Sport Today

I am looking for info. on series II/III Land Rovers.  When I was in Tarifa, I also
saw a bunch of Santanas, which are (I guess) built in Spain under license.
Would I be better off finding one abroad and importing it into US?

Anyhow, the main concern is its use for windsurfing.  I wonder if there is a way to
store a couple of boards (9'6" max) and 2pc masts INSIDE between the seats.
I quess I need it to be a 109" SW, not a 3-door (?).  Right now ALL of my stuff fits into
a FS Bronco, but I have only 1 pass. seat left.
And it is still a Ford.

I am guessing that a bunch of you in the UK, NZ, Australia and Spain own LR SeriesII/III.
What is your experience?  
Restoring cars is my 3rd passion after windsurfing, so I would not mind starting from
a solid junker. Especially if it needs mainly mechanicals.  
What do you think I can get a 109" SW for ? A Doormobile? A LWB Defender?

Thanks a lot.

 Their is room in a LWB for 12 people on seats, putting two
boards one on top of the other should leave plenty of room.
The middle seats can be folded forward, or with a spanner
even removed completely. Their are plenty of options for
removing cushions.
 This is a bit on obsure point, but there is Army Landrover
that was used as a Field Ambulance that had a normal LWB
chassis but widened on top. I've seen one of these used as
a windsurfing vehichle and was pretty cool.

 Getting spare parts in the USA in might be difficult.
One idea - Rover are now owned by BMW (Sob :-( ) so if you
contact your nearest BMW dealership they may be able to get
 you Brochures and stuff.
 They are very reliable and Corrosion resistant (most parts
are ) so if there is a specialist eurocar dealer he may
well know of the whereabouts of some 2nd hand models.
 maybe the Canadian army use them ?

 In todays local paper their is a Landrover series III,  1977,
SWB, new engine 1400(pounds) = $2500.
 Also,  LWB pickup V8, 1982, good condition 1875. = $3000.

 Brand new LWB V8 = 18,665 = $30,000(dollars)

    Out in the midday sun.

Our local paper advertised tonight a 1956 Series II  $1995,  think the
exchange rate is about 60c US to the Kiwi Dollar.

Caught my eye because this sucker is older than i am, suppose it is a
runner.
