Land Rover Event

As some of you know we have a bit of an obsession with vintage Land Rovers.

So it’s probably no surprise how thrilled we are to announce our partnership with @vineyardseries to host a new Land Rover event.

This holiday-themed event will take place just outside of our new studio in Salisbury, Connecticut on Saturday, December 7th, from 9 AM to Noon. The event will feature a Cars and Coffee-style gathering with special guests and conclude with a scenic drive. We are privileged to integrate this event into the ever-popular Merry & Bright Festival, which takes place annually in Salisbury. In addition to a showcase of classic Land Rovers, there will be plenty of other exciting (and festive) things to explore around town. Be sure to register your classic Land Rover.

Registration is now live via the link in @vineyardseries bio and is $25 per vehicle.

Stay tuned as we announce a more detailed schedule.

We hope to see you there!
