Our 1963 S2A SWB 2.25 Petrol "Red"

Hello there. New to the forum...have introduced myself so
thought I would introduce our vehicle, "Red". I will add rebuild
pics if anyone is interested but for now here are a few pics. We
use it for greenlaning, often the daily driver and so far have
done return trips from England to Algeria in 2009, Morocco in
2010 and a slightly failed attempt to Morocco this year.
Bought it like this:

And now, to the horror of many, looks like this:

Have had lots of fun both using it as a work horse, green
laning, getting stuck, the overland trips and daily driving:

I don't think you'll find anyone here who will be in horror, it
looks awesome, and all the gear actually gets used. Top marks in
my book!

any chance?

Go on then, I'll mention the gay wheels.
Apart from that, it's cool.
Good to have you here. Hope it gets sorted PDQ - it won't be for
want of trying.

Nout gay about those wheels :-p
Surprised the wrong wings/grill/lights/tyre size/bits bolted
on/hacked off/falling off has not been mentioned!
Ah...the lesser forums...I will avoid mentioning the lesser,
boingier vehicles I have then!
Cheers Phil :-)
