The Appeal
The introduction of the Range Rover Vogue 3.9 EFI marked a significant milestone in the model's history, offering enhanced refinement and performance over earlier variants while preserving the vehicle's legendary off-road capability. The 3.9-litre V8 engine provided a welcome power increase, while the Vogue trim level delivered a more luxurious driving experience befitting its increasingly upmarket positioning.
This 1991 example stands out for its remarkable provenance, having been purchased new from Land Rover dealership Scremin of Bassano and remaining with the same owner ever since. This vehicle has benefited from consistent care by the same specialist mechanic throughout its life.
This Range Rover presents a rare opportunity to acquire a vehicle with a documented history and ASI certification, essentially a one-owner model. The original Ardennes Green paintwork and Sorrell grey leather interior remain in good order, and the vehicle retains its factory-original Range Rover branded radio, confirming its authenticity and originality.
The vendor says:
"As befits a queen of the road from the 1990s, it has an almost contemporary interior: air conditioning, electric sunroof, ABS, full leather upholstery. What's more, it has optimised suspension and power steering that is in perfect working order. Modifications have been made for daytime running lights and LED headlights, which are very useful: the original headlights and lights are included in the spare parts. Rear camera and buzzer for reversing. Flexible reading light for the passenger, not standard on the car."
