Range Rover (Classic) 2.5 Turbo D, Registration B378 TAC, Chassis No. SALLHAME7CA157990, modified by Land Rover for breaking speed records. Now part of the Dunsfold Collection of Landrovers, Surrey, UK. NO RELEASES AVAILABLE. Automotive trademarks are the property of the trademark holder, authorization may be needed for some uses. --- Info: This vehicle has a very interesting history, it was teh first diesel car to maintain a constant 100mph for 24 hours, breaking all diesel speed records in the mid 80s. To assist with this a few modifications had to be done. The fuel access is in the rear lower tailgate to enable quick re-fueling. Most of the glass has been replaced with perspex, rear seats removed, quick release bonnet catch, gauges and radio communication added. The reason for the record attempt was to get the press back on side, having previously given the Range Ropver Diesel a slating.
