A splendid event on an exceptionally warm day! The lineup featured notable vehicles, including the first Belgian Land Rover, L860059, and the only original Dutch factory-delivered Fire Service 1953 80”. Also present was a Tickford coachbuilt 80” and the Belgian team's Camel Trophy Discovery from the 1991 Tanzania-Burundi event—just to name a few. The variety was a treat for enthusiasts, truly something to relish!
Smet Works proudly stood at the sort-out, showcasing our Genuine, Aftermarket and Used parts under the canopy of our 1993 Range Rover Classic Ambulance!
The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as attendees explored the unique Land Rovers on display. L860059, with its Belgian charm, stood as a testament to the international allure of Land Rovers. The Dutch Fire Service 80”, a rare gem, added a touch of history, having served its duty decades ago and now proudly displayed.
The Camel Trophy Discovery from the 1991 Tanzania-Burundi event carried a legacy of adventure. Its presence connected the past with the present, a living relic from the golden age of off-road exploration.
As the attendees indulged in this fantastic event, Smet Works engaged with fellow enthusiasts, sharing stories, expertise, and our passion for these iconic vehicles.
It was not just an event; it was a celebration of Land Rover history, a congregation of enthusiasts, and a showcase of craftsmanship. The warm day was more than weather; it was a backdrop to a gathering that celebrated the enduring legacy of Land Rovers.
