I owned a 1948 series 1 Land Rover (80" wheelbase) for about 10 years (actually I never should have sold it :-( ). It gave me very few problems in 100,000+ miles. The funny thing was many parts were interchangable with my dad's latemodel 109. It was fun to drive and took a sever beating without breaking. A movie company out here in LA rented it from me for a week to use it in an "African" movie they were shooting here (as a side line, all those shows you see car chases in - "Dukes", "A-Team", "Knight rider" and even "Air Wolf" are shot in Saugus, CA. An interesting place to live. Whenever you see the police have a street blocked off, you wait to see "who" is going to come racing through chased by a camera truck. Sorry, I'm rambling). I would not hesitate to own another Land Rover, provided I didn't have to drive it on the freeway! -Pete-

Aha! And pray tell, please, what happens on the freeway?
