MODERN<br />

EXPLORERS<br />

In December 1971, two Range Rover crews set out on<br />

a formidable 18,000-mile journey across the Americas that<br />

would become part of Land Rover history. Departing from<br />

Anchorage in Alaska and ending their journey at the most<br />

southerly point in Argentina, the now iconic British Trans-<br />

Americas Expedition was led by British officer, explorer and<br />

author Colonel John Nicholas Blashford-Snell, who steered<br />

his two first-generation Range Rover vehicles across the<br />

continents. Halfway down, they faced the Darién Gap, a large<br />

swathe of undeveloped swampland and rainforest connecting<br />

the two Americas at the border between Panama and<br />

Colombia. Thanks to Blashford-Snell’s legendary grit and the<br />

two Range Rover vehicles’ peerless capabilities, the expedition<br />

made it across to become the first vehicle-based expedition to<br />

traverse both <strong>American</strong> continents through the Darién Gap.<br />

Fast-forward to 2017, and this classic Land Rover moment<br />

now lives again, thanks to the 2017 Land Rover Heritage<br />

Collection: a premium range of clothing, gifts and accessories<br />

inspired by that all-conquering spirit of perseverance.<br />

In it you’ll see the inspiration from the original Range Rover<br />

vehicles’ navy and gold finish, while technical graphics and<br />

route map designs help bring the legend of the British Trans-<br />

Americas Expedition back to life.<br />
