| Here we are with another Velar and very proud we are too, having previously sold 3 She was completed on 23rd March 1970 and delivered to the Land Rover Engineering Department of the Rover Car Company the very next day She was used for development of the model and brake testing together with high mileage testing in order that Land Rover could address any potential reliability problems before their customers had to - she did over 100.000 miles in the first year with two driver teams working two shifts and driving her on a specific route to ensure the mileage reflected general usage The factory retained her for development until June 1974 when she was sold for the sum of £1.000 - the original sales invoice is retained within the history folder, together with an original sales brochure, heritage certificate and with a road test by Autocar from November 1970 Like our other Velars, this example had a body off restoration, this time in the late 1990's - indeed the chassis was galvanized to ensure longevity for this valuable and special vehicle We bought her in late 2010 and decided to refit the original axles with which she came When we got to it we decided to remove the engine and change all seals within the engine and gearbox too and whilst we did these mechanical works we stripped the paintwork and repainted her in the original Davos White, painting the wheels Sahara Dust Her interior retains original PVC injection moulded seats and most unusually door cards made in the same method too We had some lambswool seat covers made to protect the original PVC seats, replacements for which are almost unavailable Used regularly we have recently been requested to provide her for use at various events - the Classic Driver used her for a short video piece - please click on the link below to see the film http://www.graemehunt.com/videos Land Rover used her for the International Press Launch of the latest new model Range Rover where she was on display and also used for the collection of various VIP's Finally she was included in the Queens Diamond Jubilee Tour of Elegance from Kensington Palace to Windsor Castle During this extended period of use she hasn't missed a beat and has been a joy to own and use
