The restoration photographic record could be presented to any genuinely interested buyer.
PARTICULAR CONFIGURATION
This is one of the last generations of the Range Rover Classic 3-door, benefiting notably from:
• 3. 9i V8 engine
• power steering
• air conditioning
• electric windows
• fawn interior
• Bluetooth audio system
• 3-door configuration
The vehicle has also received an aesthetic backdating, with small bumpers and vertical grille, to recapture the iconic appearance of the earliest Range Rover Classics whilst retaining the features and comfort of this final generation.
A RARE EXAMPLE
This Range Rover is not simply a vehicle in "good condition".
It is an example that has benefited from a complete restoration, with documented investment, an extremely clear history, only two owners and original mileage.
The combination of:
3 doors + 3. 9 V8 + 1992 + Shire Blue + fawn interior + LHD + complete restoration + original mileage + accident-free history
makes it a particularly interesting example for a Range Rover Classic collector or enthusiast.

Vehicle intended for an enthusiast or collector seeking a genuinely restored and documented Range Rover Classic 3-door.
No compromise on the vehicle's condition: the price reflects the extent of the restoration.
English documentation available for international buyers.
I purchased this Range Rover Classic directly from its first owner in Portugal, where the vehicle spent its entire life. Its Portuguese origin is particularly interesting for a Range Rover Classic, as the mild climate and absence of regular salt use on roads provided generally far more favourable conditions for preserving the chassis and bodywork than in many Northern European countries.
I chose this example because I have always appreciated the purity of line and character of the Range Rover Classic 3-door, and particularly the later versions equipped with the V8.
What makes it truly special today is the combination of its history, configuration and the extent of its restoration: October 1992 model, 3. 9-litre V8, 5-speed manual gearbox, left-hand drive, Shire Blue finish and fawn interior.
Rather than simply carrying out an aesthetic refresh, I chose to have the vehicle completely restored in 2024/ 2025. The restoration was carried out from the chassis, with the objective of preserving the original character of the Range Rover whilst returning it to an exceptional condition.
All the work is documented by invoices and an extensive photographic record tracing the various stages of restoration. A restoration certificate was also issued in April 2026. The vehicle also has a clean CarVertical history and has never been accident-damaged.
What I particularly appreciate about this Range Rover is its simplicity, character and timeless design. The 3-door bodywork, V8, manual gearbox, small bumpers and vertical grille give it the spirit of the earliest Range Rovers, whilst benefiting, on this final generation, from power steering, air conditioning and electric windows.
For me, it represents a particularly successful combination: the iconic style and character of a classic Range Rover, the pleasure of an atmospheric V8 and the usability of one of the last 3-door versions.
