The marketing arm was absorbed into Ford PAG Australia. Then when Tata purchased Jaguar and Land Rover off Ford, it was superseded by Jaguar Land Rover Limited. In Australia we have Land Rover Australia and Jaguar Australia (wholly owned divisions of JLR Ltd) for marketing and logistics of both marques in Australia, Oceania and SE Asia, but no assembly.

    Initially it was just Rover cars, then Graham helped unpacked the first CKD Series 1. It seems they had no idea what had been sent to them. Land Rover quickly outsold Rover cars, and both streams had different clientele.

    They had to move out of Australia St when that was turned over to VW assembly. The building is still there, currently being converted to apartments.

    New Agency m Perth.



    Well known in motoring circles through

    out this State, Messrs. G. R. Faulls and

    E. A. George are now established under

    Fix this textthe company name of Faulls. Limited.



    representing the 1933 Rover cars, the first

    sample shipment of which has just arrived

    and the new chassis are now on show on

    premises at the corner of Hay and Milli

    gan streets, Perth. .

    My father had a Rover 75 for many years,it had that free wheeling device.
    He also had a few wrecks,same model and others.One had a large light in the center of the grill.Maybe a 90?

    Eventually replaced the 75 with a RRC.

    Faulls lent me one of those while my Land Rover was being prepared. Dangerous bloody things!

    The one wih the centre light was called Cyclops" for obvious reasons. !951 P4
