My brief Land Rover history, Hello and current RR

Hello all

Ive been on Defender Forum for some time but thought i would register here for advice, tips, sharing etc for full fat RR. I have been fortunate to been bought up with Land Rovers and Range Rover from a young age and while i dont want to bore you with every one i have owned thought i would post a few highlight plus say hello Thumbs Up

Land Rover and Range Rovers have been in my life for a long time, and my loyalty to the brand probably defies logic, i dont think there has ever been a stage in my adult life that i have not owned something with a Land Rover badge.

This is the earliest i remember apologies for poor photo quality but it is 30 plus years ago





My grandfather had a run of classics in various chocolate browns sahara yellows etc.


There is a huge gap in photos here with other various Classics and P38s that my grandfather and dad owned





This was my first L322 and RR which i owned myself was running my fourth Defender at this stage as well. It was a 2004 Td6 Vogue which was slightly modified with Overfinch kit, exhausts etc. got rid of 22s after about 6 months and went to Vogue SE 20 inch rims





Bought this somewhere in between, a 95 Soft Dash for a bit of nostalgia purchased as a non runner, then fixed and MOTd the money these are making now could have bought myself another RR Big Cry





I traded in my 2004 Td6 late last year for a 2010 4.4TdV8 couldnt quite belive the difference 6 years made here it is day i picked up from dealers





Have only added privacy glass and side steps although may make a few other subtle modifications. Another photo beside my current Defender 130 project





Last shot with side steps and privacy







Thanks for reading Thumbs Up and looking forward to getting involved with this Forum.

noticed your SC side grills are the matte grey plastic variety. Seems some come color matched to the body from the factory. Mine are the same as yours but I've been contemplating doing something with them. My Range is white though....been thinking about going with a stock-ish silver from OEM wheels. 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

Not sure if OEM or not compared to vents on previous L322 they are inferior quality. Must go and have a nosey about local dealer to see what others are like 2010 RR 4.4TdV8 Vogue
