As part of the 40th Birthday celebrations, members of the RRCV are undertaking a restoration of a Classic 1977 Range Rover. This vehicle is being painstakingly restored under the expert eye of RRCV stalwart, Bill Rolfe. The restored car will be auctioned at Range Rover Show Day, on Saturday 13 November.
The Range Rover Restoration is well underway. See new picture galleries from the working bees that shows the progress.
Present: Bill Rolfe, Ann Rolfe, Ken Jarrett, Steve Hollowood, Mark Mayle, Ian Duddy, Peter Duffell, Philip Menere and Bob Wilson
The first working bee for the restoration project was held at A & B Automatics – Ann and Bill Rolfe’s fine establishment in Dandenong South – at the end of February. We had 8 members in attendance - enough to make it look like a F1 pit stop at times!
The Range Rover Restoration project needs some genuine tools to fill in the gaps in the project cars toolkit. The diagram (click for larger) from the original manual shows what should be there - if you have any of those tools at home that you can donate to the project, please let us know.
