Description:

Description from The Vendor:

This 4 door Range Rover Classic is a 3.5 V8 with a manual 5 speed gearbox, with many early Range Rover features including vertical grill, rostyle wheels, external hinges and hinged rear number plate. The mileage reads as 34,000 kilometres so it is probably 134,000, which is approximately 84,000 miles. It was originally a RHD South African vehicle and was imported to the UK in September 2016 with receipts for approx £3k of work between arriving in the UK and the current vendor buying the car earlier this year.  Since then, it has been subject to a further £3.5k of recommissioning work including a full service; oils and fluids change; new brake discs and pads front and rear; new steering arm; carb strip down and rebuild; new steering arms; four new Michelin tyres and MoT valid to August 2022. The car drives well and is a very usable classic.

It is in original condition and the chassis and body appear structurally sound, with the car benefitting from its time in the South African climate.  The interior is free from any major damage, rips or tears and the headlining is good although the wooden door cappings require some attention and the interior would benefit from a deep clean but should come up really well.  Period sales brochures, vehicle handbook and workshop manuals are included.  The vendor is selling it to make way for another project.

 

Auctioneer’s notes:

This is a 37 year old Range Rover Classic starting life in S.A. “no rust”.  They were very advanced for their time,  the 4-door model was introduced in 1981 and this model retains “instrument pod” as fitted to the very first models.  They have a permanent 4 wheel drive system and that wonderful, all aluminium V8 engine: and talking about alloy which is used in the construction of the body.  Condition-wise she could benefit with a little TLC and a damn good clean would work wonders.  They are great fun to drive and have a great off road performance  May be viewed, strictly by appointment.
