Chassis # 24444295H
Year: 1971
Model: 88" Deluxe Hardtop 

Ritch Julian purchased this Land Rover in 1998 in southern California. It was driven daily until he purchased a new Discovery II in the summer of 2000. The old Land Rover was a fairly decent shape considering its age, but it wasn't great either. The big problem was the butchered/home-made wiring and gauge package fitted by the previous owner. The body was battered, hence all new fenders and doors will be replaced during the restoration.
