The 1980 Land Rover Range Rover is a classic British 4x4 that combines rugged off-road capability with a level of luxury that was unprecedented for its time. Rugged, durable, yet inimitable comfortable, this is really where the definition of the luxury 4x4 really stepped into its own.
This particular example has been meticulously maintained and upgraded. Converted to right-hand drive, this nicely-presented example spent much of its life in France, and returned to the UK in 2019. It now comes to market in superior fettle, with an attractive sand yellow colour scheme.
