"Åtteåttin"

In the middle of the sixties the 80" had done its service at the farm when my grandfather bought a 1962 Series/II regular hard top. this car was my first Land Rover experience. As a kid I often played behind the steering wheel, I was at great adventures. Since it is a rugged car, my grandfather had no problems with me playing inside, utside or on the car. I was sure that the car was capable of anything, I knew it could drive through water and I also thought that the hard top roof could serve as a small boat if needed!

When my grandfather passed away in the eighties, my uncle inherited the 88" along with the farm. As a teenager I didn't care about the car, I had other interests, but it served on the farm all along. Of course there are a lot of stories about this car too, I like the one when my cousin hang out from the window when the door flung open in a curve and she was still hanging out from the open door. When my uncle straightened up, the door flung back and my cousin was back on her seat again.

The 88" is today running perfectly and is still in everyday use. It is kept and serviced in its original, not many parts are new since it has always been perfectly maintained. I have to say that this is by far the best Series I have driven!
