New Stage 1 owner - Lebanon

Post by nehme »

Hello,

This is my first Land Rover and it happened to be a Stage 1 by pure chance. I saw it at a car dealer and immediately thought I had to have it.

Year: 1979 - v8

Besides the army, I haven't seen any other Stage 1 in Lebanon.

The previous owners modified it a bit, adding the DEFENDER labels to make it look like a new defender.

My modifications so far: power steering.

I will be planning to do trips in the area driving from Lebanon, through Syria, Jordan and maybe reaching the Gulf. Anyone interested keep me posted, we could meet or plan an event.

Cheers,
Nehme

Very nice car Nehme! Looks like you have had some great trips in it already!!!

So you did a power steering install on it eh? Care to share some details about the modification?

Hello Nehme,

Greetings from Oz - welcome aboard. What is that white stuff on the ground in your pictures? LOL

Stirling, I didn't do the power steering conversion myself, but i'll post the details later.

@Chaz: the white stuff is the Lebanese version of sand :)
There's some great off-roading here that I'm slowly discovering.
