Last weekend, May 26th and 27th, saw the inaugaral LAND ROVER LEGENDS meeting at Bicester, Oxfordshire, England, and 6 dedicated Famous Four staff made the 300 mile round trip, setting off at 5am on Saturday morning.

We showcased some of our exclusive products for the Classic Range Rovers, and showed our brand new, UK built, lower tailgates to show visitors, who gave much positive feedback. There was quite a bit to see, including JLR Heritage’s stand with their Range Rover Reborn projects.

Our beautiful 25th Anniversary Range Rover Classic made the trip without any trouble, and is pictured here with another of the very rare 25, and two limited edition 35th Anniversary L322 Range Rovers, including a press-launch vehicle. Thanks to Julian Lamb for the lovely photo.

Hopefully we will be out and about visiting other shows over the next few years. We look forward to meeting you all and showing more of our expanding product range.

From another of our satisfied customers:

I had been looking on eBay and the internet for these parts for some time, but was not prepared to pay the excessive prices people are asking for them as used parts.

So when I saw these new products on the Famous Four web site, I pressed the button and purchased them, for what I thought was a reasonable price.

They were packed very well and arrived in good time. The binnacle front was a perfect  fit, and looks great.

The front  closing panel also fitted brilliantly. I had to drill two small holes, one at each corner, and all other holes lined up perfectly. It seems to be made out of slightly thicker material than the original, which can only be good and should last longer than the original.

If this is the standard of all Famous Four’s  re-manufactured parts, I won’t hesitate to purchase from them again.

A very satisfied customer.

Famous Four have recently acquired equipment and appropriate training in our workshops to allow us to offer air conditioning gas emptying, refilling and leak testing services for all Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles using HFC R134a coolant gas. We also offer air conditioning freshener treatments to freshen and sterilise systems suffering from mould or musty smells.

Take a look at our Workshop section for details on your specific model of Land Rover or Range Rover vehicle, and prices for Air Conditioning re-gas services, as well as a wide range of servicing, repairs and restoration work on vehicles right across the range.

Identify the air conditioning gas type in your vehicle?

Look for a label similar to the following (images 2, 3 and 4) on the slam panel at the front of the engine bay to identify the air conditioning Gas type in your vehicle.

We were interested to receive this news from a long-term customer in Switzerland;

I send you pictures of my 1972 Range Rover Suffix A which has less than 80,000 km (about 53,000 miles). I purchased it from a garage which has owned this car since 1975, so I’m the third owner from new. It was not looking good before I bought it so I had to do my first part of a long renovation process.

First of all I stripped down all the parts until I could see that there was not much rust to repair. After rust repair the whole car had a repaint. So now I have rebuilt the car as good as possible so that I could use it.  In the springtime I will carry out some service work and rebuild the interior with new parts sourced from Famous Four and to replace the heater matrix and then I hope that I can enjoy my Suffix A Range Rover again.

We wish him many more happy years of Range Rover Classic ownership!

Today we dispatched two very early Suffix A Range Rover Classics to a client on the continent.

He contacted us with a request for an early vehicle for restoration, and we were able to supply him with two suitable ‘basket cases’ from our stock!

As we restore these cars in-house, we know just how much work will have to go in to his project, but we are sure the end result will be well worth the effort, as the very early examples of the Range Rover Classic are the most sought after.

We are delighted to have sourced a large stock of front seats for later model year 4 door Classic Range Rovers, which we will be offering for sale to valued customers in the very near future.

All of the seats pictured are new, old stock, genuine Land Rover parts which have been unavailable for many years. They will undoubtedly be of great interest to restorers or owners of Range Rovers from the 1990s decade, to be used as replacements for worn or broken originals.

We will consider selling just the covers, or the seat electrics, so do feel free to contact us to see if we can help you with your specific requirements. Watch our website and our ebay pages for listings of individual seats.

We recently invited Land Rover Owner International magazine to visit Famous Four and see how we build up our popular Range Rover Top Tailgate kits. You can find out all the details now too, as they’ve published a full how-to article in their latest edition. See our resident experts Rich S and Sander strip and reassemble a Range Rover top tailgate showing each step required with photos and detailed descriptions. More details are available in this months LRO magazine, out now.

Famous Four Range Rover Top Tailgates kits and pre-assembled tailgates with glass are available via rangerovertailgates.com and famousfour.co.uk to order online today. Famous Four are one of the UK’s leading Independent British 4×4 Specialists, supplying parts, spares and accessories for the full Land Rover and Range Rover range. We also have servicing and repair facilities for vehicles new and old, as well as carrying restorations to suit many different budgets and requirements.

Much work has been undertaken on Range Rover Restoration project ELA 830J since it was last mentioned here and, with a dry day and some freshly painted gleaming body panels recently fitted, complete with detailed front axle rebuild, we took the opportunity today to break out of the workshops for a photo shoot. We hope to progress a little further before exhibiting this and other Range Rovers on our stand at the NEC Classic Car Show in November of this year.
