- Matching numbers throughout

The Appeal
It wasn't just the Range Rover...
America's International Harvester Scout was also there at the birth of the SUV; another vehicle that combined off-road capability with on-road usability.
This 1978 example stands out for its condition and striking period colour scheme: Rare (and reportedly factory-correct Mint Green over a Sierra Tan interior). As a matching numbers vehicle that has been recently registered after being imported to Europe in the 1990s, this Scout II has everything going for it.
