The Appeal
For those seeking more from their Range Rover there is a well-worn path to Overfinch. Whether that equates to more power or bespoke fittings, the firm’s reputation was founded on doing both with a subtlety befitting Land Rover’s most statesmanlike of vehicles.
The 570 set the ball rolling. Overfinch replaced the homegrown factory V8 with a muscly American transplant, a Chevrolet 5.7litre motor with 290bhp. That was a 50% hike on the standard engine. The drivetrain was similarly upgraded with buyers able to choose from an array of suspension, braking and cosmetic enhancements.
The conversion of this Classic to 570 specification dipped deeply into those reserves. Alongside the Chevy motor the halfshafts, brakes, suspension and anti-roll bars have been uprated. It has also been recently re-polybushed.
The vendor reports that there is evidence of considerable restoration from previous years, meaning that it comes to market not requiring any welding. Inside and out it presents well, being usable rather than immaculate as befits a potent working vehicle.
The 570 is a rare and quite delicious addition to the lengthy and varied Range Rover canon and this one looks enticing.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
