Highlights
- 3.9-litre EFI V8 engine coupled to a ZF four-speed automatic gearbox
- Very original and well presented overall
- Timeless Range Rover Classic shape that still looks handsome to this day
- Large history file containing a number of invoices for past servicing
- We’re informed a new airflow ECU fitted recently and the car runs well as a result
The Appeal
If ever a car could be described as timeless, the Range Rover is surely a strong contender. These classic 4x4s are immensely popular with companies like Kingsley Cars and even Land Rover themselves, restoring these old Range Rovers to pristine condition.
This 1990 Vogue SE is very presentable for its age and appears really original. Accompanied by a sizable history file and equipped with the desirable 3.9-litre EFI V8, this is a particularly attractive proposition that we urge you not to miss out on.
The History and Paperwork
- Ring bound folder containing a curated history of the vehicle
- A number of invoices for past work and servicing
- Hand-written record of work carried out including dates
- V5C present
- MOT valid until September 2023
- The last owner acquired the car in 2018
- The vendor informs us that an engine service has been carried out recently
- Always garaged by the previous owner
The Interior
- Very original and remains in good condition
- The original leather seats present well for their age with some gentle wear
- A few scuffs are visible on the driver’s seat but this is not excessive
- The headlining is well-afixed and really smart
- Protective overmats protect the carpeting and they appear to have done their job well
- We couldn’t discern any damage to the dashboard and the vendor informs us all the switchgear works well
- Cut-off switch wired in on the driver’s side of the dashboard
- All the electric windows reportedly work well
- The driver’s electric seat does not currently function and neither does the sunroof
- The inside of the boot is in good order although the tailgate struts are a bit weak
The Exterior
- The blue paintwork is in good overall condition
- Largely straight bodywork with only the odd small dent
- Looks to be solid underneath with a sound chassis and minimal surface rust
- Slight oxidation to the alloy wheels
- The paint remains quite bright, with a few stone chips on the leading edge of the bonnet and a few marks to be found elsewhere
- The vendor points out some bubbling at the base of the offside A pillar and also some corrosion to the offside rear wheel arch inside the door jamb
- As often occurs on Range Rovers of this vintage, there is some rust bubbling at the top of the tailgate on the nearside
- The vendor has identified a hole in the offside front wheel arch under the brake servo that will require a small repair
- The bumpers and trim present well and it appears complete
- Renowned for their large glass area, this Range Rover’s windows are all in nice shape
- All of the light lenses are in good order
The Mechanics
- 3.9-litre EFI V8 under the bonnet
- Four-speed ZF automatic gearbox
- Starts readily and runs smoothly
- The vendor points out a fluid leak from the steering box and diagnoses it as in need of a seal kit or drop link shaft
- Recent engine service
- New battery fitted
- Drives well with no issues to report
Summary
This Range Rover would make a great classic daily driver or else a brilliant rolling restoration project.

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.
