Re: The future Saabrally hotel
And here I thought a LR Defender 110 couldn't possibly get any cooler...
If I ever strike it rich, I will bankroll the rally team and we'll buy this setup, I promise.

Re: The future Saabrally hotel

Re: The future Saabrally hotel
Seth,
When I was in high school I used to work for a guy doing odd jobs, yard work, etc... His family had made it rich very early on in the steel industry in Pennsylvania, so he spent his youth in the 50 and 60's traveling throughout europe and africa in land rovers. When I was working for him about (about 12-14 years ago) he had a bunch of old 60's land rovers in the field behind his barn. The township got on his case about the eyesore they were creating and they had to be scrapped. But back behind the barn in the woods there was a "safari camper back" for a long wheelbase early land rover. I remember it being really cool, mostly constructed of aluminum with all sorts of cubby holes for misc supplies and a kitchen area and of course a pop top roof. He told me all sorts of crazy stories about the years he spent living out of it, from the way he talked about it the land rover was apparently quite the babe magnet :) I could drive by sometime and see if its still sitting there in the woods, but if its still there the condition would definatly leave much to be desired...

You should definetely take a look. Its possible that its a doormobile which are quite rare and might be in better shape then you think. If its mounted on a rover its likely the rover itself is a rust case but worth finding out.
