1970 Range Rover - Chassis #001
This important car was built between 24th November and 17th December 1969 before being registered on 2nd January 1970, nearly six months before the official launch date of the Range Rover.
The vehicle retains all its "matching numbers" components; chassis, engine, gearbox, and axles, as well as the original aluminium bonnet, and the original body shell. In 1997 the DVLA reissued #001 with its original registration number 'YVB 151H'.
Having enjoyed a ground up, six year restoration executed to an exceptional and unwavering standard, don’t miss your chance to own a hugely significant motorcar and a piece of motoring history.

Sympathetically detailed to match the livery and colours which it sported in period, careful attention and consideration has been given, particularly to the interior to ensure the car has not been over-restored.
