Chassis no. 24419706B. Red over brown leatherette. 2286/77hp, 4-speed, adventure equipped with internal folding cots, etc.

Evaluation: Long owned by adventure traveler Alan Hogenauer, believed to have been driven from Perth, Australia to Edinburgh, Scotland on his 1965 honeymoon, then stored and as-used. Unrestored. Dull, scratched paint, worn duct tape patched seats, rusty chassis. Generally sound body with rust in the left door hinge post. Needs everything, or nothing.

Bottom Line: The new Mrs. Hogenauer must have been a sturdy and understanding soul to undertake this adventure as well as putting up with her husband’s peripatetic obsession that drove him to visit 311 countries and possessions, among other destinations. The price of this Land Rover is more about the story than the vehicle.
