Range Rover Classic 3,9 V8 LSE
Sold
Info
We are proud to offer this 3 doors Range Rover Classic in amazing condition and lovely color, Trocadero Red. The car features the much desired 3,9 V8 engine with automatic transmission.
The car was delivered in 1991 in Portugal where the car stayed for many years. Probably one of the reasons why the bodywork and paintwork is in very good condition. In 2017 it came to Belgium. The current owner has no longer a good place to store the car and so decided to sell it through Classiccarstories.
The car comes with a lot of extra new parts (see pictures) and original fabric for the interior. The seller has also a spare wooden dash and roof liner, worth over 1.600 € which can be added to the sale for a reasonable additional price.
The current MOT is valid until July 2024 and features no remarks on the condition of the car. A valuation report of 2018 states a value of 35.000 €. The original service and owners manual are still present as are other documents like invoices and MOT-reports from Portugal (proof of mileage).
(*) The first-generation Range Rover was produced between 1969 and 1996. It was available only in a 2-door body until 1981. (Before then, 4-door models had been produced by specialist firms).
Unlike other 4x4s such as the Jeep Wagoneer, the original Range Rover was not designed as a luxury vehicle. It was up-market compared to preceding Land Rover models, but the early Range Rovers had fairly basic, utilitarian, interiors with vinyl seats and plastic dashboards that were designed to be washed down with a hose. Convenience features such as power steering, carpeted floors, air conditioning, cloth/leather seats, and wooden interior trim were fitted later.
The Range Rover was a body-on-frame design with a box section ladder type chassis, like the contemporary Series Land Rovers. The Range Rover used coil springs as opposed to leaf springs, permanent four-wheel-drive, and four-wheel disc brakes. The Range Rover was originally powered by various Rover V8 engines and diesel engines.
