Sarek Autowerke of Richmond, VA. was a proud sponsor of the Rover Owners Association of Virginia Mid-Atlantic Rally which was just held in Buckingham County, Virginia. The rally took place at the Little George Rod and Gun Club in Aronia, VA. The original Land Rover Owners Club was founded in 1954 by The Rover Company in the United Kingdom.

We would be keeping the original 2.25L four-cylinder engine, original transmission, axles, and keep it leaf sprung. Now to bring all that into modern tim ... read more
