Default Hi I'm Ed in Central Switzerland

Hi Everyone,

I'm Ed and I live in Beromünster, Switzerland. I have just bought a '71 S2A 5 door 109 (ex-fire truck) with 12,000 original kilometers on the clock. I'm not new to Rovers, over the last 25 years I have had (in chronological order)
1973 S3 88
87 Range Rover
90 Range Rover
96 Range Rover
2005 Disco 3

The burning issue for me is a seat modification for my new 2A. I'm considerably older than I used to be when I had my '73 88 and my legs don't bend as well as they used to, so driving it is not only uncomfortable but kind of dangerous. I have seen this video (
) but I can't find something similar for a 2A. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Additionally, I welcome introductions to any central European Landy enthusiasts. I would welcome the possibility of getting together to do some light off-roading or maybe sitting around a campfire drinking a beer or two

Best regards,
Ed

Welcome to the Forum, Ed. That is one fine looking S2A. Too bad, I am on the other side of the world from you, I would love to see that in person.

Gruezi! Nice rover! I'd love to swing by and see the progress sometime.
