Almost there - the styling departments full-size clay model will settle the final shape of the Range Rover. Note the alternative grill styles, and the name "Road Rover" still lingers. By late 1969 the prototypes had served their purpose, and "Line production" was ready to start, and a new chassis numbering scheme was introduced, using the numbers:
355 to signify "Home market RHD",
358 to signify "LHD"
356 to signify "RHD Export"
573 to signify "CKD" kits.
25 of these "Pre-production" Range Rovers were built during late 1969 and early 1970. They were registered in London, with the registration number sequence YVB 151H to YVB 175H.
The first three YVB 151H, YVB 152H and YVB 153H were registered on 2nd January 1970.
