1981 Range Rover Classic 3.5 V8 Petrol – Completely Restored
This Range Rover Classic 3.5 V8 is one of the first five-door vehicles ever produced by Range Rover itself. The vehicle was equipped in the very rare “In Vogue” version for a five-door model. It was produced at the end of 1981 and delivered on 09.02.1982 by Max Schlapbach Automobile in Brügg-Biel, Switzerland, to Swiss construction contractor Jean-Luis Piffaretti from Tavannes in the canton of Bern.
From 2017 to 2019, the Range Rover underwent a comprehensive overhaul in the Netherlands. During this “body-off” restoration, the body was separated from the chassis. Not only were the chassis and body blasted, welded and rebuilt; the entire aluminum sheet metal was also removed from the steel structure and restored separately. The body was professionally prepared, and all seams were carefully preserved. The suspension, axles, drivetrain, bearings, bushes, etc. were renewed. The vehicle was repainted in the original Vogue Blue Metallic. The interior is in original condition. Only the headliner was renewed and the wood refinished. The engine was partially rebuilt and the transmission completely overhauled. The complete restoration is photo-documented.
The vehicle has been in my possession since 2022. Since then, a total of €9,206.92 has demonstrably been invested in the Range Rover. Above all, the mechanics, including the engine, steering, brakes and suspension, have been continuously improved in order to bring the vehicle into top condition. A Classic Data appraisal from July 2023 confirms an overall condition rating of 1-.
The vehicle history is documented and can be verified through extensive documentation. This Range Rover Classic in “In Vogue” design is in very good condition and fully suitable for everyday use.
