The Rover-Landers of BC

A perfect Wet Coast day to rescue two Rovers from the wreckers. An intrepid band of Rover-Landers dared the elements to save them. The club is happy to report that both are now at new homes and will be (eventually) rebuilt to better than new.
Rescuers- Martin R, Jake G, Michael S, Don M., Michael F.

First look Friday rescue starts. First up, the Red 109 Pickup Yes, the Blue 109 wagon needs a new frame.....
Hooking up the trailer winch And she’s on the trailer!
Blue trucks turn....... Did I say it needed a new frame? Winching out of the corner She’s out!

Phase 2 - getting the wagon into the trailer.....

Hmmm. Seem to be missing some “interesting” shots. Might be able to add them later.

Here she is 1/2 in PUSH!!! And she’s in.

Next, loading all the other bits And heading out
Another job well done be the Rover-Lander Rescuers. Our motto, “No Land Rover is too far gone to leave behind”

:trailer:

Great job on a rainy day!

Yes, nice work guys, it looks like it was a tough wet day!
But always a good result when they don't go to the scrap yard :occasion5:

Hopefully we will see a couple of "Project / Rebuild" Threads starting soon so we can enjoy the full cycle of them coming back to life!

Lucky the blue one wasn’t “standard height” 😳

Finally, people have been trying to buy them for years

Like so many of you I’ve been driving by these for years hoping that someday someone would rescue this pair. Happy to hear they are finally in good hands.
