I have a 83 Range Rover that came with a dealer installed AC unit made by Diavia Frigette of Bologna. My understanding is this was a fairly standard dealer add on before LR offered AC as an option. I have a damaged vents/louvre rail but have had no luck locating a source or anyone even familiar with these units. Being in the USA adds to the challenge as the trucks were not officially imported into the USA until 1987, so really no salvage options. Any suggestions/advise greatly appreciated.

This is the press release that went out on the system.
From the Leyland Italia Press Release of March 23. 1978:
Air conditioning is standard on all Range Rover's
The Range Rover, the most elegant, comfortable and fast off-road vehicle that you can currently meet on our roads, is now sold in Italy with a powerful air conditioning system specially developed by Diavia Frigette of Bologna, as standard.
The validity of this installation was verified by the technical office of Leyland Italy through a series of "tests" laboratory. In the course of these tests and further development from the plant of Diavia Frigette the A/C system is able to ensure a temperatures of +3 C at the output of the jets even when the outside there are +50 C to a minimal of power absorption.
The powerful Rover 3528 cc V8 engine of the 153 hp only use 2.5 to 4 hp to run the installation of the
air conditioning, so that the performance of the Range Rover are minimally affected.
