Rev up for Land Rover restoration project
A
A LAND ROVER jeep is to be restored by the Killarney Valley Classic & Vintage Club as its 2018 charity project.
The jeep has been off the road for the last number of years and has only 82,000 miles on the clock! It was donated by Con Ahern from Cork. Club chairman Tom Leslie said: "We are delighted that our next restoration project has begun and would like to thank Con Ahern for travelling to Killarney to hand over the keys.
“The club is really looking forward to restoring same and we would be delighted if anyone who would like to get involved and help out with this charity project to get in touch. Any help, big or small will be greatly appreciated.
"It will be an enjoyable social event over the coming months for our club members and will be an exciting project from start to finish. After the clubs very successful MF135 tractor restoration project which we recently completed, we are delighted to be provided with the use of a shed again by Kerry Mental Health Association and the use of the facilities at Killarney Men’s Shed."
The club plans on meeting every Thursday night at Killarney Men’s Shed from 7pm-9pm and Tom can be contacted on 087-2383809 for any further information.
