THE LONG DELAYED PROJECT

If you’re into Series IIs you’ll probably be in the Series II club and the one thing you’ll know about Mark Ramsey is that there’s a project vehicle he’s been working on for how long is it? Getting on towards 20 years, it seems.
Here it is. But unlike most mere mortals, mark hasn’t given up. When he can do a bit at it properly, it gets done and when it can’t be done properly, the dust sheet stays on. This Land Rover isn’t going to get slammed together to meet an arbitrary deadline doing a good job is more important than doing it fast. So it may not be finished but what’s been done is to a lovely standard. Its short wheelbase Series II, and you may think there are plenty of those about but being a 1960 model market it pretty early and there are very few as nice as this one, which Mark is keeping hidden away. The nasty dirty chassis and below work is finished now, so it’s all downhill.
