DIFFERENT HUE MARKS
EACH OASIS
The color of the mud buildings varies from oasis to oasis. Adrar is brilliant red-orange, In Salah burnt ocher, El Goléa sandy colored, and Timimoun a vivid, deep red.
A two-day soaker would literally melt every
settlement in the Sahara. Doctors told us that their busiest time occurs during a torrential rain-fall, when houses collapse on the inhabitants.

LAND-ROVER CHARGES
EIGHT- FOOT DUNES
We never knew when we were going to get stuck. George’s policy was to charge the sand heap lying over the piste at full speed, with left hand poised to change to four-wheel drive without losing momentum. It worked very well.
We zoomed over drifts sometimes eight feet
high and usually got through.
If we didn’t, we brought out shovels and sand
tracks and got to work.

David’s 1954 Series 1 remains outwardly much as we found it, carrying the surface and details of its first 72 years.

We fitted a 4.6 litre V8, five speed gearbox, longer ratio axles and custom transfer box together with disc brakes and power steering.

Every intervention was 3D scanned and recorded, so that 40 years from now another custodian can understand what was changed, why it was changed and how it may be reversed to its original spec.

Two homes.
One continuous idea.

Lior commissioned them as a pair, built together to carry the same sense of familiarity from one home to the other.

This is the first.
Berlin, Germany.

A STUDY ON CONTINUITY

David’s remarkably original 1954 Series 1 spent the last thirty years gathering dust.

72 years after it was built, it is now ready to be used and enjoyed again.

Fourteen years of work and the highest compliment is when these cars come back worn in after summer.
That’s the real reward, that’s when I feel the most proud of what we’re doing here.

Built years ago, back briefly from Ibiza for service. Proof that time can be kind when the foundation is right.
Atelier service is care.

“YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN NOW”

The es**rt turned around and made a dusty
trail back toward Colomb Béchar. The truck drivers got out and crept under their vehicles to eat and sleep in the shade. Then we drove away, with all the Sahara spread out before us under a cloudless sky.
Free! We felt like two kids playing hooky from school. Mzuri purred gently, and I think she felt liberated, too.
