Jeep and Land Rover

After listening to me talk about the mythical Land Rover for 15 months, some of boys at the coffee shop were wondering if it was real so I’ve been eager to get a parking spot out front.

That sweet Jeep belongs to one of the regulars. Did the restoration himself. Not a military model as it turns out. A civilian CJ (1947) that was made for the Corps of Engineers.

Roxor


“The resemblance between the new Roxor and the classic Jeep is no accident, mind. Indeed, the company began its automotive work seven decades ago, with a license to build Willys vehicles for sale in Asia. […] Unfortunately for those swayed by the Roxor’s pleasingly-retro looks – and its $15.5k starting price – you shouldn’t expect to see it on public roads. That’s because it’s not actually road-legal: instead, it’s intended to compete in the Side x Side category (“a small 2- to 6-person four-wheel drive off-road vehicle”) and be put to work on ranches and other off-road situations.” [Slashgear]
