us, either — thus, we can’t award you a mug. We're delighted, but not surprised, that Land Rovers appear in British television programmes, British publications, films with British themes and shows about African safaris. These Sightings are appreciated, but not mug-worthy. Rule #3 — At an ever-changing date before publication, we close off the Sightings; for this issue it was October 1, 2021. If we've mentioned the Sighting in an earlier issue, we might not mention it again. If you're new to the family of Land Rover enthusiasts, you may not have seen your Sighting in an earlier issue. Rule #4 — If you qualify, one mug per Sighting per issue. No more than two Coveted Mugs will be awarded to the same person per year. Rule #5 — Sightings that are Land Rover references in books go to our Literary Land Rover Editor for mention, but only when space permits. Rule #6 — Psst... email submissions — remember we can't send a mug by email. To be considered for a Coveted Mug, send us your real name and shipping address too. Rule #7 — Snail mail sightings must be sent to: Editor, Rovers Magazine, P.O. Box 90, Vinalhaven, ME 04863 Rule #8 — Grudgingly, very grudgingly, the Editor admits he might have made an error. Let us know if you think you've been jobbed.

Holiday 2021

Movie and television producers know that Land Rovers glue viewers to screens – just ask James Bond! Fred Behrens, Powhatan, VA, enjoyed Transcendence but complained that “they did not treat the Series Land Rover as they should have.” Benjamin Boerum, Washington, DC, couldn’t miss the Range Rover Classic police vehicle in an episode of Sex Education. Mary Fabro, Herndon, VA, spotted an LR3 in The Sterling. To entice customers, advertisers love to use Land Rovers in their ads. Colin Johnson, Mt. Pleasant, SC; Greg King, Mountain Lake, GA; Frank Adcock, Memphis, TN; and Scott Pinarchick, Hingham, MA, found the Defender 110 in the 2021 Peter Millar catalogue. Ken Gummerson, Baltimore, MD, spotted the Series Land Rover in the Flaherty clothing catalogue. Frank Adcock, Memphis, TN, enjoyed seeing the late Series IIA in the Johnnie-O clothing catalogue. The classic Defender silhouette really appeals to consumers. Why else would the Nantucket Surf

Club place it on their hats? That convinced Eric Lowe, Bozeman, MT, to buy one. Stephen Lister, Utica, OH, also sent in that Sighting. Mike Freddie, Waterford, CT, found a Barbour ad on the Nordstrom Rack website. “Not an unusual sighting given it’s a Barbour advertisement, but the Land Rover lifestyle is immediately appreciated and the model – not the man or the dog but the Defender 110 – captures hearts and minds even with only a quarter of the vehicle shown.” Walker Buck, Birmingham, AL, spotted a NAS Defender 90 used in a video promoting Gatlinburg, TN. Chuck Breiner, Troy, NY, [see Rule #6] spotted a Gas Bike website that featured a Defender 110 pickup. In the Spanish series Money Heist, Stephen Lister, Utica, OH, also found a Defender pickup. Phil Hartnady, Bowling Green, KY, enjoyed seeing a classic Remington

721 rifle being used by a sportsman beside a Land Rover Series IIA on safari in a recent issue of American Rifleman. The visual connection was obvious! Garry Dalgliesh, Millville, NJ, spotted a Marine Blue Series 88” pickup in a recent issue of Country Living magazine, sitting in front of the Brick Store Museum [which as a Mainer, I know to be in Kennebunk, ME. -ed.] ; it’s the same as the SWB he owns. Rick Prudhomme, Hendersonville, NC, noted that

Huckberry has an online journal in which they’re repairing a Discovery’s front end, urging readers to “do it yourself.” Dan Duncan, American Fork, UT, enjoyed seeing the Defender 90 on duty in a 5.11 Tactical web ad. It’s an unusual promotion, but the Florida National Park Association wants you to support the new “Florida Bay” license plate by placing one on a Land Rover 110 – so wrote Lisa Monish, Pensacola, FL. Eleven-year old Margot Ruggieri, Southport, CT, who identifies herself as “a VERY big Rover fan,” spotted a pink topless Defender in the British Netflix show, The Big Flower Fight, but she prefers her Defender in Beluga Black.

We’ve mentioned these before, but we always want to credit avid Sighters. Erin Finnegan, Wyndmoor, PA, spotted the Series Rover in the Free Fly online ad. Scott Preston, Southwest Harbor, ME, noted that Thule racks continue their long practice of including Land Rover models in their ads; the latest includes a new Range Rover. Chris Sand, Lebanon, NJ, was pleased to see a Series Land Rover in the Ritz-Carlton online ad. Joseph Mazzarella, Phoenix, AZ, watched the Italian Grand Prix at Monza and – once again – there was a Discovery II working as a safety vehicle. Eric Brumwell, Bainbridge Island, WA, was pleased to see the return of a Series Rovers in a Bloomingdales ad in the New York Times. Steve Stricker, Oxford, MS, and David Rock, Providence Rock, VA, caught the return of the Principal financial services commercial. ///
