On Cookies and Covid.

No... Cookies have nothing to do with the Covid Pandemic.

Covid Update: We are NOT allowing visitors / customers on the premises. Only designated couriers are allowed entry under strict "physical distancing" interactions for the pick-up and/or delivery of parcels.

Cookies Update: Have you noticed lately that just about every website that you migrate to, you are plagued with a pop-up that blocks what you are attempting to read. The offending pop-up typically says something like "By continuing to use this website, you must agree to our use of cookies to give you the best shopping experience." And typically, unless you agree, the pop-up blocks the content that you are trying to read.

Well, here's what we do with cookies... we eat them.

We don't use cookies, partly because this website is presently written using really old web authoring technology that takes hours to work with just to modify a few pages; but mostly because we find it irritating on other websites. And, we won't track what you are looking at, or which page gets the most "hits". Maybe we're old-fashioned... if you like what you see, you'll mention it to us. We don't need a weekly analytic web report, or a team of gurus telling us what sells, what doesn't sell, and how to "optimize" our web presence. Yes, maybe in the near future, we will have no choice but to surrender to the modern website requirements of tracking usage, throwing cookies on your computer or device, and reading boring reports as to what clients are looking at.

But, in the meantime... we're just going to eat cookies, when we have them here in the office.

See What Other's are up to in their Restoration Adventures!

Turning a rough looking old wreck found in a field into a head-turning Land Rover dream machine takes a lot of work and ingenuity. Barry and Karen did just that, and found themselves as the center of attention and prize winners.

An Artistic Dedication to 3 Brothers

and one of their Classic finds

A few years ago, one of the 3 Brothers decided to try his hand at some "artistic" work, combining his welding skills with his recent foray into blacksmithing. Rich never imagined that it would turn into an immediate success. It did, and his time was suddenly in demand by galleries thoughout Canada.

Artistic sculptures made of stainless steel, antique square nails, copper wire, stone, and glass were flying off the shelves faster than his torch could heat up the next piece of metal.

But Rich did take some time to create a special piece. As an anniversary gift, Peter's wife commissioned Rich to produce a sculpture commemorating one of the the 3 Brother's early adventures; the bringing home of a Classic 1956 Land Rover Series 1 107" Station Wagon.

That's Peter behind the wheel.

Over the next month or so, our Parts Department is being moved to a larger section of our building. So if it seems we're busy, or a little short on the phone, it's because we're up to our eyeballs in moving 60,000 parts! No one likes moving...
	February, 2021

	Covid Update!
Our Parts Department and the Restoration Shop are both Open for Business. Please note that we are struggling with significant delays in importing parts from the UK.

	Building Reno Updates!
Busy??? Darn right we are! If we missed your email or phone call, please accept our humblest apologies. Even the fact that our web site updates go un-touched for 6 months, is simply because we are busy with the parts business, and busy carrying out renovations on the old building that we moved into last year.

	They're Back!
Aluminum, or (Aluminium depending where you are when reading this), Front Outer Wing panels are back! ABS plastic panels are perfect for the off-road adventures. They take a beating, don't corrode, and when properly installed, are pretty darn hard to tell from the original aluminum panels. But, that word "original" comes up once and a while, and a lot of us like sticking with the original aluminum panels... and now we can. Click here for Originality.

So we've been told that we don't get out enough; that we might be a little on the "Anti-Social" side of the crowd; loners even... Well, after significant coaxing from many customers, two out of three brothers headed out to the OVLR Birthday Bash. And a "bash" it was! We drove our '74 Series 3, (we call her "Olive"), and Peter's Disco 2 for support and accommodations; more on this story shortly!

	September, 2013

	And Another British Car Day Success!
An amazing turn-out of Land Rovers and Land Rover enthusiasts made the one-day event another great day to remember. Special thanks goes out to Ian and Dylan from Back Street Heroes, (Rouge Rovers), Clive from Up-Top Tents, and the many customers that brought their toys... or trucks to the show. Land Rover Alley had the greatest turn-out that we've seen in years. And we can't wait for the next British Car Day. Also many thanks to the Toronto Triumph Club for hosting the largest one day, all British Car event.

	Dreaming Bikes at the Mid-Ohio Vintage Motor Cycle Show.
Dave and Rich have this thing for old vintage motor cycles. So, every year we head down to the Mid-Ohio AMA Vintage Motorcycle show, races and swap meet. Peter is the only one that doesn't own any 2-wheeled modes of transportation beyond a 10-speed bike. But, the camping is great! After a few days of Vintage Motorcycle races and walking for miles through the swap meet, you get to a point where having an old classic bike just to drive around would make sense. Check out the photos here...
