I had a Series IIA 109".

Try Rovers North, British Pacific, they both have for sale boards. Also try the lro mailing list (which you can find via Google). Also buy the James Taylor book on Land Rovers.

They are great vehicle if you need/want what they are good at and don't need/want what they aren't good at. The former includes off-road work, rugged simplicity, and a unique style. The latter includes even minimal comfort, enough power to pass or climb hills at 55 mph.

Perhaps surprisingly, they are not particularly reliable. Mine broke a lot. However, it never actually stranded me. When the rear drive-shaft snapped, I drove in front-wheel-only mode. When the starter failed, I crank-started it.
