My name is Aaron, I'm 41 and just signed up, I grew up on a beautiful 1969 2.25L petrol Land Rover Series 2a. My father who was an entomologist in the 70s decided to explore the Sahara starting from Turin and passing through Morocco in search of North African insects and arachnids to study, so he went to a dealer of off-road vehicles only and to explain his need. you heard the answer "do you see all these off-road vehicles? you can choose the one you want, but I tell you honestly, AN OFFROAD MUST STILL BE BORN TO BEAT THE LAND ROVER IN AFRICA" it was 1970 and the seller personally went to pick it up in England . From that moment on, my father immediately went to work, I arrived with the canvas and going to Switzerland bought him the double roof cabin, then he thought "if the engine stops in the Sahara, I'm dead" and away ... . he filled it with tools that now look like a B17 plane, then roof racks, sun visors (from Santana) etc. After Africa he reorganized and left for another trip to Iran. Then after these trips, he always went to work by bus and apart from a few rides in the mountains with us as children, he never used it anymore. Now it is almost in place after a year and a half of work done by me.
