Subject: The Millionth Land Rover and a 'Darien Gap' Range Rover - driving
both of them

other classic

near Stratford

Heritage Motor Centre

the British Trans

known as the 'Darien
> Gap' vehicles, these are both owned by BMIHT and are very early examples
that

in 1970.
> The material will hopefully be released for publication by BMIHT in about
a week from now
