AWD 2seaters but 2ends of the performance spectrum. Both a ton of fun in their own way.

Those land rovers are both in remarkable shape considering their age.

It is actually pretty surprising how many Series rovers are owned by fellow 6tt owners. Of course old Rovers all have stories, cannot count the number of people that stop by and make offers on it or end up talking of great length of road trips in one.

Ayup. I agree. I have three of them.

My latest rehabilitation project was completed Thursday:

Does anybody really need a 520hp wagon? Probably not, though it ought to tow the black 911 to some tracks farther away than I would like to drive to.

Thumbs up

Cathy's 2017 Golf R we purchased new and she still loves it.
I think it has like a whopping 16K US miles on it.

They have an aluminum body as well, don't they?

Remarkably devoid of rust I see.

Frame rusts, body survives... seems about right for anything British.

they are a labor of love but the ROI is there.
As Deckman said, frames are the key with Series Rovers starting with a good one and then regularly applying (lanolin based ) undercoating is crucial.
they are dead simple to work on, parts are widely available (minus the Porsche tax) and the community, like this one is top notch. These vehicles will help you perfect “the art of going slow”
