Land Rover - Rebuilds In General

South Africa got a real boost with regards to Land Rover ownership around 20 years ago when the South African Defence Force started auctioning off redundant stock.

Very often these vehicles where brand new and they where often driven home from the auction site. A sad truth however, is that the troops often maliciously damaged these vehicles and the military maintenance crews where not as good as you would have hoped them to be.

Various SA-unique vehicles where available and made ideal holiday vehicles and campers.
Standard Land Rovers were also available, they quickly got bought up by the general public and various enterprising groups.

Today, about 3/4 of the series vehicles on the road are ex-military.
