Land Rover in Lebanon

[lebanon]

Hi,

during my week-end trips in the country, I find many interesting Land Rovers that I would like to post pictures of.

To start I found this SIII used during summer to water newly planted trees for a reforestation project and during winter to deliver diesel for heating.

Hi Lebanon

What type of trees are they using for the reforestation project ?

I see that Series 3, has it's working clothes on.

Cheers Arthur

[Sleepy]

That tank would be heavy when it was full:eek:

Mainly from the existing Mediterranean essences, pine trees, stone pine, kermes and holm oak, juniper.

The deforestation is mainly due to fire.

[lebanon]

Thanks and please keep the photos coming.





Erich

Would you be interested by the new ones as well? because there are a lot. I will only post newer models that come out of the pack.

[lebanon]

I met this couple with their children last spring on a mountain road leading to a Ski resort.

The vehicle is a stage one ex fire brigade. The seats are of a Range Rover.

P.S. Note the Air horn fixed on the roof above the Driver.

Are these tyres road legal or are they just clogged?

They were clogged BFGoodrich All-terrain.

[lebanon]

It has been raining for the last three days, when the sun came out again it was an invitation to a short trip to the mountains. I found those chaps refurbishing what seemed a SII or SIII. They were unable to identify the series, all they knew is that they were working on a Land Rover.

The shed is to have the front end covered by an awning.

I saw this beauty while coming back from work, sorry for the bad image quality, it was taken with my mobile phone.

This is the first time I see the Evoque on the road.

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2011/11/650.jpg

Now that is a serious off-roader.

[lebanon]

Now this is a beautiful restoration result. The vehicle is a SIII.

I will try to take pictures of its rear door as it is made of checkered plate aluminum.

[lebanon]

The P38 was not far from the three but with the limitation of the mobile phone camera I wasn't able to do much to include it the the picture.

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2011/12/1046.jpg

Someones attempt at a NAS90 perhaps ?

Someones attempt at a NAS90 perhaps ?

I met the owner who explained that the donor vehicle is a 1982 RR model and that all the rest has been constructed to his directives.

[lebanon]

This is the first 101 I see in Lebanon and its for sale for 14,000 USD :D

[Grumbles]

I thoroughly enjoy this thread. Good one L and keep the pics coming please. All those Landies seem to be in pretty good condition too - at least that is the impression I get.

[lebanon]

Hello Grumbles,

thank you for your comment it helps to keep on searching for land rovers in Lebanon.

Indeed Lebanese people are aficionados of the marquee, that is why they keep them in good shape.

Like this red 2 doors range rover that has been fitted with quiet large tires.

Note the quality work that has been done to shorten the roof.

Enjoy

Now that is a battered SIII used by a convent monks for Farming.

Now that is another rare catch,

a pristine series I

Again I am sorry for the bad quality of the picture, it was taken with my mobile phone.

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2012/06/648.jpg

[lebanon]

Now I think that this is a look alike Camel model. Could it be a factory limited edition?

Met those guys while touring the wine production area in Lebanon (Lebanese wine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, even though the landies are camel trophy lookalike, they still look great.

Very good mate. I take it that you guys don't have the same tight vehicle regulations that we have here.

[lebanon]

Very good mate. I take it that you guys don't have the same tight vehicle regulations that we have here.

You are utterly right. But what drew your attention to say that?

[Grumbles]

No offense intended Lebanon. Just the impression that there seems to be a lot of modified Landys getting around on your roads compared to here as well as a good selection of 'rough' examples that are on the road. Vehicles that wouldn't get past the first cop if they were on the road here.

[Landy Smurf]

thanks again lebanon i love the camel trophy and these look very good i would love to hop into that rangie and give it a spin

There no offence Grumble. I was just asking to understand what modification could have caught your attention.
Your impression is a 100% correct, I could give you many examples on that. On another hand we have many rules that are funny, for example a car will fail its annual MOT if it is fitted with extra driving light or rear working light, yet you could easily fit them for the rest of the year without having any trouble with the cops. It has become a yearly activity to uninstall them before the MOT to re-install them an hour later.

[Davo]

Damn, I like that. That's the way to do things!

[460cixy]

So that drag link bent like an s bend is legal but you cant put safety items on like driveing lights? Would explain some of the cars our local Lebanese drive here.

That is was we call extreme engineering [wink11]

Please tell me about the cars my compatriots drive in Australia, I have no idea. Any picture would be great.

[460cixy]

Mostly sedans lowerd on air bags till there on the ground with massive tasteless chrome wheels and all manor of bright gay purple and pink colors in some cases they don't seem to get in to the 4x4s much that I have noticed they keep to suburban areas mostly but I'm sure there's exceptions all the same. Any one in Sydney around lakeba would be familiar with this.

looks like it may have been there for a while

[lebanon]

I guess an early SII, it sits in a port near the Marine Fire Department station.

From the sockets under the tail light, the vehicle could have started as a military radio unit.

Mate you are true roverholic! Cheers:D

[Landy Smurf]

is it a stage 1 or has someone put another motor in and extended it?

[Davo]

Not a Stage I - look at where the exhaust comes out of the engine bay.

[lebanon]

Not a Stage I - look at where the exhaust comes out of the engine bay.

You are right mate, it is a normal SIII with its original engine, when I stopped to check it, the owner was starring at my 110, it shows that he would have liked a true 110 but since they are very rare in Lebanon he did the face-lift. Puma's are not sold because they are only available with the TD5 (The MOT only registers cars running on petrol to reduce large particle emission pollution)

[Davo]

So, no diesels there??? :o

[lebanon]

So, no diesels there??? :o

Unhappily yes, except for the military Land Rovers, Pumas of all models. The civilian run on V8 or 2.5 L. Mine came with a 2.5L but I exchanged it with a 4.2L

[Landy Smurf]

what are some of the main car brands( both 4x4 and car) there and what are some of the main cars(both 4x4 and car) eg. toyota hilux

[lebanon]

All car manufacturers are present, European, American, Korean and Chinese. I will try to take a picture of a parking so you could see the diversity. Yet Mercedes, BMW, Toyota, Honda are the most sought-after. On the 4x4 register you have the plethora of soft-roaders (Rav4, CRV, Terrano....) and the large ones mainly Mitsubishi Pajero, Toyota Prado,.... As for Land Rover they are very present on the road with the Range Rover, Discovery and Evoque.
Most of these rarely venture off-road, they are considered as posh cars.

[Davo]

No diesels - I never would have thought! What's a litre of petrol cost?

[lebanon]

No diesels - I never would have thought! What's a litre of petrol cost?

We have a floating price that is it moves with the international price of oil, actually it is 1.21 USD for the regular and 1.23 for the super.

[Davo]

Okay, that's about the same here, in the south, though we're paying $1.88 for unleaded up here in the north of Western Australia. The Oz dollar is worth about the same as the US at the moment.

[lebanon]

This one is still for sale if someone is interested[biggrin]

[Epic_Dragon]

thanks for sharing all these photos lebanon. Great to see what goes on elseware in the world with our much loved landies! and just seeing different scenery and mods. cannot believe diesel isnt allowed for civilians over there! I always thought it was the greener fuel type as better economy, and i think its a by product of something, cant remember. maybe thats gas? I even thought emissions were greener unless they are the un serviced smokey engines. It looks like none of your cars really rust over there. Even the old ones that look to have sat around for a long time dont seem to rust too much. Look forward to the next installment of photos :)

[Sitec]

Fantastic work you have uploaded here Lebanon, always good to see some unique and foreign Land Rovers. We've got a Land Rover meet coming up at Melrose in South Australia, so I (and hopefully some others) will try and get some pictures up for you. I did notice you ask earlier, so we'll get onto it! Keep up the great photography!!! Cheers!

[Davo]

Oh dear, there's some bad parking. I'll come over and teach as there is obviously a huge need for driving instructors. I'm cheap and I can say "left" and "right" in Arabic!

Found one of the rare 90 sitting next to Range Rover

This is an early model but the work that has been done is very nice.

Note the dripping axle, most probably a axle cap problem.

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/03/482.jpg

[lebanon]

An extensive work has been done to get this result. Bob-tailed and convertible, that could have brought many potential buyers if it was offered by the company. It reminds me of the 90 Xtreme

One of the very few 110, I still remember when the LR dealer brought a couple of these to test the market reaction, but the public preferred the Discoveries and Range Rovers.

Looks okay to me. In fact, I like most of the Landies and Rangies in this thread. The creativity is refreshing because I'm surrounded by Toyotas all with the same accessories and you'd start to think that that's all anyone could buy.

Funnily enough, I was thinking of making the exact same ladder as that one above.

[lebanon]

People have just started modifying Discos, they no longer consider them posh cars made to be used in urban areas.

There's some good looking Rangies there Lebanon.

Luv the Lada - I had one of those. Great little machine.

Indeed it is a great little machine, but I got the chance of driving one, we were off- roading at 2,500 m above sea level when I had to help a lady drive her Lada up on a steep hill she was afraid to tackle. Mate, this car has no power at this altitude, it took me seven to eight attempts to climb that hill, always loosing engine torque and momentum at the 3/4 of the climb.

Back to the 110 I climbed the hill first time.

[lebanon]

Found this gem while hiking with the family. Some work is being done to tidy-up the paintwork. Notice the bulkhead condition for such an old model.

Also interesting is the bar in front of the front grill.

[lebanon]

On another day hiking, the kids spotted this smurf. We were in a sky resorts area so it makes sense that you need this reliable friend for the winter activities, it carries the logo of a well known hotel.

I was delighted to find out that the municipality of the place where I live is still using a Land Rover, and not any Land Rover, a stage one!

It is in a sorry state but yet it sounds mechanically good except from the rear leaking differential, according to the driver it is still running on its original engine.

A 110 lookalike for sale, it is fitted with Range rover axles (notice the disc brake at the back)

Getting in should not be an easy task.

Found this bob tailed RRC on the docks of a Marina, I don't know if it is used for hauling boats, but from the bucket seats I doubt it.

This Series II is still being used for farming, note that it has the original paint that faded and was taken away from years of use.

The owner informed me that the only change he has done was to swap the rear differential to a series III type for its reliability.

I love the creative engineering you blokes over there show,and your pictures are always very good. I had no idea that Land Rover's were so popular over there. Keep it up mate awesome stuff:):D:p

That RRC hasn't been treated to the bobtailling surgical operation, nevertheless it is eye-catching.

thanks for sharing all these pics Lebanon - it gives us a view of part of the world we don't see much about here - your car rego department obviously isn't awkward to deal with as ours :)

Here you can modify the car the way you like it as long as it passes the MOT.

The MOT consists of verifying the gas emissions, brakes, electrical system, suspension, tires, fuel system..

A 110 cab with a strange flat bed. It is equipped with front and rear electric winches. The rear bumper seems custom made.

I am sorry for the bad quality of the pictures taken with my old phone (used for its offline GPS mapping)

I don't see the need for such a configuration.

[lebanon]

A nasty thing to start the new year with.

The accident was caused by ice formed on the road.

I am sure that the SIII will be repaired and put back on the road, they are sought-after by farmers living in the high altitude villages.

Beautiful and simple.

The RRC is still a very elegant car, what a design!

The owner is a real enthusiast, he has rebuilt his series with the help of his father some four years ago.

He told me that they found a bullet still stuck in the chassis, a proof of the military past of his car.

Note this tiny winch, never seen something similar before.

P.S It seems that they they didn't find the clear lens for the front end so they replaced with the available Red lenses they had. :)

Talked to the farmer, for him there is no better solution for a comfortable ride and descent payload than his modified Range Rover.

That little winch. I wonder if it was not vehicle recovery related but rather that it had a specific purpose.......?:confused:

The old two door Rangie has seem some work by the look of it....and still going. WOW!!:clap2:

Cheers for the posts mate.

[lebanon]

Did you notice that it is manually operated? It adds to the mystery. :D

Good pick up mate and no - I didn't notice the manual operation and to be honest I didn't even think about how it worked. I was one tracked on what it was for.

In a very good condition, I will ask if they can sell it since it belongs to a municipality. Would make a very good base for a restoration project.

I wasn't able to get in touch with the municipality board as the municipal elections were due this month, so they had no more the authority to take any financial decision.
I will contact the newly elected board in the coming weeks.

Will keep you informed.

This RRC was custom built to a prominent UAE person, it still has the UAE emblem on the seats.

It was built by Townley Cross Country Vehicles Ltd coachbuilder company.

Note the Jaguar's dashboard instruments!

In my search for a new project, I found this Stage one.

The owner bought it new from the dealer and used it his farm. It has still its original paint and nothing is missing.

The problem is that he is not willing to sell it even-though he has parked it in this spot for the last 15 years.
