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
Following the debut of the Sean Wotherspoon Porsche 2.7 RS earlier this year, the designer has once again teamed with Jimmy Howson’s Stuff by Spot for another heritage-meets-modern project, this time reimagining a 1958 Land Rover Series 2.
Originally built in England and delivered new to an engineer in Canada in 1959, the left-hand-drive 2.25 petrol spent more than four decades with its first owner before returning to the UK in 2002. Remarkably, the Land Rover was never road-registered and is believed to be one of only six left-hand-drive Series 2 models in the UK and even more notably, one of three that still sit on their original chassis.
Howson acquired the vehicle earlier this year, rebuilding it in Essex between March and July before shipping it to the States for its Monterey Car Week debut. While it retains as many original panels as possible, the truck has been upgraded with a fresh engine and gearbox rebuild, Wolf alloys, CarPlay integration and a rear seating setup with built-in speakers.
The project reflects Wotherspoon’s signature approach — blending rarity, provenance and creative reinterpretation. Where the Porsche 2.7 RS project emphasized color and detail, the Land Rover offers a canvas of originality layered with subtle modern touches, celebrating one of Britain’s most iconic utility vehicles through a fresh lens.
