1964 LR 109, Got it Home
I ended up flying one way to Dad's and renting a UHaul to tow the Rover home. It's currently stowed at my friend's business lot till I make room at home. I need to get my Subaru finished and out of the garage. Then I'll need to do some serious garage organizing. The top rack will have to come off the Rover to fit inside, though.
I'll just tackle the fluids, brakes, clutch, tires and just drive it like it is for now. My Pop...  Entering Az...  Finally home...  The route I took was I-69 into western Tenn to Dyersburg, then side roads through Paragould and south to Little Rock. Jumped on I-40 to Amarillo, then dropped south to 60 through Clovis and straight west to Arizona. Dad gave me 3 bins with tons of Rover parts as well as the factory Service Manuals. It's been a few years since I wrenched on British stuff. But don't worry, I'm clearly a masochist, which is a prerequisite, right?

Nice pass off Don's Dad. if the pictures are The thing to go by, Im sure your Dad is glad to see how happy this makes you.
That Land Rover could really open up some of the vast areas in AZ accessed by gravel/ dirt roads. Looking forward to some upcoming back road stories. Cheer Richard |

Wow that looks like fun. Glad to see you made it back without incident. So I see the NL sticker, assuming Dad's name is Davis, is your Mom Dutch?
