As many of you know, I have been a car lover and fan of early Land Rovers since my teens. In recent years, I've been on a worldwide search to find one that was both accessible and affordable.

That search finally came to an end a few days ago when I bought my first Land Rover. We traveled to Norfolk, VA to pick up my 1980 Series III 109" 5-door Safari Wagon.

I'll be posting more here about its history, condition, and my wish list, but in the meantime, here's a photo of it taken the day we arrived home in Asheville.
