Blast from the Past The other day, during a mass culling of over 60k photos I have on my computer, I came across a collection that I took of a very rare Range Rover.
Around seven years ago when I wrote for Land Rover World magazine, I was asked to visit a gentleman in Cheshire who happened to have a 1978 2-Door Range Rover that was said to be in a time-warp condition. I was told that it was in fact the cleanest and most original Classic 2-door Range Rover in the UK. A bold statement, indeed. The trouble was, we often received emails and phone calls asking us to come and look at rare and interesting green ovals, sometimes they were simply run of the mill vehicles, and other times they were a pile of rust languishing in a dark and dingy corner of a garage. The article was subsequently written and promptly sent off for publication, but sadly a little too late, as LRW was doomed to be sold off to Land Rover Monthly, well, it’s subscribers list was, and my poetic prose was doomed never to see light of day, until now.
