Range Rover Classic 2 Door 'Suffix D' 1975 RANGE ROVER CLASSIC 2 DOOR 'SUFFIX D' Very good mechanical and cosmetic condition Questionable price HIGHLIGHTS This Range Rover Classic 2 Door 'Suffix D' is a classic, highly versatile and iconic British 4x4, which has benefited from extensive recent servicing. Under the bonnet is a naturally aspirated 3. 5-litre Rover V8, fed by twin SU carburettors, which sends power to all four wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox.
This example is considered to be an original model for the French market, first registered in September 1975, and was acquired by the vendor in May 2023. The odometer shows 84, 538 km, which is unjustified.
EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES In 'Suffix D' trim, the Range Rover had upgraded carburettors, interior lighting and transmission tunnel trim, but remained with a utilitarian plastic dashboard. This example is finished in the refined shade of Sahara Dust with contrasting black bumpers, over a brown vinyl trimmed interior, with a black dashboard.
It is mounted on 16-inch Rostyle steel wheels fitted with Hankook Dynapro ATM tyres. Equipment includes a heated rear window, three-spoke steering wheel, sliding quarter windows, high and low range gearbox, Jaeger, Smiths and Lucas counters, heating and ventilation controls, Kienzle analogue clock and sliding rear windows.
The car is accompanied by a spare wheel, registration document and latest service invoices. CONDITION Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition.
The vendor advises that there is no corrosion, that the chassis and various rust spots have been sanded and treated as necessary, and that new carpet and door cards have been fitted. The vendor advises that the speedometer shows the correct speed, but that the odometer does not work. MAINTENANCE HISTORY The most recent service on this Range Rover was carried out in January 2025, at approximately 60, 000 km, by Seeders garage. It involved fitting and balancing four new tyres, removing and refurbishing the headlining, fitting new number plates, replacing the rear window with new seals, fitting two new door cards, fitting a new carpet, fitting a new OEM carburettor gasket kit, replacing the dashboard, painting the radiator grille and headlamp surrounds, fitting a new speedometer cable, removing a trailer hitch and fitting a new battery.

SUMMARY This Range Rover Classic 2-door 'Suffix D' is a very capable classic British 4x4 that benefits from extensive recent servicing. With its attractive period colours, instantly recognisable styling, spacious interior, reliable Rover V8 engine and lauded off-road capabilities, it would make a sensible addition to any classic collection and a versatile companion for everyday driving, weekend adventures and classic car show visits.
