Summary

  • Wotherspoon x Stuff by Spot reveal rare 1958 Land Rover Series 2 at Monterey
  • Original LHD chassis restored with modern upgrades and fresh drivetrain
  • Follows their Porsche 2.7 RS project, continuing heritage-inspired collaborations

After the initial release of the Sean Wotherspoon Porsche 2.7 RS earlier in the year, the designer has collaborated with Jimmy Howson’s Stuff by Spot once more for another fusion of heritage and modernity. This time, they are reinventing a 1958 Land Rover Series 2.

Back in 1959, a pristine, right-steer 2.25 gasoline Land Rover was shipped from England to Canada, where it spent over four decades with its first owner. After returning to its homeland in 2002, this vehicle has remained unregistered for road use. What makes this Landy special is that it’s believed to be one of just six left-hand-drive Series 2 models found in the UK, and among a select few still on their original chassis. As a devoted fan, I find the tale of this time-honored vehicle truly captivating!

This year, Howson obtained the vehicle and spent several months (March to July) rebuilding it in Essex. After the refurbishment, the vehicle was shipped across the Atlantic for its premiere during Monterey Car Week in the United States. The truck strives to preserve as many original body parts as feasible, but it has also been fitted with enhanced features such as a new engine and transmission, Wolf alloy wheels, CarPlay integration, and customized rear seating complete with built-in speakers.

The project showcases Wotherspoon’s unique style, which combines scarcity, history, and innovative redesign. While the Porsche 2.7 RS project highlights color and detail, the Land Rover presents an original base with delicate contemporary enhancements, paying tribute to one of Great Britain’s most famous utility vehicles by offering a fresh perspective.
