Doing some homework on the Rover. The dash plate is my starting point. I’ve collected some manufacturing information from the web as I start to dig into the cars history. I have also submitted the Serial Number to the British Motor Museum to obtain a Heritage Certificate: http://www.heritage-motor-centre.co.uk/store/heritage-certificates-and-archive-services.html
This information below was collected from lrfaq.org. I will include a separate post with data collected from the various Land Rover books I have been collecting.
