Oh my. I was able to eat lunch in the time it took to scroll
through your lengthy diatribe. But your last sentence said it
all. You are like the kid in high school, who could regurgitate
facts and figures, but couldn't form understanding.
Whether or not the Wilkes brothers wanted people to modify the
Series Land Rover, the fact is it happened. It ended up being
one of the great strengths of the Series - the vehicle could be
modified in partnership with the owner. Take away that and you
take away part of what is a Series Land Rover. Any one of the
rag tag bunch of explorers and adventurers who have traveled
across Africa in modified Series vehicles over the years could
tell you that. I am sure they had little worry about matching
spark plug numbers.
But go to your car shows. Keep those part numbers matching.
Have "fun" buffing that paint job. Gosh you really know what a
Series Land Rover is all about.
