Hi my name is Andy and I am a newly rebuilt and restored Series 2A 109" 6 cylinder Land Rover.

 

I was first made in a factory in Solihull, Birmingham, England in 1969.

 

I had a hard life and worked very long hours for many years and eventually fell into disrepair.

 

One day some men came and took me away to Scotland where, where I was taken completely to bits. I got a new chassis, and my engine was taken to bits and re-machined. All my body parts and galvanised components were taken away and re-galvanised.

 

I don't remember much about it, it was like I had a very long sleep, and the one day I woke up and realised I was being put back together again with lots of new nuts and bolts and hundred of shiny new rivets.

 

Now I look like I did when I first rolled off the factory line 52 year ago.

 

I belong to Mr Hugh and my Doctor when I was being operated on was Mr Graham who put me back together again with great precision and attention to detail.

 

I am running in at the moment and can only go about 50 MPH.

 

My favourite drink is petrol and I drink a lot of it particularly when I am thirsty and working hard going up hills.

 

Mr Hugh has told me that he plans to take me on lots of adventures which, I look forward to sharing with you.

 

At the moment I am holiday down at St Abbs in Berwickshire, Scotland, which is very beautiful and has lots of boats, and people and seabirds.

 

I might even get some work on films and on the telly. I imagine that happening to me after all this years.

 

I feel like I am the luckiest Land Rover in the world.

 

The first time I went out, I got very hot and I lost a lot of oil as my main crankshaft oil seal failed, however Mr Hugh took me back and got me fixed, so I am all right now and looking forward to all my adventures to come.
