A Lot of Land Rovers

There's a stretch of North Aurora that's mostly car dealerships and repair shops. There you'll find the Land Rover guy.











The trucks pictured above are the Type II from the 1960s. They typically had a 2.4 liter gas engine that produced 72 hp. So not exactly a lot of power to get a two-ton vehicle moving, but then the Land Rover was never about getting from point A to point B quickly.














The above is a Type III from the 70s. If it really did drive from Morocco to Cape Town, that's over 11,000 km. Which sounds boring and terrifying at the same time.










Land Rovers from three different eras.













In the 90s, the classic Land Rover was called the Defender. They were only sold briefly in the US before lack of airbags forced them out. The Defender pictured above is right-hand drive and is probably in the country under the rule making it OK to import anything over 25 years old.
