I've been searching for 860003 for 37 years. Have scoured every inch of the US of A. Seriously, *HUGE* respect to the owner keeping the original paint and to the restorer of course!

A really good story and history which is incredible. Thanks to Martin and Julian and the present owner too.

Budget was clearly not an issue, one of the richest men on the planet with his own 4x4 carmaking company!

Great restoration and a most wonderful book.

[@mpfrias]

It's a great and sugestive project to induct the taste for new restortions abroad. Congratulations Julian.

I read this book a few years ago when I was recovering from pneumonia , fantastic book that any Land Rover fan should have 🇬🇧

[@paulrobinson3528]

I can't believe Land Rover lost the bid on this if they even bid on it.? This should be part of the Land Rover collection but they didn't bid enough or even bid at all so their loss. Would be great to see it on display at The Gaydon Heritage centre one day??

Amazing work, would love to see a video with all the pictures and footage of the actual restoration. Any chance on this?

[@PorterPress]

Unfortunately we don't have any videos and footage of the actual restoration. However, we do have the book JUE 477 - The remarkable history and restoration of the world’s first production Land-Rover available on the Porter Press website, which has lots of superb images and information from before and after the restoration.

Well that's my Christmas present to myself sorted!

[@johngunning2123]

Same here.

To buy a Jeep?

Wonder how much this project has cost in money...but we'll probably never know. Probably if someone asks how much it costs to row a project like this ashore, they can't afford it :-) greetings from Sweden.

Where is it now??
