Because they get under the skin like no other classic/historic vehicle. I've had a good number of classic/sports cars over the past 30 years...bought my first 911 at the tender age of 24 and have owned some really great cars since. But, and it's hard to explain, nothing feels like a Land Rover. I have a friend who's a great classic car nut, has a glorious collection of cars including three Series Landies. All three are crusty old heaps full of rusting and worn out character yet these three old girls get him more excited than the rest of his fantastic fleet.
I'm making plans for when covid's finally under control for a small group of friends, all Landy owners, to get into our non-trusty steeds and trundle over to a great rural pub for lunch.. This will be a warm summers day via the crossing of our local ford and tight winding country lanes to this aged pub [hasn't changed in 400+ years], sit in the garden with a hearty ploughman's, jugs of locally brewed ale, have side splittingly good fun, unique to friend's laughter and talk Land Rovers. You don't get this with Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini type folk
eta off now to finish wiring the engine bay...
