Chassis # 35803619B
Year: 1973
Model: Range Rover
This Range Rover was purchased by WCB in
December 1981; having only completed some 21,000 miles (or so we were lead to believe!), and was driven by us until it's sale in late 1994... to buy a new Discovery. Had we known then, what we know now, we would of kept the Range Rover! A far better car, no question. At present this Range Rover has over 600,000 miles on it!
Summer 2005: This car was recently sold on Craigslist! We tried to buy it
back... but lost out.

Left: Some months after buying the Range Rover a young lady in a Plymouth wagon pulled out and drilled the left-front, OUCH! Parts were not available in North America in those days so we called UNIPART in the UK and had them air freighted in.
Unlike the Range Rovers imported by LRNA from 1987 onwards, the old Range Rovers were built like Land Rovers, meaning; everything was bolted together and not welded. Here a new inner fender has been fitted.

Left: Since the new pieces didn't match the car (paint), we stripped the car of lights, handles, mirrors, etc., and sanded/painted the whole car. Looks sharp now. |
