Ok, I consider my hybrid still a Land Rover. Some will argue.
What was a Series IIa, now looks like a Series III from first
appearances. Then you realize the track is wider than a
Series III, and looking underneath you find early Defender
axles and coil springs. When you lift the hood/bonnet you
find the early Defender 2.5L petrol engine, but when you
climb in the right front side, into the driver's seat, you find a
Series II bulkhead with standard gauges. If you happen
to take it for a ride, if you don't double clutch to get from
1st to 2nd you'll more than likely hear the gears complain.
Apart from different seats and the odd bit here or there,
I believe my hybrid is totally a Land Rover, just not very
original.
