Jeffrey AronsonDear Rovers North,
I really like the opening pages of your Rovers Magazine and thought this would be a good share.
I recently helped my daughter move to London for grad school and spotted this old Land Rover sitting in a driveway in the Shoreditch neighborhood of London. The boxes riveted to the front fenders [wings] were really interesting to me; I hadn’t seen those before. I’m in the process of restoring my 1996 Defender 90, and always seem to be ordering from Rovers North, (Peter [Golovich] has always been extremely helpful in figuring things out). Thanks for all the great availability of parts and guidance.

[The Lightweight looks like a Grateful Dead tribute! Peter really enjoys helping other enthusiasts work on their Rovers -ed.]
[The boxes on top of the Lightweight FFR (Fitted For Radio) wings were used as cable storage. You can see the large hole on the wing top where the antenna was likely located -ed.]
Dear Rovers North,
I’m relatively new to the Land Rover community. I attended the 20th Anniversary British Car Show in Perrysburg, Ohio this summer and for the first time ever there was a Land Rover Defender class. Here are pics (please excuse the Ineos; he snuck in there). The green D90 NAS won “Excellence in Show;” also I believe the white 110 is a unique 1997 NAS.
Thanks for being a great source for knowledge and parts here in the states.

[Welcome to the Land Rover community, and thanks for the compliments. You join many other Land Rover enthusiasts in northwest Ohio. The white Defender 110 is LRNA #2 of 500 officially imported into the US in 1993. It was restored by Wolf Classics, Kingfield, ME -ed.]
Dear Rovers North,
We recently spent some time in Rotterdam during a European cruise and found it to be a Land Rover spotters paradise; for example, this delightful little Series truck we saw on the street.
We also enjoyed seeing this adventure-ready Defender parked outside the former home of Holland America Line, now a cute little hotel. An adventure-ready Land Rover amidst one of Europe’s busiest ports had my mind racing at the adventures that have launched from here over the years.

Dear Rovers North,
My sister-in-law was vacationing on Bora Bora and saw this uniquely parked Series. Hate to see the parking bill!

Dear Rovers North,
I was getting the oil changed on my awesome 2005 LR3 (238k miles). I love my Rover; people often think it’s new or maybe 2–3 years old. Thanks for all you do to keep Rovers cool!

Dear Rovers North,
It was great to meet some of the Rovers North team at the Maine Winter Romp. Unfortunately, I broke the rear end last month on some trails at the 11th Annual, causing some carnage to the housing, but I’ve got new gears arriving and a new rear cover welded on so hopefully it all comes together quickly enough to be ready for MAR, or at least the next Maine Winter Romp. I also have a solid amount of rust to take care of unfortunately, but that is the reality.
I noticed I hadn’t received the Spring and Summer 2025 issues of Rovers Magazine. I absolutely love them. Rovers North publishes the only great Land Rover magazine out there. I was wondering if you could by any chance send me the two editions I’ve missed? I bought some stuff from Rovers North recently so hopefully I’m back on the mailing list.
PS- I’m curious – did you guys do an article about the 2025 Winter Romp?

[We hope the rear differential repairs went smoothly. We’re glad we could send you back copies. Check the publisher’s information on Page 2 of any issue to learn more about receiving Rovers Magazine every quarter. 2026 is an anniversary year for the Maine Winter Romp, so stay tuned! -ed.]
