Re: SER1 Land-Rover "family tree"...

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2006/01/04]

G'day Paco,
What an absolutely fanatastic tree! Well done indeed!

Just a couple of points spring to my mind;

1. Shouldn't the 80" welder and fire engine be
included? They were factory made and were not really
suitable for use as anything else.
2. The Australian 6WD Perentie is incorrectly spelt on
your tree. A perentie is a large and and very fast
lizard from the Aussie outback.

I like the inclusion of military derivatives, they
show  how easy it is to build and modify any Land
Rover for virtually any purpose. Speaking of which LRO
magazine featured a Series 1 "Pink Panther" a few
years ago and the Australians also built the 4WD
Bushranger, which is still in service.

I used to have a dream that if I became a millionaire
I would open a Land-Rover museum. Now that I have seen
your tree I have dismissed the idea as impractical.

Have a great New Year everyone,

Cheers Charlie
80"
