Alfred Famiglietti – New Hampshire USA

Rebuilt 1974 Land Rover SIII 109″ truck cab

When Alfred approached us to supply and rebuild a Land Rover suitable for export to the USA, we were able to offer a choice of X-MOD donor vehicles. All were LHD, and there were both SIIA and SIII 109″s. Between us, we settled on this 1974 example. Alfred chose the colour, which is Willow Green Metallic (as featured on some limited edition Defender 90’s), and we then did the rest.
