YVB 151H has undergone a total "nut and bolt" restoration, (with full photographic records), and with the emphasis on "originality" rather than replacement of components. It still sports the original chassis, body shell, engine, gearbox, transfer box and axles - as well as the original "Alluminium" bonnet. Not many 1970 Range Rovers can boast that ! It is now in concours condition.
The first 25 Range Rovers built were often referred to as "VELAR's", this is thought to be because this was the name put on the early vehicles whenever they went anywhere in public, prior to the official launch of the Range Rover.
The first 5 Range Rovers built, had matching components, i.e.. engine, gearbox, axles and chassis on this vehicle all have number 35500001.
This particular vehicle is much photographed, in particular Nick Dimbleby has a large archive of photographs of "151" and because of this it is often popping up in Range Rover publications.
