The Appeal
The Range Rover has built up an impressive legacy over the years, originally designed as a road-going utility vehicle with luxury touches. Now, of course, the modern Range Rover is far from its roots, which leaves collectors and enthusiasts on the hunt for examples of the Classic.
This particular low mileage example offers an excellent opportunity for buyers, as somewhat of a blank canvas. See, thanks to the vehicles’ supposed salt-free past in South Africa, this Range Rover could make the perfect base for a restoration project. But at the same time, this beast is more than happy to be enjoyed as it currently is, with a few characterful signs of its age of course.

The History and Paperwork
- South African import
- 2 former keepers
- Low mileage example
- NOVA certified
This classic Range Rover hails from South Africa, where it has spent the majority of its life free from the UK’s salted roads. Over the years, the vehicle has also covered rather few miles and now shows just over 74K on the clock.
Imported in 2021, this vehicle is now ready to find its next home, where it would make either an excellent restoration project or a perfectly usable motor as it currently stands. Although not a great deal of paperwork is present, the current keeper assures us that all relevant import documentation has been sorted and the vehicle is ready to be registered.
The Interior
- Original interior
- Beige/tan leather
- Well-aged, but practical finish
- Replacement headliner
- All features are in full working order
As this Range Rover is one of the few yet to be restored, the interior shows off a mostly original finish. Fortunately, this offers quite a blank canvas for buyers. You can either use the interior in all its practicality without much worry about damaging a perfect finish, or you can take advantage of the endless possibilities for restoring/retrimming the interior as you please.
Now, as the interior is original, there are of course signs of age to expect. As the photos reflect, a great deal of wear can be found with the passenger’s seat, although the driver’s seat and rear bench show far fewer signs of age. Given the state of the passenger’s seat, it seems rather likely that the driver’s seat has indeed received some TLC in the past.
Carpeting throughout the cabin seemingly shows very few defects, although a good detail certainly wouldn’t go amiss. In fact, a great deal of the interior components could have years taken off them with a bit of elbow grease, or perhaps a professional’s touch.
The Exterior
- Original white paintwork
- Classic Range Rover styling
- Aftermarket 16” wheels with BF Goodrich tyres
Although not a restored example, this Range Rover presents itself rather well for its age, showing off what is believed to be its original white finish.
As you would expect, the paintwork now shows signs of its age, in the form of the expected front end marks, slight imperfections to the arches, and various minor defects along the body. That being said, it’s still quite impressive for a nearly 40-year-old vehicle, and certainly wouldn’t look out of place amongst a usable collection.
The vehicle sits on a set of aftermarket 16” wheels which finished in black, suit the beastly nature of the V8 Range Rover perfectly. The wheels are in great condition, and come wrapped in a set of BF Goodrich tyres All Terrain tyres with plenty of tread still left to enjoy.
The Mechanics
- 3.5L V8
- Upgraded 5-speed Manual transmission
- Starts & drives brilliantly
This Range Rover pairs its factory-fitted V8 with an upgraded 5-speed manual box to deliver a very characterful driving experience, packed with all the torque and charm of a big ol’ V8. This example also seems to show off a set of aftermarket shocks and springs, although specifics are currently unknown.
With no known issues to report and excellent mechanical health, this beast of a classic Range Rover is more than ready to impress its next lucky owner.

Summary
As previously stated, this example presents a fantastic opportunity for enthusiasts and collectors alike, offering somewhat of a blank canvas. The vehicle would make a very solid platform for a restoration project, but could also serve as a dependable workhorse or enjoyable toy as it currently stands.
Whatever your intentions with the vehicle are, there is no doubt that this low-mileage Range Rover deserves to be on your list.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
