1970/71 - Range Rover in AustraliaA small fleet of 3 Range Rover were imported to Australia as press launch and demonstration vehicles,prior to the official launch in July 1972. They were of the very early built 356-series; RHD Export models and imported late in 1970.
The 3 first 'officially' imported Range Rovers to Australia:
- Davos White - Serial nbr 35600022A (Still exist)
- Davos White - Serial nbr 35600033A - Masai Red - Serial nbr 35600037A The recreational vehicle market in Australia were growing and popular in 1970. There were not
so many restrictions where you could drive with a 4WD and the new Range Rover looks to fit perfect in the recreational market (RV) market. From the demonstrations with #022A early in 1972, prior to
Melbourne International Motor Show in March the same year
Prior to the official Leyland launch of Range Rover in Australia in July 1972, some very few vehicles arrived the Australian continent like this Range Rover "J 3249". The first owner bought the Range Rover early in 1971 and drove it overland from Jersey/UK to India, where it was shipped to Australia. A rather long way to drive your new vehicle home!
The Australian magazine "Wheels" did a testdrive of this completely "new" vehicle and here are some elements from their article in May 1972:
"Before driving the car, we couldn't see a big market for it. But, now we are sure it will sell in Australia as well as it has in England. Unfortunately the car is stuck with the Land-Rover image of rough and ready transport for the farmer and his sheep. In fact, it's a fast, comfortable and exceptionally roomy station wagon."
"But as a station wagon it has its detractions. We can't imagine a woman enjoying her drive down to the shops in a Range Rover. The controls are a little heavy, in true four-wheel-drive tradition, and even getting into it would pose quite a problem for the mini-skirted." (!)
"The engine is exceptionally smooth and quiet, giving tremendous low-down torque and yet revving quite happily. It will pull strongly from as low as 10 mph in top and take-off from standstill in second as though it didn't have a lower gear. Changing gear at speed is largely a matter of guesswork as the engine noise is drowned by whining tyres (unoriginal). The Rover we drove was fitted with off-road tyres with huge lugs on them - designed to make driver and passengers wear ear plugs if they want to travel at any speed." (!)
"Not only the ride is outstanding but its cornering ability is far in excess of what you imagine for an almost six-foot tall vehicle with beam axles you naturally associate with an agricultural scene."
This RRC were driven overland from UK, via India to
Australia in '71
The first batch of 100 Range Rover's were waited to arrive Australia in July 1972.

Range Rover was launched in the winter of July 1972 in Australia Prices on Range Rover in Australia: The first year of a Range Rover: AUS $ 7.475 Official import of Range Rover to Australia and New Zealand from July 1972: From the launch of Range Rover in UK in June 1970 untill the official import to Australia began Some were bought as regular domestic UK vehicles with prefix-355 in the #VIN and exported by the owner from UK. Some also found their way to Australia from other countries, but most from
UK. Other were ordered as RHD Export models with prefix-356 and exported to Australia as 'Personal Export Delivery' (PED). This import can have been arranged by the new owner personally or by a car dealer company like BLMC dealers in Australia. If you check your vehicles VIN at BMIHT in UK, you can get info if your early Range Rover is exported as 'Personal Export Delivery' order. The first batch of the officially imported Range Rover in Australia was a shipment of 26 vehicles which ranged from 35600271A to 35600367A in various colours and not linear in the #VIN range. The first shipment arrived Sydney with the SS Wilkawa on 17th July 1972. The second batch of 18 vehicles landed on the SS Tricolour numbered from 35600371A to 35600578A in October 1972 The third batch of 6 vehicles within the range from 35600357A to 35600440A arrived on the Port Officially imported Range Rovers to Australia have this badge with Launceston in November 1972.
