The document below was designed by our Secretary Dieter Sikorski and summarizes the founding concept of the LRCC in a few sentences.
It was sent to various European Land Rover-affiliated institutions, such as magazines or other Land Rover Clubs, for the launch of the LRCC.
Land Rover Classic Club
- The Secretary -
Dr. med. Dieter Sikorski
On behalf of the Board, I inform you that in July 2001 we founded the LRCC (Land Rover Classic Club).
This club only includes friends of Land Rovers with lead frames. The club found 20 people. The number of members should be limited. Interested parties are only included if they are proposed by a member. The interest in the Land Rover has the same importance as the friendly contact with each other.
The LRCC publishes the magazine "Der Leiterrahmen" once a year. A magazine that deals not only with the vehicle, but also with the life style of the members.
New is a calendar in which our vehicles are in focus. Each member receives a copy.
An exchange with land rover clubs of other countries is one of the declared goals of the club.
