This is our beautiful Land Rover named Puff. We are currently in the middle of a 4 month round trip from South Africa to Kenya.
She is a 1971 Series IIa Land Rover, 4 cylinder petrol, 2250cc (Right hand drive, 109 Inch wheel base),
which was completely rebuilt in 1999 on a new galvanised chassis. Since then, she has done two trans-Africa trips.

One from South Africa to the UK in 1999-2000, and then back down again in 2004-2005.
The engine is a Series III model with a genuine reading of only 84000km on the clock. 
The vehicle comes with South African registration, valid until 30-09-2006.
