I guess the reason we are on this forum is we love our vehicles, sometimes the look, sometimes the way they drive, sometimes both, maybe even sometimes neither?
Often what we like can be similar types or vehicle, I have many I would like, but two I own could be considered "Chalk & Cheese" as they say because they are not too similar.....although both British and both Green.
Not counting daily drives as work can often dictate those, what have people got that you would not obviously count as "similar"?
Mine as you would imagine drive totally different to each other, but in their own way I enjoy them both.
The Land Rover is a 1959 Series 2 with a Rover 3.9 V8, the TVR is a S1 2.8i V6

Do you have a big garage or does the Landy live outside? Looking at it's fabulous condition I suspect it remains indoors. Thanks for sharing the pics.
I keep both vehicles under a big long car port down the side of the house, all locked up and blocked in plus behind gates, my garage was too damp so best left outside undercover to let air flow around.

As for the condition of the Land Rover, it doesn't always look like that as it does get used but not too abused. It has been to Belgium and France as well as various UK jaunts - and it does like a drink. Below are pictures of a very recent trip on to Salisbury Plain with some fellow Series 2 Club members, as you see it does get dirty laugh

I like the amazing self-cleaning/ mud repellant number plate! wink
Well spotted, I had to give the lights and number plates a wipe to remain road legal smile

Nice collection, even a pair of Motorbikes hiding in the shadows.
A mixture of left and right hand drive too I guess?
