This little darling was holding together a breather pipe that wasn't much longer than the copper pipe.....

Maybe before your time, but rear bull bars were the option in my days of Range Rovers and as u can see the locking pins will enable the bar to be dropped horizontal, handy for the RR owners that needed to carry bales of hay.
Hay Ho you learn something every day.

I worked on and serviced the first Range rovers ever to see light of day. The bails of hay went in the back. Strange as it may seem never saw an early one with a bull bar on. That fad came much later.

If one has a range rover to use on the farm.. one gets the staff to move the hay

Before Wammer's time? I don't think there was recorded history then let alone Range Rovers!

The early Range rovers were a bit of an abortion if the truth be known. Went through rear main oil seals, gearboxes and transfer boxes like a four year old goes through a bag of sweets. And very interesting to drive at speed down a twisty road. A bit like shooting a set of rapids stood up in a canoe. The police turned that many over they were banned from giving pursuit in them. Rear anti roll bars improved them a little it has to be said.

How early?
I didn't mind the transition from a solid TVR ride to the RRs and stayed with it for 10 years, my brother who bought himself his own RR the same day couldn't get on with it and sold it within a year to go back to his Jaguars and been with a Jag ever since.
I never had any oil seals, gearbox or transfer box issues perhaps that was down to the twice a year service at a main LR dealer as the vehicle was used every day of the year then.
The EFI ECU failed in 6 years a common issue then, and unfortunately 6 months before I sold the vehicle the camshaft and all that goes with had to be replaced, so much for main dealer servicing but there was 110,000 miles on the clock, lucky it was only off the road for two days but I was later £1100 lighter.

The very early ones. I worked at a main dealers and we changed many transfer boxes under warranty. As well as all the other stuff. No such thing as EFI in those days. They had things called carburetors on them you may have read about them in history books.

The early classic had a tendency to roll when changing direction at a clip. On the classic they put in anti roll bars, early classics dont have them at all.
