The Jewel of Malta
ARIO Gauci is a furniture importer, based on the island of Malta. Every spare minute this dedicated family man has, is devoted to the other big love of his life, Land Rovers. Mario has owned Land Rovers since he was 16 years old. His first was a Series IIA and this is when he got bitten by the Land Rover bug. This was followed by a Discovery 1 but then the Maltese authorities decided that youngsters driving turbo'd vehicles should pay in excess of Euros 2500 for insurance! This forced Mario to go over to the dark side. He purchased a Toyota.
In 2006, once older and wiser and with a few more pennies in his pocket, Mario returned to the Land Rover fold with the purchase of a Defender 90, which he then spent years turning into his dream off-roader. It was around then that he also joined the Malta Land Rover Owners' Club. Due to its historical relationship with the United Kingdom, you will find more Land Rover per capita in
