Description
1974 Land Rover Range Rover Classic – Suffix C – 3. 5 V8 – Bahama Gold
Early Range Rover Classic Suffix C, first registered in April 1974, finished in its original factory Bahama Gold colour with Bronze interior.
The vehicle benefits from extensive historical documentation, including original period paperwork confirming the vehicle’s existence, factory specification, chassis and engine numbers.
Powered by the original 3. 5 V8 petrol engine with manual transmission, left-hand drive, and presented in an honest, largely original condition.
Due to age and period instrumentation changes, total mileage cannot be warranted. Historical documents show indicated mileage readings in period records, however mileage is recorded as not guaranteed.
A correct and well-documented early Range Rover Classic, suitable for continued use, preservation or sympathetic improvement.
German papers, deregistered, ready for export.
Vehicle located in Lisbon, Portugal. Early Range Rover Classics represent the very beginning of the luxury 4x4 concept, and the Suffix C sits right in that sweet spot of early production, simplicity and character.
What stands out in this example is its original Bahama Gold colour, its largely unmodified nature, and the amount of period documentation that accompanies the car, which is increasingly rare on vehicles of this era.
It is a car that still feels authentic and honest to drive — not over-restored, not modernised — just a correct early Range Rover that tells its story through use rather than perfection. An ideal base for a collector who values originality and provenance over cosmetic excess.
