Recently I helped to rescue a good mate's 2A which had been resting in a field for 14 years. Unusually, it has been stripped of paint at some stage and looks remarkably good naked.
It's now en route to restoration so he's dug out his chequebook...

Love it. She was just waiting there for you to come along and give her some TLC.

How large an investment do you think restoration will run up to?

Restoration Will be 5 figures
And that's just parts

We do it for the love of land rovers. Not for profit.

Was looking at a basket case rescue in the summer.
Shell, engine and logbook.
Then common sense got in the way and I remembered Noel was still waiting to be completed

If you think that rescue project was going to be expensive, check out today's find. It's had two careful owners and I was officially informed that " she drove in there".
This will also be brought back to life. All she needs is some fresh fuel and a battery....

According to the sticker on the windscreen, it is a member of the AA. Can you call them out and say it won't start?
