Thank you Col. I am pleased that the car was first used at the factory. You never know someone who worked there then might remember it!

A little while ago i posted to try and find out more about a 1975 Series 3 i have bought. I have recently found out that it spent the first 5 years of its life being used at the Car Dispatch Department at Lode Lane. Does anyone know any more about this department and what my car would have been...

Wow, thank you! It would be great if it started life being used at one of the LR factories. I have sent of form V888 to the DVLA so may have some answers soon.

Thank you
