1972 Darien Gap

[Richard A Thackeray]

The expedition is retold in the present issue of 'Classic Land Rover' magazine (August edition)

Still the best Range Rover, to me

My order
1st; the 'classic' (as it became known)

2nd; L322 (series 3) - I'd like a TDV8, but the very rare manual

3rd; P38 (series 2) - a lot of new technology, sadly not tested enough before release

4th; L405 - a very distant 4th!! (the present shape) I admire the weight-savings/technology, but it could be anything... Lincoln, Lexus.etc....

Chassis #001 went to Auction, back in 2014 (I think) & reached a fair price

I used to see it every so often, before it was sold, when I called in here; https://www.landrovercentre.com/product/yvb151h/

 

[I like Skol]

Some great vehicles for sale/sold at the Huddersfield dealer.

Some of the engineering design of the later versions is very advanced. Victoria Beckham played a key role in the design process.
