Popular thread on other forums. I think it offers insight into someones formative automotive journey and how one comes to own Defenders.
I started with Land Rovers in the mid 1970's when I talked my dad into buying a 1971 2a 88 for me to drive into town to attend the prep school he'd decided I had to go to. The 2a meant my parents wouldnt have to drive my brother and I the 25 miles ea way to and from the school ea day. This list doesnt include the stuff I put my two ex wives and children into.
This list starts in 1977 and runs to present. So my list goes like this:
