This is my family’s third Land rover, and by far the nicest. It saw a refurbishment overseas before being brought to the United States under previous ownership. We have enjoyed the vehicle and have done our best to sort things as they popped up while also getting in front of general maintenance. Now it’s time to find a new home. It’s a good candidate for driving and maintaining as is or pursuing a more thorough restoration. Details as follows:
