THE RANGE ROVER
An outstanding landmark design that almost single-handedly created the booming market in dual-purpose 4x4s, the Range Rover was greeted with universal acclaim on its release and has remained the class leader, despite ever increasing foreign and domestic competition, ever since.
The Range Rover was greeted enthusiastically by both press and public on its arrival in 1970, offering comfortable cruising at 90mph (145km/h) and a greater off-road capability than most of its customers would ever need. The fact that the original lasted in production for an amazing 24 years before being replaced in 1994 only serves to illustrate the soundness of the original concept. Indeed, the 'old' Range Rover - evocatively renamed Range Rover Classic - did not disappear immediately but continued to be built for another year alongside the new version.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This rare 2-Door Range Rover comes from the final year of production for this iconic model. Completed in Land Rover's Solihill factory and destined for the Continental European market, this left-hand drive remained in Europe until 2016 when it made it way stateside. Prior to its trip across the Atlantic, it was subject to a sympathetic restoration. Resprayed in the classic Range Rover color of Eastnor Green, the interior was entirely retrimmed in tan leather. In a nod to modern tastes and no doubt at greater expense, the seat cushions were finished with a Bentley-like quilted finish.
Dutifully serviced by its American owner since 2016, it is presented today as a rare opportunity to acquire the highly desirable 2-door Range Rover Estate. Whether you plan to head to the beach with surf boards on the roof, to the estate lodge for a pheasant hunt with over-and-unders in the back, or to dinner with family or friends in the back seats, this purposeful and rugged truck will ensure you arrive in style.
