The Appeal
Enthusiasts love the later Range Rover Classic because it set the template for what a luxury SUV could be. Their sheer usability, capability and reliability mean that even decades after the last ones left the factory, good examples still make ideal daily drivers and competent tow vehicles.
The Classic is a workhorse, and so many have led a hard life. Not so this example. It is that rarest of finds, a factory-standard, high-specification Vogue SE that has been looked after by its handful of keepers.
The first of those was a diplomat with the Indonesian Embassy, who added optional TWR OEM alloys to his choice of smart Westminster Grey paintwork and Dark Sable leather cabin. The history file documents a continuous run of maintenance and servicing that supports the low displayed mileage and provides excellent provenance.
It comes to market fresh from a lengthy list of recent work. This has included new General Grabber tyres, attention to front and rear brakes, an airflow meter, fuel pump, distributor plus ignition coil and leads.
In good order with a valid MOT and all that recent work, this is a well-sorted example of a vehicle that works as a daily driver or cherished classic and is ready for the road or field ahead.
