Title: Tracing My Land Rovers History
Post by: Jim-Willy on May 11, 2006, 02:49:23

Hi, i want to know what engine it had originally and what colour it was, colour code would be nice or at least the colours actual name.  Any other info would interest Me aswell such as whether it was a hard top or rag top.  It sticks in my mind you can write to LandRover buti can't find the address.

Any ideas?

Phone up the National Motor Heritage Centre in Gaydon, with your vehicle's chassis number.  They should be able to tell you everything that Land Rover recorded when your vehicle was built, including where it went to after it had been constructed.

Do you have the number?  I tried alternative means but it hasn't worked out.
