Turks and Caicos Islands Rovers

#1 Post by StuartL » Thu Jan 09, 2014 12:52 pm

Hello all, I am currently in the Turks and Caicos Islands and am delighted at the number of Land Rovers here. They even have a Land Rover Dealership which I find a little odd but it results in there being quite a few. It's only day one but here a taste of TCI Rovers,

The Dealership Service Defender

My favorite, all "Field of Dreams" out back....

The Defenders seem to be the vehicle of choice for the contractors on the island, I am sure I will have more to share with you all as the week progresses.

I hope to see you all at Founders Day so....

It's a British Overseas Territory (i.e. the same as the Falklands Islands and Gibraltar), so not surprising at all really!

Caught up to this D90 at the traffic circle, I don't think there are any stop lights on the Island.

I am sorry to miss the AGM but as you can see I am very busy... 8)

Today in the Turks and Caicos Islands

I stopped by the Land Rover Dealer today and spent some time with the Service Manager, who is originally from Namibia (where I was in October) and got a great tour. He seems to do a lot of rebuilds rather than new sales because of the import tax structure.

Here's what I saw today....

This D90 is the most damaged one I have ever seen. It became airborne and landed upside-down on another vehicle, everything is bent, the engine split open. The driver walked away with two broken ribs.....amazing
