According to its British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, 343-00469-A was built on November 6, 1966 and dispatched 8 days later to The Rover Company of North America, New York, USA, its original color noted as red. The 6-Cylinder NADA 'Rover was found on Cape Cod by its former owner, noted car guy Jim Taylor, in the late 1980s, long before he had become a habitual car collector. In his family for decades, it served as a family workhorse, being frequently used as a ski transit as well as something for young members to learn how to drive on!
In later years, after enduring many long winters, in 2007 he elected to replace the chassis with a new British Atlantic galvanized frame (a common thing to do), with this work being carried out by Cityside Garage of Holliston, Mass. and including new springs and exhaust. It was also repainted in its original color at some point. The current owner acquired the Land Rover directly from Mr. Taylor's collection. Viewed today, aside from its frame, the car appears largely original. Its exterior has a matted or patinated finish which seems to suit it well, while the interior for the most part is of period correct mottled grey fabric.
With recent expenditure including a recorded radiator and rebuilt water pump, this is an extremely rare USA variant of the 'best 4x4 by far', which would be at home in any race paddock or farm.
