Land Rover Heritage is go!

JLR Special Operations expands further with new parts range for classic Landies and Range Rovers

---

The premise of Land Rover Heritage is very simple. It knows that around 70 per cent of all Landies produced since 1948 are still running and being enjoyed by owners. Like those owners, it wants to ensure this continues. So how better to do so than by introducing a range of approved parts?

And you'll get to drive them soon too!

The Heritage catalogue will cater for all Land Rovers that have been out of production for 10 years or more, which means the P38 Range Rover plus Discovery 1 and 2 as well as the classic Range Rover and the Series I, II and III cars. Initially the P38 and Discovery models will be supported with salvage and extended service parts, with full body and trim items available for the Range Rover Classic. For the Series cars, Land Rover Heritage states that 'selected' parts are available at present with more original parts to follow using the original tooling methods. They will be warrantied too. And once the Defender is finally gone at the end of this year, parts will be available for the next 15 years through Land Rover, after which Heritage will maintain the supply. They'll be around for a while yet!

Moreover, Land Rover Heritage will extend beyond simply keeping old cars on the road. Like its Jaguar counterpart, there will soon be Heritage Drives where models from throughout the back catalogue can be driven by the public. And if they look as good as this Range Rover Classic, recently restored with Heritage parts, demand will surely be running very high!
