Jetwash

She didn't move an inch during the relay home - much to my relief as it was my first time driving a loaded transporter!

A good jetwash the next day brought her roof up bright and clean and revealed the classic hard top colour on her sides and cat flap.

I was now able to see she'd been painted green on top of black on top of green. It will be a long time before she gets a paint job but I doubt she'll mind. Far more important things to tend to!

Bringing Her Home

On 12th August 2017 I hired a transporter and returned to Camberley, Surrey, to bring home my first Land Rover:

Project Acquired - Series 2A Land Rover

On 30th July 2017 I paid a deposit on this 1969, H reg, Series 2A Land Rover:

I could see she would need a new outrigger, some patch welds on the chassis, a door post or two, a passenger footwell, and everything else you'd expect from a near fifty year old Land Rover that had been off the road for six years. She even ran briefly!

I didn't find a good reason for the previous owner to have taken her off the road - but I decided the price was right to survive a shock or two.

It was a long two week wait before I could return with a transporter to bring her home.
