Classic 1977 Range Rover + question

Few days ago i bought 1977 Range Rover Classic.
Car was last driven in 2001. and since then it was parked.
Owner started the car once a month to be sure that car is in working order.
Car is starting fine, works fine only brake is very low.

Restauration will start in Autumn, maybe next year.

Also I have one question.
I found what I think is Carmichael Commando with custom made rear body for RTB (Radio Television Belgrade), and Range Rover Brooklands, LHD European version, only 75 were made.
So anyone knows what VIN's these cars use? They use special VIN's or they are using normal RR's VIN's?
Thanks in advance

Yeah. No one worked on the car before. It was damaged once while owner was on vacation, and service added this bumper, turn signal from newer RR and those turn signals on wings, and also put a lot of filler.
Everything else is original.

Might be worth a look:

Thanks for the link. Look like Carmichael uses same VIN's as normal RR, but any idea about EUR version Brooklands? This link states that UK version have VIN JA, so maybe EUR version uses same VIN?
