Farm Truck. This is from the Bishop+Rook archives. Many years ago we had this 200Tdi Defender 110 HiCap. We drove it around hauling parts and supplies until someone made us a good offer on her. We were tight on space and decided to let her go. We regret that decision. The HighCap might be one of the most unique Defender configurations out there. #defender #landroverdefender #landrover #defender90 #defender110 #defender130 #bishoprook #lifeofadventure #4x4 #defenderrestoration #overland #boxycar #landroverseries #classiccar

We’re always doing little crafts around the workshop. Sometimes it’s experimenting with new ways to restore parts. Other times it’s stuff like this. The perfect Holiday Gift for the Defender fan in your family. Ready to ship. Probably. #defender #landroverdefender #landrover #defender90 #defender110 #defender130 #bishoprook #lifeofadventure #4x4 #defenderrestoration #overland #boxycar #landroverseries #classiccar

Sopris II is moving from Minnesota to Colorado to live kn a place overlooking Mount Sopris, of all places. Steve stopped this weekend by for a quick check up before heading out on the long road trip tomorrow. To say we are all extremely jealous is a massive understatement. We can’t wait to see photos of the journey. Naturally, we will have to drive down and visit. #defender #landroverdefender #landrover #defender90 #defender110 #defender130 #bishoprook #lifeofadventure #4x4 #defenderrestoration #overland #boxycar #landroverseries #classiccar

Baeza is getting a treatment of some new wheels and tyres. We’ve found that these Goodyear Duratrac 267/75R16’s work really well with a set of Steel or Wolf wheels. When you add a 30mm spacer it gives it just a little bit of aggressive stance. What do you think? #defender #landroverdefender #landrover #defender90 #defender110 #defender130 #bishoprook #lifeofadventure #4x4 #defenderrestoration #overland #boxycar #landroverseries #classiccar

Project Steele takes on the Stonehenge Run.

Project Steele completed the Stonehenge run last week. It's a test loop we make from the workshop, down the motorway, around the Stonehenge visitors centre, and down the back road that runs next to the historical site. The route allows us to test the builds on the motorway at 70+ MPH, as well as see how well they handle on a properly potholed dirt/gravel road. The views are pretty incredible, as well. Project Steele, a RHD, 200Tdi, complete nut-and-bolt restoration topped out at 84MPH on the GPS. More importantly, the Smiles Per Mile (SPM) were off the charts. #defender #landroverdefender #landrover #defender90 #defender110 #defender130 #bishoprook #lifeofadventure #4x4 #defenderrestoration #overland #boxycar #landroverseries #classiccar #stonehenge

This is Delilah, a 1955 Land Rover Series I 2.0 Petrol 86-inch English Barn Find. This is the type of Land Rover we all dream of having in our driveway. Just the right amount of patina and character where you won't be afraid to drive it, but enough to remind you of the years of history in the English countryside. While we wish we could keep them all, we will happily drive this one around until the right owner comes along to bring this one home with them. Details are listed on the bishoprook.com website, but feel free to reach out via text/phone (612-424-1642) or email (info@bishoprook.com). https://www.bishoprook.com/listings/delilah/ We can offer assistance with importing and titling this 67 year old classic, but can also continue the preservation and/or restoration as you wish.
The Bishop+Rook UK team recently uncovered this very unique 1955 Land Rover Series I in a nearby barn. Their comments after taking it out for a drive were simple:<br /><br />"I've never had more fun driving a car in my life."<br /><br />https://www.bishoprook.com/listings/delilah/
Details available on bishoprook.com
In this final episode of Project Toto, we do our final mechanical testing and checking before heading out for one last test drive with our 1987 Land Rover One Ten (Pre-Defender).<br /><br />Over the past year, we have been sympathetically restoring this one-owner Land Rover back to her original Safari-Spec condition. This particular vehicle was owned by a former member of the World Bank, working in Nigeria in the late 80'sand early 90's. <br /><br />Having gone through our Preservation Series process, we are confident that this Land Rover is ready for yet another 30 years of amazing adventures. <br /><br />Once finished with our restoration work, we took Toto to a nearby property, Tedworth House, where we were able to shoot some still photos and fly our drone for a bit.<br /><br />Toto will be in Minnesota late-fall of 2022 and will go through her final detail before being put up for sale/adoption. <br /><br />View the details on the Bishop+Rook website:<br /><br />https://www.bishoprook.com/portfolio/toto/
Project Toto is finally complete and heading on a long Atlantic Ocean voyage from England to America where she will find her next life of adventure.<br /><br />We fell in love with the originality of this Land Rover One Ten the second we saw it earlier this year.<br /><br />We decided to restore it back to the condition she was in whilst exploring the far reaches of West Africa nearly 30 years ago with her original caretakers.<br /><br />We've documented our preservation process on our website and YouTube channel for those interested in the process. We have one final episode launching later this week, but this should serve as an inspiring sneak preview of the final results of this project.<br /><br />This is a unique and rare one-owner Left Hand Drive Land Rover One Ten 2.5L Petrol in Original Ivory White. Over the past year, we have been working to preserve the originality of the vehicle while fixing the elements that had been worn or neglected over the years. The result is an incredibly smooth-running and unique time capsule that any collector would love to drive through the countryside or even as a daily driver.<br /><br />This Land Rover will be ready for sale/adoption in the next week when she arrives in our Minnesota workshop, and we complete the final import paperwork.<br /><br />Reach out with inquiries, as we would love to see this project go to a new loving and caring home.<br /><br />https://www.bishoprook.com/portfolio/toto/
