This is just a simple pictorial history of my restoration of an original Canadian-import 1960 Land Rover Series 2 88" (or SWB - Short Wheel Base), LHD (Left Hand Drive) which I purchased in August, 2010. Later posts include photos of some of the things I've done with the vehicle since its restoration was essentially completed, although repairs and other maintenance are obviously an ongoing process. Words in orange are links. Click the photos to make them full size. Search using box below.

Pottering Around
When for a customary lunch time Land Rover drive today, for a bit of fresh air and to let the vehicle stretch its legs. At one point, there were deer standing by the road, and they continued to stay there when I stopped the Landy - and so I took a photo. Not exactly African wildlife, but taking pictures of animals from Land Rovers does sort of go with the traditional image. :)
Getting colder outside, -4 C today, and I notice the coolant temp shows that the engine is only at full temperature when at higher rpm's. Ordered a radiator muff a while ago, which I understand will be here in the next few days, and it looks as if it will be useful. In the photo below, taken today, the tires and mudflaps are showing that not all driving is being done on smooth paved surfaces.... :)
