Rovers of Special Interest

ORC STAFF


The primary attraction of any Land-Rover gathering is the vehicle itself. The Mid-Atlantic was no exception. There were numerous Series Rovers, Defenders, Range Rovers and Discoverys. There were also some Rovers of special interest, even to those who own several of Solihull's finest.

Here's Scott Miller and his Series I Shooting Brake. This coachbuilt "woody" is a real rarity, and it's no surprise that Scott's Rover was voted the People's Choice award.

The Dormobile model is a favorite amongst Land-Rover fans. Providing a comfortable "home away from home" anyplace on earth you can get to. And because it's a Land-Rover, there are few places you can't reach. This particular Dormobile was restored by Robert Davis. Son Tyler's eco-friendly electric Rover can seen parked to the left.

My hands-down favorite was Jared Silbersher's 101 Forward Control. Someday, I'd like one with a radio body (hard shell over the rear bed) converted to a camper. Designed as a mobile gun platform and general purpose lorry for the British Army, the 101 is a vehicle designed for maximum functionality and zero creature comforts. Jared's 101 was voted the Most Functional Vehicle. They're very rare in the United States. This is the only one I've seen. Thanks to Bill Maloney for capturing this shot of me behind the wheel. I felt like a 16 year old in Dad's new Porsche. "Please, can I just take it around the block?"
