Santana Motor S.A. was a Spanish car manufacturer based in Linares, Spain. The company originally manufactured agricultural equipment but decided to expand beyond its original products line and entered into talks with the Rover car company in 1956 in an attempt to get a licensing agreement to build Land Rover Series models in their factory. An agreement was reached in 1956 and production began in 1958 it was licensed to build Land Rover models. (Wikipedia)
The guys at Lucra Cars replaced the original Land Rover Santana badge on my truck with a custom badge that — incorrectly — identifies my truck as a Defender model. Not a big deal but I’ve been looking for an original badge and found one with the help of Paul Misencik at Autology Motors. That this matters to me (even a little) suggests I’m becoming a Land Rover guy.
No big deal. Mr. Wolf will make it work. Would sure love to know the history of my truck but that’s probably lost in time. I’ll eventually plug the VIN into one of the online db’s and see what pops up.
Uh-oh. Looks like the mounting holes are in different places on the two badges….
