The Appeal

Introduced in 1994, the new Range Rover was the first all-new car since the original, and the last to boast that oh-so-popular Rover V8 - complete with an advanced air-suspension system that made the luxurious new off-roader a remarkably comfortable ride, no matter its environ.

This particular example boasts a striking Metallic Green livery, with a Cream leather interior, and clearly been quite the pampered vehicle. Indeed, having been dry-stored since 2019 and used sparingly by its previous owner, this Range Rover has been kept in very good order throughout its life. These 4x4s often eat up the miles and misadventures in their droves, so finding one in such fine fettle should get plenty of enthusiasts excited!
