"...what's the bit about Rovers and Pirates???"

I picked up my Chambers English Dictionary, and the primary definitions for 'Rover' are: n. a pirate (archaic); a robber (obs)

Seems the Toyota people know their dictionary definitions!

Considering that the first Land Rovers were based on the Willy's Jeep, and even 'pirated' the chassis directly from the Jeep for the first few made, the Land 'Rover' is accurately named, though I'm sure this is not the sense of 'Rover' that the people at Solihull had in mind

nice pics ...thats the one you found right?

 

[owensexport]

No, that is a different vehicle in the Tokyo Area.
I think Toyota bagged it somewhere and brought it to my friend for restoration.
He restored the dark green BJ that has photos in post #24.

Hey Steve do the brake/clutch pedals go to frame mounted master cylinders on these BJ's?

 

[owensexport]

Yes, I am pretty sure they do. Just like an old Heep.
I think I have a photo of the engine compartment somewhere, I will look
for it when I get time.
