Everything has arrived, and I've been driving around enjoying all the funny looks from people. I am very happy with the Rover. Any info you could please send my way about getting all those many layers of paint off would be helpful. Be assured that I'll be in touch for parts and advice on getting the Rover into Top Shape. Many thanks for all your work and patience during the sale. I have no qualms about being a reference for your outstanding company

So far in the hunt for the quality Land Rover Importer you seem to be the best and your website information is excellent

I just wanted to let you know that the trip up to Maine went flawlessly. Thanks again, and I look forward to buying parts from you in the future.
Good luck and God speed.

went wheelin last night, and have to tell ya that it was a blast. Only beginning to see what the truck can do. but, I did discover that if you try to climb a rock face that is too steep, the tires start to smoke.

I spent considerable time looking for a "classic" off-road vehicle, one where the dog sits on the seats and no one worries over mud in or out of the truck. Being more familiar with the American offerings, I researched and invested time looking for several pre '77 Bronco's and International Scouts. The bittersweet reality is these vehicles were utilized as intended and most had severe integrity problems. Rust had destroyed the body panels, florr boards, rocker panels, and quite frequently the body mounts themselves. My hopes of finding a second utility vehicle for tops off summer fun and year round-off-roading, seemed destined to start off with either a high initial investment, or several years in a garage. Then out of the blue I rediscovered the Series Land Rover.
Working in Baltimore and driving back from a customer visit, I passed an import yard containing approximately 30 camouflaged Land Rovers. Intriqued with these utilitarian vehicles, I called the phone number pasted on the window, which turned out to be Gabor at Skytop. He was happy to answer my questions and demonstrate the models and their characteristics. He took time to listen to what I was looking for and showed me 2 or 3 vehicles in different price ranges that would accommodate my needs. After I selected one, we put dealer plates and went out for a spin around Philadelphia, where Gabor provided a working and teaching demonstration of the Series Land Rover. I wanted a few days to think about the decision, Gabor applied no pressure, offered his cell phone number and said to give him a call with any questions.
Deciding to take the plunge I contacted Gabor to make final arrangements. Gabor was upfront about all aspects of the arrangement and a pleasure to deal with throughout the transaction. I let him know that I would be driving the vehicle home and it was prepped and waiting when I arrived. I have now owned "Monique", Skytop gives the vehicles names to differenrtiate them in the yard, for almost a year and it has been a blast. Skytop has given technical assistance and offered help find parts and aftermarket products. I know these guys enjoy what they do and their customer service is outstanding. If you are looking for a Series vehicle this is the only place to go.

Hi Gabor,
Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know my little lightweight is a gas and I love it.
I went to the DMV with it the other day and the Vehicle Inspector's mouth dropped open. all he could say was "Toooooo Coool!!! After a lengthy chat I drove off without the hassle of inspection. This is the same inspector that I use for checking out the old British Motorcycles, same reaction, same result.
Later, one of my customers came into the store with her Grandmother from Leeds, driving her Jag(had her personal car shipped over here to drive while she visited), insisted on a complete inspection of the vehicle saying it brought back memories of the old days working for RAF. She is an interesting lady and swears she wont drive anything that wasn't built "Correct." I quess we Colonials just can't get the steering wheel on the "right" side of the car. Her explanation for all the accidents we have over here.
In any case, I wanted you to know that my little truck is working out very well.
I would be happy to have you use me as a reference for future sales and look forward to workng with you on the diesel project.
Thanks Again, Best of luck with your new shop,
Take Care, Cheers!

Hey Gabor,
Just dropping you a note to let you know that the little Air Portable Lightweight is doing great!
I am very happy with the truck and use it daily to run from the house to the Paddocks to feed my horses, taking the occasional run through town to confuse the local's.
Since it's purchase I have done some detail work including a fire system, powder coating of the battery box and interior bits and had a friend who makes custom motorcycle seats, restore the interior. He is also working on a Bikini Top for the summer when we go to the beach.
I can't tell you how much I love this little vehicle. Suffice it to say that of all the automobiles and trucks that I own, it is my favorite. This includes my Corvette, my Dodge Ram 3500, Ford F 350 and 1999 Lightning.
In any case I am looking to get another and would like you to look into a Series 1, 2 or 3 for me.
Please let me know when you have something in mind and we'll talk.
Best wishes to you and the rest of the team and keep up the good work!
Take Care, We'll Talk Soon, CHEERS!

Dear Gabor,
I am writing this letter as a testimonial to the quality of your military Rovers. As you know, I bought "Claudette," as you named her, sight unseen and when she arrived she far exceeded my expectations. She is the best vintage British vehicle ever owned(not to mention I have 14 other British vehicles at the present time.)
Claudette also attracts a lot of attention being the only camouflaged military 109 in Berkshire County. She is also quite often the topic of conversation at our car club meetings.
I also wanted to extend my thanks to you and your establishment. You are a pleasure to deal with. When I call I am treated like we have known each other for years.
I want you to know that I am extremely happy and satisfied with my purchase. Please feel free to use my name as a reference.
Thanks again,
Ralph V. Blanchard, Jr. DDS
