1969 swb series 2a resto

so close, most of the landy is together now got wipers and heaters no side lights or main lights at front yet, handbrake problem solved but now need a new adjuster
interior pretty much there just adding door rubbers, floors then hopefully on to mot.


The new project (Series 3)t has diesel at injectors but no power at new glow plugs so a bit more investigating to do there before it runs.

Well all the brakes are working, had to replace the cylinders, handbrake works. all the lights work apart from main headlight so a little more wiring left to do.

few more little bits on the exterior then off to the mot centre.

Series 3 runs but dosent have any drive, have tried starting it in gear and nothing happens, so no flood bashing just yet.

pictures arnt working will try again later

Bob Marley's Land Rover Defender being moved to ATL Land Rover - YouTube


"After 25 years at 56 Hope Road, St Andrew, Bob Marley's Land Rover - which he drove all over the Corporate Area and to rural Jamaica - hit the road for Montego Bay, St James, yesterday afternoon.
It did not leave the Bob Marley Museum under its own power, as what was reputedly the late reggae singer's favourite vehicle has been taken to local Land Rover dealer ATL's Montego Bay offices to be assessed ahead of restoration.When it is finished, the museum and Bob Marley Foundation's general manager, Jacqueline Lynch-Stewart, said the 1976 Land Rover will be put back on display at 56 Hope Road."
