This is a smart and beautifully original example of the breed, full of period character. It carries a fresh MOT which it passed with flying colours and is absolutely ready to use, show, or simply cherish in private.
The present owner – a Land Rover devotee with 12 two-door Range Rovers in his collection – imported the vehicle from the south of France around 2017. Restoration work began in 2020 and it was first registered for UK roads in 2021. There are 83,000 kilometres on the clock. (The private registration number 100 ROG is not included in the sale.)
Mechanically it’s believed to be entirely original, with the same engine and drivetrain that were installed by Solihull. That means power comes from a lovely 3.5-litre Rover V8 breathing through a pair of SU carburettors. You have a characterful four-speed LT95 manual gearbox to play with, plus a stubby lever to select between high and low ratio. In other words, it’s all exactly as it should be.
“In terms of corrosion it’s the best specimen I’ve ever had,” the owner tells us. “My father had one just like this on the farm when I was growing up, so it brings back lovely memories. Obviously you get plenty of interesting noises when you’re driving a 40-year-old Range Rover – and this one sounds just right. I’m really going to miss it.”
