Every time they get into a dark green Series Land Rover, they think how dark it is inside but it seems to suit this 1960 vehicle. Do you remember the 1960 proper summers, proper darkness at night and proper winters shoveling snow every morning? Everything was harder, simpler, and more physical. Slam the door there’s that timewarp, metal to metal clang. Strip up and we’re rolling having a spare on the bonnet doesn’t help with forward visibility, and that’s bit of a timewarp, too it’s not allowed on currently produced vehicles. There’re running on LPG but we can’t tell the difference everything produced vehicles. They run sound normal up front. Gear changing’s, no fuss steering, no fuss. In fact this veteran feels right and drives right it’s exactly as it should be.
Currant Land Rover still has the same body shape, so this Series II somehow doesn’t look particularly old but it’s nearing its 50th birthday. All those winters on slippery roads, all those hot summers working hard if only Land Rovers could talk. And all for price of a secondhand overdrive.
