One of my favorite features of older Land Rovers is the storage compartment under the driver’s seat. (Prior to Series III, I think this is where they put the battery but I’m not sure about that). The space is about 18 inches square and maybe 8 inches deep at the midpoint. No idea what I’ll use it for, perhaps a small bottle jack and some hand tools? I rarely go anywhere without my MacBook and frequently leave it in the car so I might stow the laptop here. There’s a small hasp for a padlock.

Someone (original?) had installed a divider at one point but I had Mr. Wolf remove that. He’ll brush on some paint but leave a couple of spots showing the original green color of the truck.

Looking at the photos above, I’m reminded these seats are for the Defender model. Not the original Series seats, which easily folded up to give access to this compartment. If that is no longer the case, I’ll wind up storing stuff I don’t often need.
