Santana Landrovers
This Santana Land Rover 109" 6 cylinder belongs to Jose Trisotti. The Santana 6-cylinder engine is not the usual 2.6L Solihull Rover but a Spanish version of the rugged four cylinder 2.25L motor stretched by one and half times to give two extra cylinders and a capacity of 3429cc.

Film buffs might like to watch Monsignor Qixote (1985), starring Alec Guinness and based on Graham Greene's modern adaption of Don Quixote: An aged priest travels through Spain in his ricketty car, Rosinante, having Quixotic adventures. At one point the Gardia (police) drive up in a Santana Land Rover.
