The RoverWeb was first written by Greg Hiner . In January 1995 Greg passed the torch to Ray Harder . Now (November 1995), once again, it has been passed on. The RoverWeb is being maintained jointly by Dixon Kenner and Benjamin Smith . Feel free to contact either of us about submissions or corrections.

The content includes what to look for when buying a used Series Land Rover, how to contact various clubs from around the world, parts vendors , A Register of VIN and limited edition pairs for NAS Defenders (110s, 90s and 90SWs), and serial numbers .

Latest additions:

Bill Caloccia maintains the Land Rover Owner email list . This list gives a lot of us a daily "fix" of Land Rover information. Last I heard there were over 1000 people on the list, worldwide. Click on the link for information on how to join.

Archive of the LRO email list from July 1992 to December 1994 (by month) and a link to some of the 1995 digests.

3D Land RoverViewpoint now has a model of a SIII 88" Land Rover (lrover.obj.zip) by F. X. DeJesus on it's anonymous Ftp server . This is a 3D model for computer animations. (This is actually a model of my (Ben) Land Rover, so there are some differences--such as the rear bumper--from a stock SIII. One of my coworkers made the model just to make a video to tease me. I've now seen the video. It features dust, a good simulation of wheels following a rough road and oil drips. At the end my Rover is destroyed by a Shadow ship as featured on Babylon 5. My Land Rover gets cut in half and explodes. It isn't pretty.
