I forgot to mention that when mine was registered the first time in Cal,
The DMV didn't know what to call it, So on the title it said
Manufacturer:Rover, Body type: jeep.

Probably not an issue now, but I don’t buy the whole RHD or LHD drive
thing here in the states. I should do some research. You are
right about California being different. They have stringent
laws. <br><br>

<dd>In relation to the US in the late 1980's I was offered a contract to
work as a Registered Nurse in California. When I contacted a
shipping agent about taking my Range Rover, which was only a couple of
years old at that stage, I was told that it would have to be converted to
LHD within 18 months if I stayed. I don't know if that only applies
to California but was part of the reason I didn't end up taking up the
