Inside Rolex's Manufacturing Facilities (2015)

Thanks. It's a 1987 Land Rover 110. It is ex-British Army and I bought it from a government liquidation firm in the UK and imported it myself. I did my own frame and engine swap on it so the body and interior are pretty much the only original bits. It has a Land Rover 300Tdi diesel engine.

I don't blog much but I have done a few stories for Expedition Portal:

Nice. I am from the Caribbean and I always jokingly say it is my aim to own a Land Rover series I or II and my own estate.

Its a reference to the colonial days in the Caribbean. The folks who had money made if from agriculture and used the Land Rover to transport goods and traverse the rough terrain.
