Thread: Early Rangie

wow that is early, I didnt think that many came in before 74?? Im guessing it has the painted rear panel and metal screw fuel filler cap. best of luck with it. They are a great classic vehicle regardless of brand.

I thought the first ones in Aus were 74 (body number 22 IIRC). could be a private import. some pics would be great.

PICS Please

sorry for a bit off topic, but seems there were some early ones floating about according to this: Range Rover Australia - Range Rover Classic

Yepthere were quite a few suffix a rangies that came here. Dont see too many on the road these days! I have owned a 72 myself! There were a few 71's to come here but 72's were more common. The suffix a had the painted rear panel and screw filler cap, but the 72 I had had vinyl pillar panel and flip petrol cap, with the horrible, I think it was called "box ambla" seat trim. That I think went out in 73/4' The very first cars had a LSD centre diff only then a LSD with a difflock. Rubber floor mats and no carpet! The 72 I had, had no aircon or power steer, and the original glovebox! I have some new sliding window channels in the shed still!
