A potential project waiting for an enthusiastic new owner. Near Limassol, Cyprus, South side of B6, West of Erimi. I'm surprised that one of the lads from Episkopi barracks or Akrotini airbase haven't bought it and shipped it home. It's a shame to leave it there rotting away ...

Have you got a Series landy ?

Not today.
I have had a 1964 Series 2 88" SW, a 1966 109 and a 1971 Series 3 109 in the past. At the moment I have a 1992 Fender, but I'm looking for a 1959 Series 2 (without spending £15k which was what was being asked for the last decent one I saw for sale).
 
My First Lady was a 71 S2a 109. Bought it for 300 and sold it a year later for 400! So long ago I think it predates MOT.
S2'a are often forgotten about too much focus on S2a's.

Godfather of the Land Rover still alive and kicking in Australia

ArthurGoddardLrChiefEngineer.jpg


The humble author of a major chapter of automotive history is a tallish bloke with a deep-chested laugh – and still astute at 100.

Arthur Goddard was the Chief Engineer behind the first Land Rover: the man who turned the vision of Rover’s Technical Director Maurice Wilks into a road-going, country-bashing four-wheel-drive in ten months.

Speaking to the team from ‘Engage 4X4’ – a new, monthly Australian automotive magazine – Arthur remembers those momentous days in 1947 and 48 as though it was yesterday.

Arthur credits the speed of the project – Maurice Wilks’ concept was a vehicle to chase defence contracts, and replace his farm’s Jeep – to Solihull factory teamwork, prompt decision-making, and an array of Rover car bits to pilfer.

Modestly Arthur says: “I could pick people to do the jobs. I didn’t have to be all that good myself because I had a suspension man I could pull over (from the Rover car line), a steering man, and so forth.”

Arthur says: “We gave people what they wanted. It’s pleased a lot of people, and it kept on pleasing people. We met a need. I must say some of the needs we met we didn’t know were there. On the other hand, some of the stuff we thought would be an absolute winner was an absolute woof,” he chuckles.

Lots more in the article. I can't find the article on the Engage 4X4 site though.
