n June 5, 2022, the United Kingdom celebrated the 70 years of Queen Elizabeth’s reign by throwing a Platinum Jubilee Pageant around Buckingham Palace in London. Few events could have been more Fabulously British.

Leading the parade of 26 Land Rover and Jaguar vehicles was the very first Land Rover (SNX 910) that debuted at the Amsterdam Motor Show in April, 1948. It was joined by one owned by Spencer Wilks, of Land Rover’s founding family, an eminent collection of Series and Defenders (classic and new) and, of course, the Queen’s own Land Rovers.

Chris Thorp, Chief of Staff, JLR, said that “It is a true honour for our vehicles to play a part in this momentous occasion to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee… The Queen is a remarkable role model and we were delighted to celebrate with her.” Land Rover received its first Royal War rant in 1951 from Queen Elizabeth’s father, King George VI, who had tried one of the company’s very early models in prototype form. Regarded as a British icon, Jaguar Land Rover continues to hold the Royal Warrant as “Manufacturers of Motor Vehicles, By Appointment.”

Since we did not receive a Royal Invitation, we had to satisfy ourselves through online viewing of the Jubilee while diving deep into the Africa-based adventures of Philip Kohler, recounted in Martin Port’s brilliant book, Trans Africa Land Rover (Porter Press, 2022). The adventure not only provided new experiences, it also shaped the rest of Philip’s professional life, including his photography journals, resulting in a hugely successful career in the international film industry. The period photographs dazzle with their authenticity, and Martin Port tells the story

Back in 1998, Land Rover celebrated its 50th anniversary. Here in North America, a collaboration between the Ottawa Valley Land Rover Club (OVLR) and the Rover Owners of Virginia (ROAV) became the impetus to form an organization – ANARC (Association of American Rover Clubs) –to create a 50th Anniversary celebration. Many smaller clubs joined the new organization. Their combined efforts brought together nearly 400 Land Rovers and enthusiast families to the Greek Peak ski area in Cortland, NY.

Next year, Land Rover will celebrate its 75th anniversary. You only have to run through the long list of automotive nameplates that have vanished to realize the enormity of this accomplishment. To mark the achievement, the same two clubs have reincorpo rated ANARC and invite any North American club, informal regional organization or social media group to participate in the association.

ANARC is a “club of clubs;” its mission statement defines it as a coalition of “Land Rover vehicle owner clubs, organizations and individuals.” Its aim is “to provide opportunities for experience and the enjoyment of our Land Rover vehicles.” Leading the organization are:

President – Mike McKaig (ROAV) Vice-President – Dixon Kenner (OVLR) Treasurer – Bob Steele (ROAV) Secretary – Ben Smith (OVLR)

ANARC’s first task is to organize the Diamond Jubilee celebration from June 14–18, 2023, which will return to the much-enhanced Greek Peak Ski Resort. Rovers North, Sarek Autowerke, Lucky 8 and Atlantic British lead the Land Rover business community in helping launch the Diamond Jubilee; ANARC invites other businesses to consider vitally needed support.

It might seem far off in the future, but the all-volunteer organization recognizes the need to plan well in advance. So far, no word from Jaguar Land Rover UK or Jaguar Land Rover NA as to their level of participation in 75th anniversary events, but we urge them to share in the excitement along with the enthusiasts who support the marque.

See you there next June! ///

Dear Rovers North,

Our oldest son Dylan recently graduated from Grade 12 and for his graduation photos we thought it would be special if he took some with his father’s pride and joy, a 1959 Series II. Over the years both of our boys have enjoyed spending time with their father working alongside him restoring the Land Rover, so it was important to include it for this special event.Daraand

Dear Rovers North,

On behalf of the Texas Rovers Leadership, I thank you sincerely for your generous donation that helped make our 2022 SCARR a great success. This year’s event attracted over 125 Land Rovers, ranging from Series to new Defenders. Over 225 owners and enthusiasts came from not only Texas, but as far away as Connecticut and California.

We will start planning for SCARR 2023 this month, and strive to make it even more successful next year. Thanks again for your gener ous SCARRLaurasponsorship.Shacklette2022Event

Dear Rovers North,

I wanted to give a shout-out to Pete Golovach, who responded to my weekend voicemail early on a Monday morning. He helped me sort out my account, and as we’re near neighbors, he offered to deliver the fuel cap for my 110 in person! Even better, when he was held up at Rovers North and I could not wait before departing for Boston, he arranged for a quick shipment to a one-time address.

This did not surprise me, as it’s Rovers North, but this is service in Buel’sLawrencepractice.MottGore,VT

Dear Rovers North,

On a flight from Portland, ME, a family member met the Editor of your magazine, and she was excited to share the experience with me since I just bought my first Land Rover in 2020. I took a quick glance through your magazine’s website – there’s a lot that I need to return to and read!Myfiancée turned me onto Land Rovers and now I can’t go back. We drove my ’16 LR4 Landmark to Nantucket this summer; it was like being in Defender heaven! I look forward to reading future issues of the magazine.

Dear Rovers North,

I wanted to reach out and extend a huge amount of thanks to Pete Golovach in Technical Sales. Pete helped me navigate through a com plicated axle swap and brake upgrade project. His customer service throughout the project was top-notch and his knowledge of the parts required was truly impressive and spot-on.

Best Regards, Dan Anacortes,ThomsonWA

Dear Rovers North,

Thank you – your team is knowledgeable, patient, supportive, and allaround awesome. My D90 has needed a lot of work and you guys have done an outstanding job of supplying what I need when I need it. I do not know how much you help with customs to Canada, but you get the parts through when I need them.

Background: Bill Cooper’s 1951 Series I at Gettysburg National Military Park Memorial

The 1950s became the decade in which Land Rovers trans ported explorers and expeditioners around the world. Some, such as the Oxford–Cambridge First Overland, benefitted from corporate and institutional support, but Australian Barbara Toy purchased a demonstrator 80” Series I on her own and em barked solo on treks that took her around the world.

One tour, captured in her book Columbus Was Right, took Barbara across the USA from San Francisco to New York City. This self-funded venture embodied the qualities that made her travel so special – the “anyone could do this” component. After reading that book (one of five travel books she published), it was all downhill for me. I became deter mined to make a cross-country Barbara Toy Tribute Tour, in a Series I, traveling – as much as possible – over the same roads. Using Columbus Was Right as a guide, I sourced mid-1950s road maps to determine her most likely route. In some instances, her account provided clear guid ance on the roads she chose; in others, I just had to guess.

When Barbara made her crossing, she landed in San Francisco and intended to pass over the Rockies. But her November arrival meant that some mountain passes were already closed due to snowfall. So she took a southern route, driving down to Los Angeles, then crossing the southern states to Jacksonville FL, then north to New York. For logisti cal reasons, my wife Patty and I decided we would reverse her route.

This just left getting the ’51 Series I ready for a 4,400-mile trip. It required a check of every nut, bolt and washer, the usual oil seal re placements, the installation of a non-period Fairey overdrive, and a con version from positive to negative ground. “Suzie” is a 71-year-old Land Rover, so a week before the planned departure, the carburetor cracked and the distributor shorted out. Whereas Barbara Toy had stretched her trip over a two-month period, Patty and I had only three weeks available with a looming departure date. So I raided parts from my other Series I 80”. Initially, Patty and I had both planned to travel in “Suzie,” but as we approached the departure date, Patty realized she did not want to be a passenger for three weeks, and followed instead in her beloved LR4.

Barbara’s book had few details about her route up the East Coast, so we decided to time our trip with the April ROAV Rovers at Wintergreen event. On a Wed

nesday morning, “Suzie” led Patty’s LR4 and a friend’s 109” (for a short send-off) from Blairstown, NJ, to Gettysburg, PA. We kept to secondary roads and felt humbled by the spirit of the historic battlefield.

The next morning, we continued south to Virginia. As we drove through Harpers Ferry to make our way to the Shenandoah Valley, the skies opened up with the heaviest rain we experienced during the entire trip. The rain also highlighted the deficiencies in my windscreen seal; a towel sorted the worst of it. As the rain started to clear, we came across a somewhat unexpected sight: two full-size (we presume) dinosaurs. We took this as a signal to stop for a rain break and a leg stretch – both were quite welcome.

From there, we headed to the Winter green Resort. I had an ticipated we would need to climb the ridge to get up to the event, but I’d failed to realize that coming in from the Shen andoah side meant we would need to climb the Blue Ridge then descend into a valley and climb back up a second ridge. This was not an issue for the LR4, but the little 1.6L 80” Series I stumbled. The best we could man age was 2nd gear up the steep in

cline, and we basically left it in 2nd gear to control the decent. Fortunately, the people stuck behind us were quite patient about it. This was something we were to encounter throughout the trip – there were only a couple of instances of someone being truly annoyed at our old Land Rover’s complete lack of speed.

Once we arrived, we passed the time greeting well-wishers, showing off “Suzie” and explaining our Tribute Tour to the enthusiastic attend ees. [See their interview on Sarek TV’s YouTube channel -ed.]. It was also good to catch up with enthusiasts we’d not seen in some time. We enjoyed the scenery, the brief rest and the chance to complete a few more tweaks.

After Wintergreen, we made our way south from Virginia, down through the Carolinas to the South Carolina coast. Cruising through the Low Country, we enjoyed the beautiful beaches and marveled at the amazing Live Oaks covered with Spanish Moss. On Georgia’s Jekyll Is land, we visited the Sea Turtle rescue and rehabilitation center. Contin uing south, we took the two-lane roads to Amelia Island, and a bit of the historic A1A in Florida. During this stretch, we started to hear noise from one of the exhaust manifold gaskets, likely a result of laboring up and down the Blue Ridge Mountains. Now, in preparation for the trip, I had thrown spares of almost every imaginable seal and gasket – but, of course, not an exhaust mani fold gasket. I snugged in my ear plugs and we continued to Jacksonville.

There, we stopped at the point where the old Rte. 90 meets the ocean. When Barbara arrived here in 1957, the local TV station featured her and had her drive onto the beach. When we arrived, we found it was now the site of the local police and beach patrol, with very large signs warning of the fines for driving on the beach. We decided not to try and re-create that part of her trip.

We headed west across the Florida Panhandle as far as Panama City on the Gulf Coast. The closer we got to the city, the more motorcycles we saw on the road. The reason became clear as we entered Panama City to “Welcome Bike Week” signs.

Taking a break at the Wintergreen Rally event

My heart sank; I wondered how much trouble we might encounter finding a hotel room. As it turned out, our fears were unfounded and we enjoyed a lovely room overlooking the water.

The next day found us heading toward Mobile, AL, for a meetup with members of the Gulf Coast Land Rover Club, including Charles Bell and Ben Montgomery. We used the parking lot of the USS Alabama Museum as a meeting point, as the ship is rather hard to miss. When a museum staffer, Matthew McCluney (USS Alabama), saw all the Land Rovers in the parking lot, he came out to greet us and let us know that he, too, owned a Land Rover.

Continuing our run on the 90 along the coast, we stopped in Biloxi for the night. The next morning, we met up with another Rover enthusiast, Mickey Slade, who tagged along with us for quite a few miles along the coast in his hybrid Series/Discovery truck. From there, we followed the coast into New Orleans where we decided to do a “Down Day” and take a bit of a break from driving.

It was while driving along Rte. 90 that it really struck as to how different things are today from what they were like back in 1957. Back then, many of these roads served as the main roads leading from town to town. But today, with all the modern development, shopping mall entrances, housing projects and traffic lights clog up the same road. A stretch of road that in 1957 might have taken an hour now requires 2–3 hours behind the wheel.

Patty and I have a fond place in our hearts for New Orleans. As we arrived via Rte. 90, we thought we would stop in City Park for beignets and photo ops. To our surprise, the park grounds were packed and the parking lot was full. Oops – we had arrived during the annual Jazz & Heritage Festival. Advance booking assured us of a comfortable hotel room, and the manager of a favorite French Quarter restaurant made space for “the crazy people driving the vintage car across the country.”

From Barbara Toy’s book, it seemed clear that she had taken Rte. 90 across the state, so we followed in her footsteps, based on her de scriptions of the sites and towns she visited. Taking a slight detour up to St. Martinsville, we stopped to see the Evangeline Oak, just as she had done. While crossing western Louisiana and into Texas, the 90

merged in spots into the I-10. We chose to remain in the far right lane so as not to impede traffic.

To make our way to Houston, we followed Barbara’s route and enjoyed a trip aboard the Galveston–Bolivar Ferry. In her book, Barbara describes driving along the shore with the Gulf waters on one side and seeing dozens of oil wells pumping slowly away on the other. As we drove down these back highways, I realized we were seeing the same sites exactly as she had experienced them.

While in Houston, we realized we had a problem – not with the Series I but with our schedule. I had looming work obligations and we had places to see and people to meet. While it wasn’t an easy decision, we decided to keep with the spirit of Barbara’s travels, bypass a couple of stops and rent a trailer to tow “Suzie” with Patty’s LR4. As it hap pened, the next day “Suzie” made the decision for us.

On the outskirts of Dallas, I heard an odd sound from the engine compartment, followed quickly by an explosion, like I had just driven over a bag of bolts. We pulled off the highway and into an empty lot at the end an exit ramp. I could see that the generator charge light was on – did I lose the belt? When I opened the hood, I received good news and bad news. The belt looked intact, but the generator now lay on the frame rail. The mounting hardware and bracket had disappeared; only the wires held it in place. A nearby U-Haul depot had car trailers for rent, so one went on the rear of the LR4. We disconnected the generator, taped off the wires, pulled the belt off, and drove “Suzie” onto the trailer. We headed off toward Lubbock and New Mexico.

Enthusiasts Peter and Kim Vollers had moved from Vermont to Placitas, New Mexico, and Peter offered his driveway/carport for the repair. We expected Peter’s hospitality, but not the presence of two overlanding vehicles – belonging to Mike Ladden of Drive the Globe and Tisha McCombs of Tisha Talks. We were now part of an informal overland

Oil stains on his carport floor provide evidence of my failed efforts at field repairs using Tractor Supply parts. I did manage to cobble together enough bolts to install the generator, but the distance and this delay really set us behind schedule. So “Suzie” would go back on the trailer behind the LR4. (Peter graciously arranged for rooms at Kim’s

Los Poblanos Inn in Albuquerque and forwarded the proper parts to us a few days later – a great example of the nationwide Land Rover community at work!)

This turned out to be a good decision, as unusually strong wind storms of 30–50 mph battered the southwest. When we tried to drive south to Albuquerque to rent another trailer, I could not get the Series I above 35mph, the result of high winds and the 6,000 ft altitude. I watched the door tops bending 3–4” out from the roof –eventually the driver’s side upper hinge failed and broke loose.

I used some extra hardware from the generator repair to jury-rig the hinge and bolt it back into place. We picked up another trailer and started moving west again.

Stopping in Holbrook, AZ, we stayed in one of the surviving Wig wam Motels along the old Rte. 66. Barbara found them fascinating enough to include a picture in her book, so this was a must-stop. Nos talgia filled the place: vintage rooms, vintage cars and huge blocks of petrified wood all around.

The next morning took us west through Winslow and we paid a short visit to Meteor Crater, followed by a longer stay at the Grand Canyon National Park. Dropping “Suzie” off the trailer, we explored the South Rim and followed Barbara’s directions to the El Tovar Hotel. As the hotel sits on the canyon rim, the view was spectacular. Fortunately for our budget, the hotel was fully booked.

We know Barbara visited the Hoover Dam, so the next day we took the road up from Kingman into Nevada. We followed Barbara’s adven tures down to the Las Vegas Strip and learned that the California border actually features a border checkpoint – well, an agricultural inspection station. Agents checked every car. When the inspector came up to our window, he looked at me (khaki shirt, sunglasses, battered old hat) and the Series I, and said, “Are you on safari or something?” We continued through the Mojave Desert and into Barstow for the night.

The following day, just outside Barstow, we stopped in the restored ghost town of Calico, where Barbara had encountered the Hemet Cava caders Jeep club on one of their outings. They were fascinated by her little Land Rover, and one of the club members even took the club badge off the front of his jeep and gave it to her. Barbara’s surviving “Pollyanna” still wears the badge to this day. We then returned to Rte. 66 and headed to friends in Bakersfield (Keith Shukait, Will Shukait and Brett Gottdener). The parts forwarded by Peter Vollers finally caught up with us, and our friends let us bor row their driveway so I could install the exhaust mani fold gaskets and generator mounts.

Heading to the coast, we joined California’s famous Rte. 1 north, one of the most scenic and pleasant drives of the entire trip. We made our way to Monterey for the night and spent the next day visiting the aquarium and touring the peninsula. The following day, we headed up the coast to Felton for the meetup, driving through some impressive fog banks and lovely redwood forests along the way. Eventually, we joined a small convoy of three Series I’s, a IIA, a Defender and Patty’s LR4 all the way to Half Moon Bay.

Back on our own, we made our way to San Francisco’s Embarcad ero, which had been Barbara’s port of arrival. We had made it – 4,400 miles total, 3,100 without the benefit of a trailer. We learned that the road conditions had changed dramatically since 1957, that those con ditions challenge a 1.6L 80” Series I, and that squeezing a twomonth journey in 1957 into a one-month drive in 2022 was, in all honesty, a mistake.

Next time, we’ll remember what Barbara wrote in her book: “To have to travel fast turns the journey into an endurance test, but with more time, it can be adventure.” ///

How Much Do I Love Thee?

My wife and I settled into our vacation cottage on Nantucket 17 years ago. Land Rovers have a storied presence on the island; friends told us that the “must have” vehicle would be an NAS Defender 90 in AA yellow. When my search began in 2005, I had no idea it would lead to a longterm love affair with classic Land Rovers.

The search yielded an extremely low-mileage Defender in the preferred color, happily with its original Warn winch, which I pur chased from Copley Motors near Boston. However, while searching for my Nantucket Defender, I bought a ‘66 Series IIA 109” ex-fire tender 5-door. According to the British Motor Heritage build record, it had traveled new from Solihull to Vienna, Austria, where the fire-equipment firm, Rosenbaur, kitted it out. It spent its firefighting life with the Palfau Fire Brigade until its retirement in 2003, with only 11,000 miles on the odometer. In 2005, it found its way to John Dorr in New York, who put it up for sale. On the day of purchase, I asked John if the 109” would make the hour’s drive to our New Jersey home. He said that “the 109 could travel to South America if I wanted – but very slowly.”

With that assurance, I headed out and can still re member the first sensations of minimal power for highway hills, the absence of power steering, the direct communi

cation with the road and the sense of quality and steadfast ness. It had so much character – form and function to the max. Every detail and feature was scintillating; for example, the clever window shade radiator muff. For its age, every thing seemed to be in remarkable condition; clearly it had been well cared for, as one would expect of an emergency fire appliance.

Over many summers, we used the Defender 90 for beach cruises and excursions through the Nantucket moors. Our daughters would giggle incessantly as we plowed through the large mud puddles that would form after a rainfall. There is nothing as fine as heading down the beach just yards from the breakers in 4th gear low range.

The 109” took over for family gatherings when we would all pile in with kids in the “way back.” Its age allowed us to enter it in the annual Nantucket Daffodil Festival antique car show, parade and picnic. Our family had so much fun and we gained permission to use the blue lights and really loud European sirens while driving in the parade. Together, the Defender 90 and 109” seemed like the perfect combination of Rovers for island/vacation fun and adventure.

In 2008, I had the 109” repainted from its fire-engine red to green. I retained the spotlight tower with Bosch sirens to set it apart from the ordinary Land Rovers (if there is such a thing). Five years later, the an noyance of having to rent commercial garage space for winter storage of our Land Rovers began to wear on us. In a weak moment, I sold the 109” to an island acquaintance, who subsequently entered it in the

Daffodil Festival Parade and won – twice!

Once again, I cov eted a Land Rover –but this time, I decided to source a Land Rover 110 from the UK and found one at a special ist shop. I chose the colors and kit, and then waited, and waited, and waited well beyond all reasonable expectations as to when the 110 might make its way to the US. It finally arrived in 2017 and immediately turned from nirvana to a nightmare. I extricated myself from that Land Rover after a necessary engine swap from a blown 19J to 300 Tdi. I replaced it with an ’87 110 County Station Wagon, also an ex-fire tender, from northern Italy. It came with a log book that meticulously recorded each trip, its purpose and even each driver! That validated its 10,000 km on the odometer. Nirvana – it retains all the original decals and labels, and even smells new inside.

Fate intervened when its Nantucket owner offered the

109” back to me.

‘‘ ’’

In 2019, my collection grew to in clude a ’94 Arles Blue NAS D90 soft top, with the 5-speed manual transmission, the original Tickford soft top and rear taillights. Minor upgrades included a Borla exhaust, 2” wheel spaces, a fancy stereo system and, most importantly, a POR 15 treatment on the undercarriage. (The Arles Blue color, which I consider stunning on a Defender, had only been available that one year.)

With my Defender itch thoroughly scratched, I turned my focus back to Series Land Rovers. By 2020, I really rued my decision to sell my 109”. Fate intervened when its Nantucket owner offered it back to me. While I really had enjoyed it during my previous ownership, I didn’t have the knowledge or experience at the time to truly appreciate the metal dash, original interior and unmolested nature of such a classic Land Rover. And most of all, its personality.

I do now. So much so, that when a ‘62 109” 2-door soft-top came along, I bought it to serve as the perfect mate to the other 109”. The new 109 “Beach Runner” was a frame-up build on a galvanized frame. I loved the idea of its canvas top, removable door tops, banjo steering wheel, parabolic springs, deluxe bonnet, Winterburn electronic ignition and – ironically – its Kodiak heater. “Dakota” would later gain a Roa merdrive unit and an Aeroparts capstan winch.

In 2021, I realized the time had come to find a Series I to add to my classic Land Rover collection. I had known of George Hughes’s ’54 Series I 86” soft-top for some time as his company, Authorized Im ported Cars in Flemington, NJ, had become my “go to” shop. George and I would sometimes joke about my one day owning his Series 1 86”, “Molly” (named after the “Unsinkable Molly Brown”). He had kitted it out for off-roading with differential and gas tank guards and air lockers, but included parabolic springs and a Roamerdrive for road use.

The sale of Molly came to pass and George confidently said to me, “You will like driving Molly more than all your other Landys.” Indeed, Molly’s short wheelbase, light weight, and sweet 2.0L engine allows her to just scoot along on and off the roads. Of course, driving each Land Rover brings a smile to my face – I mean, what could be better than that? ///

Summit Meeting:

Story: Jeffrey Aronson; Photos: Jeffrey Aronson, David Short

Rover Owners of Virginia (ROAV) holds two large events annually: October’s Mid-Atlantic Rally (MAR) and April’s Rovers at Wintergreen (RaW).

MAR centers around a weekend of camping, early foliage, time spent in or under tents and significant offroading opportunities on trails created by diabolical vol unteers. Think “Deliverance” without the banjos or frightening family arrangements.RaW,which I had the pleasure of attending, boasts the comfort of a fine ski resort. Indeed, in addition to some of the finest ski runs in Northern Virginia, Wintergreen hosts several fine restaurants with excel lent food, a support staff to ease the challenges of the club volunteers, heat and/or warmth in your individual room, and brilliant views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. There’s a subversive pleasure in driving your Rover underneath ski lifts on fire roads and trails. Think “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” but in Land Rovers, not Ferraris.

To add to my upscale experience at the Winter green Resort right from the start, I decided to fly to Washington and have my chauffeur – I mean ROAV president and event organizer David Short – whisk me across the Blue Ridge Parkway to the event. Well, since we drove in his ’80 Stage 1, perhaps “pound” should replace “whisk.” Thoughtfully, David provided a full jar of disposable earplugs to choose from. I’d like to believe that their presence arose out of concerns for aural safety, but I fear he brought them so he didn’t have to listen to me.

You can gauge the popularity of ROAV at Wintergreen from the distances that enthusiasts drive to enjoy the mountains. For example, Raub Robinson drove from his job in North Dakota; Gustav Dow trav eled all the way from California. Ron Peppard came from Massachu setts; Carlos Melo, Leny Soberanis and their respective dogs arrived from New York City. Numerous license plates from Virginia and

neighboring states further demonstrated the popularity of the event. All in all, ROAV tallied over 100 different Land Rovers registered, with plenty of additional family members present for the long weekend. Jesse and Kendra Martin, Charlotte, NC, spent considerable time chasing their two sons – who were clearly having a good time. It was also won derful to catch up with long-time attendees/enthusiasts David Powers, Doug and Trey Crowther, Kraig Mackett, Marlon Bevans, Christian Toth, Helene Raynaud, Daryl Beasley and Regina Recifo, Robert Davis, Peter Cosmides, Mark Formanek, Mark Garrenton and Russell Green, among many others!

ROAV has a well-deserved reputation for strong organization at all of its events; this year, the Wintergreen trail rides included skilled guides who led beginner, moderate and advanced level challenges. David Short, Bob Steele, Tyler Smith, Larry Michelon, Tim Coats, Sarah McCaig, Mike McCaig and Mike Boggs gave of their time and leadership capabilities to keep the weekend entertaining. As you’d expect at a ski area, Winter green’s trails are steep, narrow, twisty and rocky. In wet weather, they’re a handful; in this year’s drier climate, they still felt daunting.

I jumped in with Clay Ayers for one morning trail run, led by Mike Boggs. Clay needed little assis tance as he skillfully helmed his Defender 90. We wended our way up and down significant in clines and descents, all the while navigating offcamber trails through tight turns around large trees.

I watched experienced offroaders such as Catherine Mannis (and her son, Cody), Doug Crowther, Charles Galpin and Ron Peppard inch their Land Rovers over rocks and around obstacles as gravity tried to send them careening into trees. In these instances, Mike demonstrated his skills as a trail leader. He re mained calm, reassuring and capable as he guided his convoy. We would stop at each possible trouble spot so Mike could marshal his group ef fectively. Some winching proved helpful when the trail’s camber proved too much for downhill turns. His instructions reminded me that balance remains critical when off-roading; learning how to “bounce” your Land Rover, using gravity and momentum as opposite forces, can become very helpful in tight situations.

Later, I joined Lawrence Michelon in his ’88 Range Rover Classic. “I’m a fan of the Range Rover,” he told me, as we glided gently along the narrow trails [He also owns a stock ’89 Range Rover Classic -ed.] From a passenger’s viewpoint, there’s something very elegant about the

cabin of the Classic. The thin windshield and door pillars accentuate the seemingly vast greenhouse of the vehicle, but its compact dimensions in terms of wheelbase and width make it nimble and accommodating on what otherwise might seem like challenging terrain.

While the “Advanced” and “Moderate” trails appeal greatly to the many experienced off-roaders, the Wintergreen event also attracts more novice enthusiasts. Bill Rickman, Richmond, VA, grew up with his family’s Series IIA 109” but drifted away from Land Rovers for many years. Now, he works at Sarek Autowerke and brought his ’06 LR3 for its debut off-roading experience. An exposed wire caused a problem with the air suspension system, but otherwise, he found the LR3 supremely capable and very entertaining. Virl Ritchie (Defender), Daniel Sheets (Range Rover L322), Thomas Victors (LR4), Jack Rushing (Series) and Rob Richardson (Series) all enjoyed the “light” off-roading.

Land Rover Richmond

Land Rover Richmond (VA) harkens back to 1988, when then-Range Rover North America selected its first dealerships. “It’s remained a major supporter of the Rover Owners of Virginia (ROAV) club over the dec ades,” noted Bob Steele, past president of ROAV.

“Land Rover Richmond has believed in the value of supporting local enthusiasts, the fellowship of our club, and the value it brings to the marque,” Bob continued. “I think they’ve been with us since our first MAR in 1994, and have supported us through thick and thin.”

A Buffalo native, General Manager Matt Bigelow began working at Land Rover Richmond in 2003. He also appreciates the connection with the club, noting, “Jaguar Land Rover Richmond has enjoyed our long partnership with ROAV and will continue to support our mutual inter ests in the JLR brand going forward. As a dealership, we recognize the importance of participation at the club level and welcome all Land Rover enthusiasts to stop in and preview our evolving brand and new model

Thevehicles.”dealership is part of the Hyman Brothers Automotive Group, founded 72 years ago. Haywood and Thomas Hyman remain very in volved, securing the Jaguar franchise for the dealership three years ago.

Land Rover Richmond began supporting Rovers at Wintergreen with its first iter ation in 2013. Their “pre-worn” hats have become iconic swag for at tendees. Matt jokes that he “put the bite marks in the brim” himself.

Fortunately, the dry surfaces helped even the steepest ascents and des cents prove manageable – perhaps to the relief of some less-experienced off-roaders. At every juncture, trail leaders and participants alike sought to assist novice off-roaders as needed.

Katherine DeRosear and Rob Richardson brought their sons, Liam and Jackson, in their ’72 Series III, purchased only a short time before the event. “We had owned a one-year-old ‘04 Discovery II two decades ago,” noted Katherine. “When we bought ours, we went to an off-road day at the Homestead and drove around on the trails. We were taught how to use the Land Rover’s capabilities. I don’t like mountains to begin with, and with the ascents, descents and side slopes, I didn’t want to fall

off the side of the hills! Matt Bigelow of Land Rover Richmond took us out on the course and tried to push it over, just to show me just how capable the Discovery was.”

“I wanted a Land Rover again,” Rob confided. “This Series III had been owned by a farmer in South Carolina but had sat for a long time. I had it trailered to Richmond, and Gregg McClellan’s Paradise Garage took it on. It needed a lot of welding, as well as new springs, bushings, outriggers and a rear crossmember. I wanted it ready for Wintergreen.”

Jeremy Gallagher, a mechanic at the garage, confirmed, “it was pretty rusty and rough when it came in here. We did a lot of welding work on the back half of the frame. I told Rob that I go to a lot of off-road, rock-crawling events, and that he’d be surprised at just how capable they are!”

Indeed, on the Wintergreen trail runs, Rob found the Series III “very ‘trucky’ – making a lot of noises at speeds of 3–5 mph. I followed David Short going down the mountainside and got to the first creek. We watched the Rovers go through the water cross ing, and then, when it was our turn, we got high centered on a rock. Every one moved to help. I had a tow rope and the Land Rover behind us had a winch. A quick tug pulled us off the rock, and off we went. “

Katherine enjoys riding in the Series III. “No matter where we are, I feel as though we’re in a parade,” she said. “It makes people smile at us. We like to go to live music and breweries. We get a lot of questions when we stop. It’s a good conversation starter. And it was great at Wintergreen!”Jackson,age

22, noted that “I liked learning how to drive it. It feels like I’m actually a part of the vehicle.” Liam, 19, agreed. “I had no idea of the differences between a Series Land Rover and a Defender,” he laughed. “After Wintergreen, I do! I’d also never driven a manual transmission vehicle before. It was difficult at first to get a feel for the clutch action and the gears, but it’s really nice to be in an older vehicle. I showed it to a Jeep friend – I think he’s envious.”

The Series III “ran well enough at Wintergreen, but it had a Roch ester carburetor on it and at times, it seemed problematic,” Rob said. “Mike McCaig worked on it, as did two enthusiasts from Tennessee, but it never seemed quite right at the event.”

“Afterwards, Mike connected me with Ben Saunders, who works on Rochesters. He said, ‘Bring the Land Rover out to me,’ so I did. We spent four hours of work and chatter, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. It turned out that the top part of the carb had seized up, and he also gave me a new fuel pump.” Here I am, brand new to the club, and 40-year members helped me! This is an amazing group.”

Land Rover RNA

Text and Photos: Stan Daniels

This is a single strand of RNA that folds back upon itself. Highlighted are the nucleobases (green) and the ribose-phosphate backbone (blue).

While I've certainly heard the expres sion, "Land Rovers are in my DNA!" tossed around over the years, I have actual proof that Land Rover RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) actually exists. Allow me to present my scientific findings.Amonth after my birth in 1970, an amazing set of parents adopted and raised me in Richmond, VA. They often recounted the unusually frigid evening on the night before Thanksgiving, when an agency answered their prayers and my adoptive parents brought me home for the first time. The appropriate agency could only share that my birth parents were very young and very, very kind. Over time, we would use our collective imaginations to color in all of the missing bits, but the narrative was always one of love.

My genetic connection to the marque had to wait until 1989, my senior year of high school, when I spotted an Alaskan Blue Range Rover Classic in my Richmond neighborhood. I had never seen anything like it – a mix of elegance and, “Let’s do this!” From that moment on, I always kept a keen eye out for them on the road, and would always make a point to wander through the Land Rover Paddock at the annual Straw berry Hills Steeplechase. That’s where I saw the first Discovery II that snapped my head around – a gorgeous Armada Gold number that never left the back of my mind.

Fast forward to 2013, a month before my wed ding, when my fiancée mentioned we should look into a thatatelyrescue.withhervehiclebiggertosupportvolunteerworkalocaldogIimmedithoughtoforiginalDiscovery,

and after a brief online search I found the per fect companion: a well-cared-for ’01 Discovery II in Chawton White (named DeeDee!). Numerous rescue dogs, as well as our two 100-pound Akitas, thoroughly enjoyed the rear cargo area – as did our friends at Carolina Panthers tailgates. And despite her off-road capability, Dee Dee’s two shining moments actually occurred on-road: delivering me safely through a Christmas Day whiteout blizzard along Lake Erie, and traversing the sidewalks and darting across the medians of Uptown Charlotte as I shuttled my restaurant employees through the chaos of the 2016 riots.

Still, the luster of that first Range Rover never dimmed, so in 2019 I started looking for a companion for DeeDee and unearthed a nearperfect condition ‘08 HSE in Zermatt Silver. The “Silver Surfer” quickly lived up to its name, exploring the beaches of Corova, Rodanthe and Buxton in North Carolina’s Outer Banks, and then the mountain trails of Virginia at ROAV’s 2021 & 2022 Rovers at Wintergreen events.

Stan Daniels

Fast forward again to a week after my 50th birthday (a lot of stuff happened in the interim!), and my parents received a call from the ap propriate agency requesting my contact information so my biological family could share some non-emergency medical information with me. Being the type to always take on a new adventure and figuring (cor rectly, I might add) that the timing would suggest an attempt at con tact rather than simply adding to my physician’s patient file, I reached out to the agency’s Search and Reunion Specialist to take the next step. And what a step it was!

After giving my consent, we began the layer by layer peeling of the proverbial onion, starting with a letter left for me by both birth parents ten years prior on my 40th birthday. I was encouraged to reply to them via email, and was assured we could begin non-identifying communica tion while the agency began to initiate the lengthy process required be fore initiating direct contact. By the time I finished reading Nancy's first reply (I now knew my birth mother’s name!), I realized I was in for a heck of a wild ride that would reveal some incredible coincidences and a trail of tasty breadcrumbs that would lead me to her well before the agency deemed it permissible.

In her letter, Nancy painted a wonderful picture of her life (nonidentifying of course!) with her husband Mike, daughter Sarah and son Adam (I had siblings!). She spoke of their family’s love of the outdoors and their mid-1800s Central Virginia farmhouse, which was a perfect setting to enjoy all things equestrian and… Land Rovers! Pure music to this Discovery II and L322 owner’s ears! After the initial elation of this discovery (pun intended) wore off, I realized that I might just have some

useful clues imbedded in the text to start my own cyber-search for Nancy and circumvent that pesky waiting period. So off to the ROAV website I went…Toggling between Facebook and the ROAV site, I scoured the posts and chats for every Nancy, Mike, Sarah and Adam that I could find and at tempted to match them up with a Facebook profile that might fit the bill. After about 10 minutes, realizing that I might have a several-hour en deavor ahead of me, I decided to check the ROAV Board of Directors page. There I found a Mike McCaig –Vice President – at the top of the page, and then a Sarah McCaig – Sec retary, directly underneath. Promising! When I cross-referenced Mike on Facebook, the first photo I saw was him with the Oxford Across America Series I at the Cape Hatteras Light. Eerily, the photo mirrored the many I had taken with my Land Rovers at other Outer Banks lighthouses. Then I anxiously checked to see if his Facebook profile was private or public, and bingo: Married to Nancy McCaig! Daughter: Sarah McCaig! This had to be my clan, right?

As I pulled up Nancy’s Facebook page, I found the proof was in the pud ding. She had laid out every facet of her life that she had shared in her email: the years spent in radio, the horses and carriages, the beauty of Penlan Farm and of course all of those Land Rovers! After showing my wife Shelly my findings, we agreed to bypass pro tocols and I sent Nancy a Facebook message with a photo of me and my Discovery under the Bodie Island Light. The message read, "I think I found ya! And it was Land Rover that ended up being the link." After about 5 minutes, she responded, "We were always good at going in the back door!"

And kick the door

down we did! Once we started “catching up” on the past 50 years, we realized our uncanny proximity! My middle and high school building stood across the street from Nancy’s family homestead. My 5th and 6th grade cross-country course took me directly past their front yard. After meeting Nancy’s youngest sister, we realized that the two of us had briefly worked together in a local restaurant during my senior year in high school (I was a bus boy and she was my favorite server who always tipped me extra). And when Nancy started telling me about her years announcing the carriage parades at the Strawberry Hills Races, my jaw truly hit the floor as I realized I had heard her voice year after year while setting up our tailgates on those early SaturdayConsideringmornings!the role that our love for Rovers played in securing the connection, it made perfect sense that we would meet up at the 2021 Rovers at Wintergreen for our first family outing. Indeed, after the 2022 event, we had clearly established a new family tradition. How better to celebrate this uncanny link than an annual remembrance of how Land Rovers brought us together!

DeeDee the Discovery II is currently being kitted out for more se rious trail rides, and will soon be spending her days with my father back in that same Richmond neighborhood where my Land Rover passion first sparked up. And we eagerly await the 2023 Rovers at Wintergreen when we can drive the trails for the first time together! ///

While giving me a tour of his renovated antique Cape house, Paul Lewis admonished me with a smile. “You can do any thing that anyone else has done. The only thing stopping yourself is you!”.

I had been marveling at the many finish carpentry design details throughout. When I asked for the name of his builder, Paul replied, “It was me. I did everything but the chimney.” He continued, “All you have to do is listen to those with more experiences – I mean really listen. There is a vast pool of knowledge out there, in each person you pass. It’s just a matter of seeking that out and doing it.”

As a Land Rover owner, I get his point. I cannot afford to hire a mechanic for every issue presented by my Series IIA; I need to learn from other people.

Paul has an air of quiet competence about him that has likely been earned through several decades of thoughtful handicraft as a “panel beater” vintage vehicle mechanic, high-end sailing yacht carpenter and vintage truck mechanic. Sure, it’s ok to hire tradespeople for repairs and improvements, but walking around his antique house, I can feel the pride Paul takes in all of his work.

Chatting with Paul about his personal history and collective knowl edge, I think back to the Rover mystery that led to our meeting.

Many years ago, I spotted an immaculate FC 101 in the neighboring town of Yarmouthport, awaiting the dreaded Massachusetts Vehicle Inspection test. No, it’s nothing compared to the UK’s MOT, but only recently did our local inspection centers fall under state-regu lated surveillance. No longer could we

use the, “Oh, take it to Bob at Durham’s Texaco Station, he’ll pass any thing.” As I’m in law enforcement, I accept that the annual inspection process should weed out unsafe vehicles.

Driving by the old gas station, I marveled at that boxy beast, tower ing over cookie-cut sedans and run-of-the-mill Jeep Wranglers. They’re a rare find even in the UK – over here in the US, I can’t imagine there are more than a handful. Although I went on my way, the FC 101 lingered in the back of my mind.

Recently my good friend and fellow enthusiast Andrew Maker re marked in passing about his neighbor, Paul, an ex-pat UK army veteran who had a few ‘military-style Landys.” My ears perked up and the hair on the back of my neck stood tall – could this be the same FC 101 from the past? Andrew gave me vague directions on the whereabouts of this gen tleman and his Land Rovers and for months I kept my eyes peeled, hop ing to catch a glimpse. My luck turned when, driving down a narrow street, I noticed the back end of a military Lightweight emanating from an old carriage house. Looking around, the setting seemed right out of England: a narrow, sunken street bordered by old stone walls and stately barns. I noticed the owner of the property nearby, mowing the grass in an apparent ‘break’ from splitting firewood. I parked and approached him, holding out a Land Rover decal (my olive branch to another Land Rover owner).

Paul dismounted from his John Deere and we met in front of his Land Rover. After explaining my fasci nation with the 101, and seeing that I wasn’t

just a tire (tyre) kicker, he asked if I wanted to take a stroll to see it. Peering back at the colonial-era carriage house, I wondered how an extremely large piece of military equipment could fit inside. We walked down that same narrow drive to a neighbor’s home, giving us enough time to share our common interests (my father’s favorite tactic when meeting new people). Paul slid open the vast wooden door of the an tique barn and – ah! – inside sat a thing of beauty: a Forward Control 101 GS. I had found it at last.

Circling the Land Rover in awe, I asked Paul what made him want a 101. “I guess it was its rarity and uniqueness” he responded. “I think we all strive to be different and to stand-out in a crowd. Plus, I’ve seen the 101 in action, doing what it was intended to do; it has a massive range of capabilities.”Paul’sstory began in St. Albans, Hertfordshire, around 25 miles north of London, where he was exposed to Land Rover ownership at a young age. “When I was 14, my father purchased his first new vehicle, a ’72 Series III SWB. He went on to restore an early Series I, a Series II, a ‘96 Range Rover and finally a Defender 90 County V8.”

As an escape from home life, Paul joined the Royal Military Police in 1976. When not assigned to normal patrol functions, he performed “signal operations,” essentially “idiot-proofing” convoy routes. In this capacity, he first saw the newly issued FC 101. “My first encounter with 101s was when stationed at Aldershot. While on general duties, we were ordered to the MT (Mechanical Transport) section to prepare vehicles for exercise, and I came face to face with my first 101, still in its new bronze green livery, but with a crumpled front end. It had been im pounded by the SIB (Special Investigation Branch). Apparently, it had been taken by an officer at Sandhurst Military Academy while under the influence and had hit a deer on the academy grounds.” Even in its damaged state, it made an impression.

After his three-year stint in the Army, in 1979 Paul remained in the reserves. His service gave him an opportunity to travel abroad to many interesting places, including Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. He recalls

Above: Paul Lewis

At approximately the same time as his deployment to Germany, Paul’s 101 was “manufactured” back in England (May 1, 1980). As Land Rover stopped producing the model in 1978, he theorized that his 101 arose out of the large quantity of spare parts. Paul’s 101, chassis number 960-00460, was the 14th-to-last 101 Forward Control to leave Solihull, nearly two years after the “end of production.” Thankfully, Paul has a treasure-trove of documentation, including the original MoD transfer certificate, listing the vehicle as a “Land Rover 1 Tonne Drop side LHD”. It showed the vehicle “cast” (removed) from service in Janu ary 1994 with only 2,241 miles. It sold at auction to a good friend of Paul’s for Following£5,692.50.hispost-service career as a high-end carriage maker, Paul emigrated to the US in 2001, settling on Kent Island, MD. He imported the 101 in 2003, and brought it to his newly purchased Cape Cod B&B in 2009. He chose to drive the 101 the 450 miles, clearly its longest trek. It now has about 11,000 miles but remains in nearly perfect con dition. This military survivor has “never slept outdoors,” Paul asserted.

It was evident to me that Paul spoke the truth. Walking around the 101, I looked under it to find maybe a tablespoon of oil on the other

wise clean concrete floor (and yes, Paul assured me that the sump was properly topped-up). The chassis didn’t have a hint of rust, the body had no dings, and no army mechanic had taken a paint roller to it. The canvas tilt looked as if it had just been unboxed and then ironed onto the hoop set. Paul climbed into the cramped operator’s cabin and sat uncomfortably ( I’m surprised he didn’t take his shoes off first before contorting himself to sit behind the wheel.). A twist of the ignition key and the 101 started on the first try. As my Land Rover is a Series IIA, I haven’t heard the sound of a Land Rover V8 in some time – it was me chanical music to my ears. Paul has one of the finest Land Rovers I have ever been lucky enough to see.

As for those commonalities we spoke of during that initial walk to the 101, Paul grew up just minutes away from my wife Meagan’s former home in Croxley Green. At different ends of our working lives, we’ve both worked in law enforcement. Like Paul, I pride myself in knowing how to do a little bit of everything and not needing to rely on others with frequency. I’m not quite ready to renovate an entire house, but maybe Paul can give me some guidance when the day comes.

It turns out, Paul and I now live about five minutes from one another on this sandy spit of land we call Cape Cod. I recently asked Paul why he chose my birthplace as his final home. “I love my neigh bors and the sense of community that I feel living here. Plus, it’s the closest thing to England that you’ll find in the USA.” Funny to think that for a majority of my life, an extremely rare Land Rover was tucked away in a nearby barn. Its owner may be from the other side of the pond – a “washashore” in local terms – but he represents the true qualities of a native Cape Codder.

oes absence make the heart grow fonder – or forgetful? When it pertains to the 30A Sand Rover Rally, the heart definitely grows fonder.

Due to pandemic restrictions, the last Sand Rover Rally event took place in April, 2019. Our Gulf Coast Land Rover Club members suffered from withdrawal, as this was the only large event within a 6-hour drive. Finally, in late 2021, we received word that the rally would return on April 22–24, 2022 – bigger and better than ever.

Mike Ragsdale, who had created and organized the rally every year since 2014, transferred responsibility to the very capable Daisson Hickel, a former Green Beret and Land Rover enthusiast.

The festivities began with the official 30A Sand Rover Rally Kickoff Party held at the Grayton Beer Company taproom on Friday night. The brewpub became an emergency stop when heavy rains forced a change in venue a few years ago; its hospitality and conviviality made it the go-to choice this year. Enthusiasts enjoyed cold drinks, good food and live music featuring the Pickled Pickers. Outside, everyone admired the many classic, custom and one-of-a-kind vehicles that filled the parking lot and overflowed onto the streets. I saw some great old friends and met new ones. We shared stories of past 30A events and caught up on the adventures of the last couple of years. We talked

about everything – vehicle repairs, modifications and trail rides. Stephen Ogletree, the founder of sponsor Adventure Motorcars, Birmingham, AL and I discussed our Saturday plans; he jokingly asked me to grab him a donut. I also spent some time catching up with off-road instructor and former Camel Trophy driver Bill Burke. Bill is a wealth of off-road infor mation, and I try to glean as much knowledge from him as I can. He also has some amazing stories.

Saturday’s gathering did not start until later morning, so we all could sleep in a little. My family got ready and headed over to the Donut Hole, a place that has become our family tradition for breakfast at the event. They feature good coffee, full breakfast options for my hungry sons and, of course, donuts. As we pulled into their parking lot, we spotted several Land Rovers – a sign of good food and great choice in vehicles. Of course, parking rules applied; it’s a moral imperative. We enjoyed a great breakfast and then headed over to the main event –with Stephen’s donut intact.

We all drove to the nearby Topsail Hill Preserve State Park. Unlike previous years when parking was first come, first served, this year 80 vehicles were selected for display. The rest of the attendees parked at an elementary school and were shuttled to the State Park on a

“Get a Goober” bus. We found a spot just across from one of our fellow Gulf Coast Land Rover Club members and had room to set up our day tent accessory off the back of my 2007 LR3 (“Brutus3”). The winds had picked up and unfortunately I had left our tent stakes at home. Thank fully, the Land Rover community likes to share, and an enthusiast loaned us some of his extras. With the tent squared away, we began our rounds of admiring the fun and unique vehicles.

I walked over to the Adventure Motor Cars tent to deliver the cov eted donut to Stephen, which he accepted with genuine appreciation. My next stop was to see my longtime friends Kip and Sean Eden of RMR4X4, also of Birmingham, AL. They brought their 2020 Defender TReK edition, a great looking rig. We talked about business, vehicles and the crazy things that can go on in a shop (I’m a Land Rover Master Technician). Bill Burke’s tent featured his much-traveled Defender 90 as well as a scrapbook of incredible photos from his Camel Trophy days. After spending a considerable amount of time looking at his scrapbook, I continued on my stroll until I met a guy named Enoch Elwell and two Land Rovers, a Discovery II and a 109”, from his Vintage Outfitting company of Chattanooga, TN [See Spring 2022 issue –ed].

Of course, I had to visit with my friends at Land Rover Gulf Coast, again the presenting sponsor of the rally. Having worked there for over a decade, it’s always good to catch up with them. Their parts manager, Mitch Ducote, had his ‘07 LR3 parked alongside the dealer’s new Range Rover and Discovery 5. I took a spin at their giveaway wheel and –SCORE – won an event shirt (too bad a new Land Rover was not one of the prizes on the wheel). Long-time sponsor Coastal Customs and Restorations out of Freeport, FL and new sponsor 34 North Defenders from Atlanta, GA, also had impressive Land Rovers on display.

The Gulf Coast Land Rover Club had a wide array of vehicles on display too. Although we’re based in Mobile, AL, the club has a strong presence along the Florida panhandle and throughout the Southeast. Mickey Slade, Long Beach, MS. brought his impressive FrankenRover, a Land Rover Series IIA body installed on a Discovery frame and power train. Longtime friends Anthony and Alaina Poole, Pinson, AL came in their Range Rover Classic. Jesse Jackson brought his ’04 Discovery II down from Birmingham. Mike Hall from Panama City, FL had his white Defender. Alec Breaud from Pensacola, FL showed his LR3; Ben Mont gomery from Fairhope, AL, had his soft-top Series IIA.

Heath Holmes brought his Discovery II down from Tuscumbia, AL. Daisson Hickel, the event mastermind, brought “Betty,” his red ’92 Defender 90 and of course Mike Ragdale’s “Truman,” the ’86 Land Rover 90 which has served as the event’s icon [See Winter, 2014 issue -ed.], and was proudly on display.

The following morning, we joined the trail ride through the pines and sandy trails of Point Washington State Forest. Everyone met at the YOLO Board Distribution center, located near one of the forest road entrances. YOLO Coffee graciously provided hot and cold brew coffee to start the day. Daisson, Bill Burke and I made our final plans for the 25-vehicle trail ride. Recent dry weather had resulted in several forest trail closures, but we would enjoy an easy, entertaining ride. We would convoy to an undisclosed location where YOLO Cof fee would provide a coffee stop. At the trail briefing, Daisson in formed the drivers of the intended route, and I discussed trail safety and etiquette. Daisson took the lead, Bill Burke took the middle and I was the tail runner. It was nice not being the trail leader for once.

There were at least 25 vehicles on the ride. The lack of rain made the forest roads dusty, and the mud holes of previous years were now just dry depressions. I enjoyed seeing so many off-road en thusiasts taking their vehicles out for a leisurely stroll through Point Washington. After several miles of trails, we made it to our destina tion, a large clearing in the forest that we had reserved for our event. We gathered for a group picture and a last cup of coffee before going our separate ways to Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.

It had been three years since the last 30A Sand Rover Rally. We have attended all eight of the events and enjoyed them all –especially this year’s. Maybe it’s because of the extra day. Maybe it’s because of all the great sponsors and old friends. Maybe it’s because we were just ready to return to 30A for another great weekend of Land Rovers and beaches. It’s likely a combination of all these. I can’t wait for next year!

Spring Break

By: Zack Griswold and Jeffrey Aronson Zack Griswold

Every May, I make a trip to North Carolina to spend time with my father. Happily for our relationship, he lives only 45 minutes away from the Uwharrie National Forest area. That’s where the annual Uwharrie Safari, organized by the Carolina Rover Owners Club (CROC), takes place. I’ve attended most of them; this year’s event was held from May In12–15.Vermont, we like to believe that our state corners the East Coast market for scenic vistas, but I’m quite taken by the beautiful topography of the Uwharrie National Forest region. CROC uses the National Forest trails for intermediate trail rides, and takes advantage of the privately owned Big Creek and Grand Overland terrain for beginner/advanced trail rides and overnight camping.

David Terifay, Statesville, NC, has served as the organizer and cur rently serves as Steward of the Trails for the club. He’s also a director of the Friends of Uwharrie and a conservation director for the Southern Four Wheel Drive Club. David wears these multiple hats with ease: “I try to direct enthusiasts to benefit either group,” he said. “I’m also working with Grand Overland on a grant to help them keep their trails. We have to help private lands so they can remain open for off-road and outdoor activities.” When David has a moment, he’s the Engineering Supervisor for North American Kitchen Solutions, based in Elyria, OH (Yes, he spends a lot of time on the road!).

“I did a lot of street racing in my younger days,” David mused. “My wife suggested that I should try something safer. My ’95 LWB Range Rover Classic lets me have a V8 again. This time, I’m going very slow though the woods – although at times I’m not certain it’s really safer!”

Trail leaders Jason Bayer, Larry Beckler and Jason Aston did a terri fic job of guiding and instructing. The “Honorary Land Rover An nouncer”, Rick Nowoc, played a variety of roles – “thrower of t-shirts, bearer of gifts, head heckler” – entertaining us all as we enjoyed Texa line Smokehouse’s on-site barbeque. CROC also appreciated Chris Cagle for allowing the use of his land for camping and event coordination.

I enjoyed seeing a wide range of Land Rover vehicles on the trails, from David’s ’95 Range Rover Classic to new Defenders. Since I had driven to the event in a rental car, some attendees drew the short straw and had to chauffeur me around – big thanks to Sean Roe and Graham Baucom for their Land Rover hospitality. With a weekend of rain pre dicted, I still saw 50–60 Land Rovers there. More enthusiasts had reg istered, but given the forecast, some chose to stay home. (Of course, it hardly rained at all.)

CROC has 82 members, many of whom also belong to the Old North State Rover Club. “We’re open to any enthusiast,” David said, “and our clubs do things to gether.” The next CROC event is “Summit to the Shore,” which starts in Asheville, heads east to Statesville and winds up four days later on the Outer Banks, enjoying distillery and cigar rolling stops while team ing up with Toys for Tots.

The first Uwharrie Safari took place in 2012 and the event has become firmly cemented into my calendar. I recommend it highly as the perfect Spring Break. ///

PROPER PLACE / PROPER TRAILS

In May, my buddy Mike Capozza, Scarborough, ME, called with a story. A guy named Rich used to work the night shift at the Portland Post Office, right near Mike’s plumbing shop. Thirty years ago, when Mike would spend late nights in the garage bay of the plumbing shop rebuilding Land Rovers, Rich would wander over to chat about his desire to own a Rover. Mike eventually helped him find a mid-60s Series IIA 88”, which became his daily driver. Rich moved on and lost contact with Mike two decades

Recently,ago.

out of the blue, Rich called Mike to say that he was moving back down south, and that he wanted to sell his four Land Rovers: three Series 88s and a rare NADA 6-cylinder 109”. My first thought on hearing this tale was, “There’s always room for one more Rover,” so I planned a trip to Maine. I convinced Mike Kenney and Bryan Wittler to join me in my Defender 130, and we headed to Mike Capozza’s home. From there, we headed further north to John Vallerand’s house in Greene, ME, where we spent the weekend.

After a hearty breakfast prepared by John, we took two 130s and zig-zagged on back roads to Rich’s place on the coast. Unfortunately for us, a potential buyer had already begun negotiations for the 109, but the

88s remained available. (One of those is still under considera tion by me; I really want to have another trail rig ready here in Brattleboro when friends come to visit.)Over the rest of the weekend, we sifted through John’s large parts hoard, where I found a really nice galvanized cross-memberrearfor

my Series III. Attached to a gnarled hulk of a rusted frame, it came off with a few quick cuts of a Sawzall. I also found a nice set of Warn M11 locking hubs on a lone axle tossed on a scrap pile. I was well pleased. The next day we went to John’s other property, where Mike and Bryan picked up random parts such as rear doors for a 109”. We ended up filling the back of my 130 before heading back to Vermont.

Gobsmacked by the success of the Vermont Rover Club Weenie Roast [See Spring 2022 issue -ed.], I’ve found joy again in the smaller aspects of “My Land Rover World.”

Above: Mike Capozza examines a rare NADA Series 109”

In June, my wife Robin and I went to Italy for a holiday. Upon arrival in Rome, we set off to explore the many aheadblinglossal,“T,”streetdownalleys.throughcitylandmarkshistoricintheandmeanderedthenarrowWhilewalkingarandomsidethatcametoawespottedacopartiallycrumbrickbuildingofus.Wetook a left at the building to walk around to the front side – I rounded the corner and came upon a camouflaged Defender 90 with the Italian Army insignia emblazoned on the door. Ignoring the building, I walked vigorously and directly to the Land Rover and started talking photos. When I got around to the drivers side, I looked up and realize that the building I’d been ignor ing was the iconic Pantheon – the architectural masterpiece not far from the site where Brutus stabbed Julius Caesar. The Italian Army guards most major sites of importance, usually in one of two vehicles: a four-wheel drive Iveco LMV or a Land Rover Defender 90.

Standing in the middle of the square was an Italian soldier, dressed in camouflage fatigues and carrying a full auto Beretta AR70/90 machine gun. I enthusiastically marched up to him and asked, “Is that your Land Rover?” His English was not very good (yet better than my Italian) and he seemed quite alarmed at my shouting and pointing at his work truck. I told him I was a Land Rover enthusiast, which he didn’t quite understand. Then he noticed my Warn winch logo t-shirt as I was gesturing gripping a steering wheel and moving up, down and sideways as if on a rough trail. Immediately he cracked a smile and enthusiastically (and slowly) started telling me that he is a member of an off-road group in his hometown on the island of Sardinia. He said that to be honest, the ‘92 naturally aspirated 2.5L engine was much too weak for the stuff he does on the mountain trails back home, but that it did the job of getting him from the armory to a cultural site every day for work. (It’s hard to believe that they are still using thirty-year-old Land Rovers in the Italian military.)

I returned home a happy man, having seen the most important cultural artifact in Rome – oh, and the Pantheon.

Since last April’s Weenie Roast, I’ve been lucky enough to hit quite a few trails in southern Vermont. I’ve exchanged many impromptu weekend calls with the few local enthusiasts – ”Hey, you wanna try that ridgeline between Townsend and Athens?” – and off we go. Sometimes it will be just two Rovers, other times four or six, but just getting out there resets the mind. Recently I joined Mike Kenney and his son Rowan, who had brought along his school friend, Julian. Mike lives in Taunton, MA, but has a camp in Vermont where he often leaves his Rover. Julian had never been out of the city before; this off-road adventure would become his first foray into “the country.” Overall, he remained quite reserved – until the moment when Mike’s Series IIa 88” started climbing 40 degrees straight up a ledge on Townsend’s Turkey Mountain Road. At that moment, Julian broke out of his shell with constant screams of excitement as if he were on a roller coaster ride! His cries of delight and his smile said it all!

At my shop, I’ve been doing a ton of little odd jobs on one of the four Land Rovers: the installation of new galvanized doors and exhaust hangers on the Defender; general upkeep on the Series III; rebuilding of hubs and windscreen wiper motors. I had brought the bulkhead of the ‘61 Series IIA pickup to Dewey Olson in Weston for welding and certain panel replace ments. The selection of replacement pieces available right now at Rovers North is amazing. It makes the job that much easier when all the parts are easilyLastly,obtained.I’m

focused on helping John Vallerand with the organization of his upcoming “Maine Misfits… and Rover Bits” event, which will take place in Greene, ME, as we go to press this August. Rarely has an event been better named – I can’t wait to share this event with you in the next issue! ///

Turn to page 14 in this issue and you’ll read of Nantucket’s famous Daffodil Parade, which celebrated its 47th year last April.

The week-long event includes a flower show featuring daffodils (there are an estimated 1,000,000 blooming on the island) and a vehicle parade down Main Street featuring many Land Rovers. “Daffy” events (parades of Daffodil hats, costumed children and even dogs) at Chil dren’s Beach help occupy everyone during the week. It’s clearly a big deal.Myisland of Vinalhaven, ME, has a robust, albeit smaller parade on July 4th, featuring locally – and hastily – prepared floats, as well as vintage vehicles. This year, I lent the QE I, my ’66 Series IIA, as the workhorse to promote the annual Duck Race [yes, plastic ducks]. I stuffed a few children (thank you, Ernie, Saylor and Marcie) in the back and pulled the float up and down our main street. Doubters crop up everywhere, and several “friends” sought to warn the kids to prepare themselves to push. Low-range first gear assured that I would not run over the Little League team in front, nor slip the clutch.

Our float won a “participation trophy” ribbon from the judges, which I proudly hung from the rear view mirror. Not a Daffodil Festival Parade, but a perfect venue in which to show off the QE I. If I had only washed it.

PROPER NOISES / PROPER VIEW

Land Rover has been a prize acquisition for many corporate parents. Several decades ago, British Leyland sought to create common parts bins from its many disparate marques. That’s how the 3.5 Rover V8 wound up for two years in the Triumph TR8 sports car – and why TWS Motors, a Taunton, MA TR8/TR7 specialist, decided to hold the 2022 Annual Gathering for both Triumph “wedge” sports cars and V8-pow ered Land Rover vehicles.

Well before the June event, TWS’s Clint Cooper asked if I could find off-roading opportunities for the Land Rover attendees. I turned to the Land Rover Experience in Manchester, VT, Ron Harrington’s Ridge back Guide Service for help, but geography and timing led me to Glenn Parent’s GP Rover Works in Woodstock. Glenn knows the public trails at the nearby Coolidge National Forest quite well, and has invaluable ac cess to a private fish-and-game club near his house and shop.

The off-road afternoon started with lunch along the pond at the club – the perfect venue for Zack Torman’s Range Rover P38. Clint Cooper brought his very handsome Discovery II. “Gilroy,” my Discovery I, looked decidedly shabbier in comparison, as its clear coat continues to

deteriorate. Glenn Parent’s ’73 Series III, featuring a custom Defender nose, led us, and David Bloch, Woodstock, performed sweep duty in his Series III.

Bill and Paula Munts, Athens, AL, own a TR8 prototype which they drove from Alabama to Ver mont just for the event. Although Bill owns an ’03 Discovery II, he said they’d never been off-road in it, so I invited them join me in Gil roy. The tight trails featured as cents, descents and spectacular views, and elicited plenty of acco lades for the Land Rovers from their sports-car drivers. At the end of the off-roading, Bill turned to me to say, “I want to be honest with you. Before this, I had been considering selling the Discovery as I wasn’t certain why we had it. After today, I’m not selling it!”

Thanks to JLR Vice President Stuart Schorr, I once had the pleasure of meeting Shadi Ameri and her daughters at their Edgewater, NJ, home. Her husband had imported an ’87 RHD Land Rover County 110 with a 3.5 V8, but sadly had passed away before he could enjoy it. [See Spring 2016 issue -ed.]

This past April 18, Shadi contacted me to say that with a daughter ready for university, her ’87 Land Rover would have to go up for sale. “Do you think anyone might want it?” she asked. Given the tsunami of demand for classic Land Rovers, I told her it should be a rapid sale.

I posted its availability on social media and – within an hour –Chris Velardi of Madison Motors, Madison, CT, messaged me that the

110 would be perfect for Justin “Bear” Laramie, Mendon, VT.

When Chris managed a bar in Killington, VT, he had hired Bear to work there, and to help man age a go-cart track Chris owned in Connecticut. “For years,” Chris said, ”Justin had seen my Land Rovers and always loved them. At the time, he owned a Jeep Wrangler that was barely held together. When I saw your post, I thought, ‘Bear would kill for this.’ I called him right away and said, ‘Don’t breathe twice – do everything you can to get this Land Rover.’ “

By May 7, Justin had completed the purchase. Chris and Justin towed the County from New Jersey up to Glenn Parent’s GP Rover Works, Woodstock, VT. Glenn changed out the fluids and gave it a “Glenn Parent supertune,” as sitting had not done it any favors. Since then, Justin has installed a roof-top tent so he and his three children, Angus (8), Brooke (7) and Scarlet (5) can enjoy it, too. They’ve named the Land Rover, “Treehouse.”

Happily, Justin and I met at the TWS Gathering Off-Road day, as he joined the convoy for his first substantial off-road experience. The first time Justin took it off road on his property, he recalls, it ran out of gas. After joining us on the trails in the Coolidge National Forest, Justin said, “I loved it off-road. It’s everything I could have imagined! I’ve kept in touch with Shadi and sent her photos.” As Shadi texted me, “Though it was quite emotional for me to sell it, I was so happy and honored to meet this man! He absolutely loved it and his excitement meant every thing to me. I know my husband would have been very happy!”

With the TWS off-road event under his belt, Justin is planning some significant camping time with his children in “Treehouse.”

made an awful noise. It was loose but when I went to tighten it, I real ized that the threads in the aluminum spacer had been reamed out of my bolts. I had no hardware with me, and with Anthony’s help, we tried to tighten the starter. No joy. Then we approached Bill Burke, and he pulled out a tackle box full of nuts and bolts. Amazingly, he had some thing long enough and the right pitch for the threads. That field repair got me home, and not long afterwards, I purchased the correct starter.”

My own “rescue” came along this summer when an island resident with a RHD Series IIA contacted me to say, “Help! I turned the Land Rover off when I parked it and now, nothing works at all!” I drove over to his IIA with a multimeter; his battery’s voltage was 12.3 V. The ground wire from the battery to the engine had significant fraying, so we had the local boatyard make up a replacement for us. Nada. Only sporadic lighting up of the green oil pressure and red charging system warning lights. I also noted that jumping the starter button contacts with a screwdriver, which usually produces a resounding spark, accomplished nothing. Finally, I removed the battery cables at the bat tery and connected them to a jump back instead. Instantly the lights came on and the Land Rover fired up immediately. The owner ordered a new battery and the IIA has run perfectly ever since – even though I worked on Whetherit! in Florida, Maine, or across the globe, incidents like these show that Land Rover owners go above and beyond to make certain no Land Rover is ever left behind.

Few individuals have influenced the Series Land Rover experience in North America as much as Rovers North’s Les Parker. His life with the marque began in the early 1960s when his father was attached to the Royal Air Force in Nicosia, Cyprus. For a 9-year-old boy, riding between electrical substations in an early IIA canvas-top provided an initial inspi ration in his life. When he joined the UK Armed Forces, his time with the “company hack” and its end-of-life clutch, wandering steering and du bious braking led him to work at a [then-named] Jaguar Rover Triumph dealership. In 1995, Les emigrated to the US to work at Rovers North; his sage advice, clipped accent and genuine delight in helping everyone have made him an invaluable resource and close friend to thousands –attributes that continue to this day.

Hayden Punch splits his time between working as a delivery driver in Mobile, AL, and for a rafting company in Utah. His ‘94 Discovery I came to him about a month before the Sand Rover Rally in Santa Rosa, FL. His experience there prompted Anthony and Alaina Poole, Pinson, AL, to contact me with a “Rover Rescue” story.

Hayden had owned his Discovery for about one month when the starter failed – just before he planned to leave for the Rally. As his Dis covery has a 2.8 L Isuzu diesel engine (“strong, but lacking power”), he could not use a stock starter motor. Hayden told me, “I had mistakenly ordered the wrong one, so at 2:00 AM, I cobbled together a spacer so lution, and not long afterwards, started on my way.”

“I arrived at the event and parked it next to Anthony and Alaina’s ’89 Range Rover Classic. When I went to start it up again, the starter

So when Les asked that his friends in the Land Rover community be made aware of the need for organ donors, I sought out authoritative in formation. Most readers will know that you can indicate your willingness to become an organ donor when you receive/renew your driver’s license. You can also find information on transplant registries at www.cdc.gov. To learn more, I contacted Paul McGee of the National Kidney Founda tion. Their website does a fine job of explaining their evaluation and screening

Front Seats in Elephant Hide Grey Vinyl

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 1,700 Land Rover vehicles rolling off the production line each week. Taking into account model variations and seating types, the result was over 1,000 seats per day going through the exceptionally busy trim shop. We now have a material that’s a superb reproduction with all of the features that are so important when restoring these historic vehicles. Now manufactured with modern quality vinyls that the same offer effect and long life as this classic material has done for over 40 years. Seat belts not included.

Digital Speedometer Kit for Defender

Non-ECU Defenders 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, the bright ness of the LED illumination, the dial color and screen color. The convenient auto-calibra tion feature means changes to gear ratios or tire 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 preconfigured 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 digital three gauge kit. This kit will incorporate matching volt meter, water temp and fuel level gauges. Adding these three modern instru ments will be as simple as swapping the gauges, plugging in a tidy new wiring harness, connecting the sender wires for your water temp and fuel level, and removing some of the redundant wiring. For more information, see our website. Digital Speedometer Kit for Early Defender w/o ECU 1983-1996. RNDSKIT2 $ 499.00

Conversion

The Hood

Designed and manufactured by Exmoor Trim at the edge of Exmoor, this 110 hood is made from Stayfast, which is a superb automotive grade hood fabric. Its three-ply construction makes it extremely stable, durable, and waterproof with very good acoustic performance.

A unique feature of this hood is it padded side curtains and rear quarter panels.

At Exmoor Trim, we use two layers of Stayfast separated by a layer of insulating closed-cell foam. This gives the hood extra rigidity to prevent vibration at higher speeds and helps to reduce the amount of road noise coming into the vehicle, with the ultimate end benefit of a truly high-grade finish.

The hoods are fitted as standard with high quality flexible windows in the side and rear curtain as well as rear quarter light windows.

The hood connects to the body of your Land Rover using aluminium ‘Z’ Channels which are finished in black powder coat and attach just below the body capping using black rivets. The lower edge of the hood is fitted with a sewn-in retaining strip that neatly folds into the ‘Z‘channel creating a very clean look with no visible fittings.

The rear curtain is held in place using a locking tailgate bar. This was the standard fitted to all North American Spec soft top Defenders with two locking mounting points on either side of the tailgate, which allows easy access to the back of the vehicle without having to open the tailgate (both clips and bar are supplied with a hood).

Both the side and rear curtains are fitted with heavy duty YKK zips for smooth and endur ing use, the retaining roll-up straps are fitted out with self-locking buckles so they can be se curely rolled up and stowed when travelling.

The Bar Set

Manufactured in the UK, this high-quality bar set includes all the hardware required to fit it yourThevehicle.hoops are fabricated from 50mm steel tube, and the entire frame is finished with du rable, hardwearing satin powder coat.

Once the roof, rear door and side panels of your vehicle have been removed, installation of the bars is a straightforward DIY job. We have a detailed fitting video to guide you through the process.

- Front and rear hoops

- Interim hoop and connect ing tie bars

- B-pillar support bar

- One-piece over door drain

-channelsSideofdoor drain channels

- Screen rail

- Tailgate bar and clips

- Z-channels

- Fitting kit with all the nuts, bolts, washers, and rivets needed for assembly.

- Seat Belts

Both the front and rear hoops of the bar set have seatbelt mounts built in. This means you have the upper belt mount and inertia real mounts for both the second row and load area. For the front seats, you use the existing mounts on the vehicle B pillar. The load area seat belts mounts are only suitable for forward facing seats such as the Exmoor Trim Loc and Fold or the Land Rover Tumble Down Seat.

Please Note: If you are converting a 110 Station Wagon, you will need to replace the rear door. The hood and bar set will work with either a swing-away half door or a dropdown tail gate.

Torque Biasing Limited Slip Differential Assembly, 3:54 Ratio

The key features are: Fully automatic, no driver input required. Totally transparent on-road, no adverse effects. Only comes into play when one wheel loses traction, i.e., a difference in wheel speed. Enhances the traction control as it multiplies the bias load created by the braking effect of the traction control. Needs no ad justment as the gears compensate for any wear that takes place. This Torque Biasing Limited Slip Differen tial works best with a good quality mineral-based oil; we do not recommend synthetic oils, friction additives / modifiers are not required.

The Torque Biasing Limited Slip Differential is a Helical Gear type LSD with six gear pockets. Fits: Defender 90 front and rear, Defender 110, 130 front only, Discovery I front and rear with 4-bolt drive flange, Range Rover Classic front and rear.

Rebuilt differentials have four new Timken tapered roller bearings, new oil seal and new drive flange. Ring and pinions are inspected for wear and damage — if they pass, they are reused, if not, new are fitted. An additional $200.00 core charge will be added to all orders for FTC3272A.

Summer 2022 has featured much of what we missed during the depths of the pandemic: movie premieres, beach running, camping, traveling to vacation spots, camps for the kids, and of course, the Solihull Society’s National Rally – which is beginning just as we go to press. Given the surfeit of sum mertime activities, the Sightings team again confronts a much larger workload. Undaunted, our intrepid Sighters have shared their find ings with us, for which we thank them!

As always it’s useful for novice Sighters and veterans alike to review the rules of the contest:

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 sur prised, 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 pub lication, we close off the Sightings; for this issue it was July 4, 2022. 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 enthusi asts, 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 refer ences 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, but all decisions of the Editor are final.

SIGHTINGS

To submit a Sighting send an email to sightings@roversnorth.com

Chuck Robinson, Charlotte, NC, watched a 1974 episode of Emergency in which the lead character leaves a party in a Series Land Rover. Ray Sisk, Hope, ME, spotted a “fake ad” for a Series 109” on a bulletin board in an episode of Grey’s Anatomy – good catch!

If you’re a PBS Passport member, you can watch the Annika series on your mobile device.

Movie producers have always had a soft spot for Land Rovers in their films. Patrick Holder, Atlanta, GA, enjoyed seeing a Defender in the British film The Gentlemen. TV directors love to include Land Rovers in their shows. Jim Hutchison Cambridge, MA, enjoys watching Magnum PI because his daughter lives in Hawaii; he was quite pleased to see a Defender pickup in an episode set in Kenya. Our own Thompson Smith, S. Lake Tahoe, CA, spotted the Discovery I on an episode of Annika on PBS. As he wrote, “Annika (Nicola Walker) travels to the Isle of Bute, Scotland and needs a car during an investi gation. The welcoming Police officer lends her their local, scruffy Land Rover Discovery I, all properly roosted up with mud!”

Of course, print media marketers always look to put Land Rovers on a page. Jim Hut chison, Cambridge, MA, read a New York Times article contending that an ’87 Land Rover 110 might be a fine alternative to ex pensive vintage cars. David Ducat, Lebanon, CT, looked past the Series IIA on the cover of Yankee Magazine to note that the Salt Cot tages, Bar Harbor, ME, ad in the same issue features a Defender 110 to capture eyeballs. Ian Marshall, Harpswell, ME, spotted a happy blonde in a Defender 110 on the cover of Hagerty Drivers Club magazine.

Online advertisers also adore Land Rovers. Thomas Martin, Chardon, OH, noted the De fender front end on a DJI Mini 3 YouTube video. Cars & Bids, an online auction auto site, featured a Defender 90 on their “front page” recently, noted Kraig Mackett, Perrysburg, OH. National Geographic Expeditions posted a spread of two cheetahs seated in front of a Defender 110. Adam Setliff noted the silhou ette of a Defender 110 rear door on a Go Treads online ad. Mark Hallahan, Jacksonville, NC, enjoyed the De fender in the EHar mony Australia video ad, featuring a woman surfing.

In the more unusual Sightings, Chris McCarthy, Virginia Beach, VA,

noted the drawing of a De fender on a can of Back Bay Brewing’s Hop Landy. As a retired Marine, he felt compelled to do his duty and sample it (“lives up to Solihull standards”), then pose the empty on the wing of his ’72 Series III, “aka The Leaky Cauldron.” The British company Tea Pigs dis tributes in the USA, and Jason Sheehy, Mount Sterling, OH, was quite certain the drawing on their bag of Tea Pigs Red Bush blend looked like a Defender. Marylise Fabro, Herndon, VA, caught the Series I in the South African ‘1st for Women insurance’ television ad. Charles Buchenauer, North Las Vegas, NV, found a Defender 110 on the main travel page of the Travel Nevada website.

Grace Howard, Flagstaff, AZ, works with the Student Conserva tion Association per forming site surveys at National Forests. She found a placard with a photo of a Defender engine bay at L&M Fleet Supply in Grand Rapids, MN. Sherry Block, Hadlyme, CT, noted the Series Land Rover on the storytell ing instructional site for SightersbuttheseCreativeLive.com.We’vementionedSightingsbefore,wewanttocreditforalltheir

efforts. Tiffany Hammer, Shelburne, VT, enjoyed seeing the late Series IIA on the cover of Yankee Magazine Sherry Block, Hadlyme, CT; Michael Stalker, Albany, NY; and David Russ, Lyme, NH, were happy to note the graphic Defender in the Michelin commercial.

Ray Wood, Powhatan, VA, spotted the rear view of a Range Rover Classic on the cover of a Gear Patrol catalogue. Geoff Jones, Amherst, NH, was happy that Yeti continues to use Land Rovers in their advertising.

Terry Lehman, Mt. Wolf, PA, enjoyed noting the Land Rovers in the Kiel James Patrick catalogue. ///
