Cool Oldie RR - Land Rovers Only

I got this image when a guy in Denmark claimed to be interested in my 1995 RRC. I saved it because I thought it was an interesting vehicle.

Dig that grill!!!
I wonder if one could be make like it. That is so cool.

It looks like all he did was either chrome or paint the standard grill on a pre 1986 Range Rover. The bezels around the headlights are just painted body color. Unlike the later style one pieced grill, the older style was actually three pieces, the grill and two headlight bezels.

I seriously doubt that it is a Camel Trophy truck. The Rostyle wheels were standard for most of the 70's on the Range Rover. Also, the Camel Trophy Rostyles did not have two tone wheels like this truck. They also didn't have the covers concealing the bonnet hinges like this truck. I think it might be a 70's truck is the Range Rover raised letters on the bonnet.

I dig that one, but they put the steering wheel on the wrong side.

p76rangie · 01-07-2007, 12:41 AM

Relatively easy to change the steering wheel side.

Is the dash reversable, or would I have to hunt down a LHD?

p76rangie · 01-07-2007, 12:58 PM

You would have to make a few holes, but the shape of the top of the dash looks reversable. The centre would stay the same. The underneath bits would have to be replaced.
