Hermit on the Hill

 

My brother, Wouter, built up this 1959 Land Rover a long time ago (OK, only a few bits of it still date from 1959 but that’s what the registration papers say).  It’s a great help during harvest and, with trailer attached, can transport about a ton-and-a-half of grapes per trip (half-a-ton inside the Landie, a ton on a trailer).  It’s not the fastest thing on four wheels but it’s reliable and takes no nonsense going up and down the vineyard to pick up grapes (so the hand-brake doesn’t work but then you always have low-range reverse to make up for that).
