Overview

The Range Rover Classic is widely regarded as one of the most influential luxury off road vehicles ever produced. First introduced in the 1970s, the model helped define the modern premium SUV segment by combining genuine off road capability with comfort and refinement rarely seen in four wheel drive vehicles of the time.

This example dates from 1987 and is presented in Green with a Brown interior, a colour combination that suits the character of the classic Range Rover particularly well. Showing 105,574 km recorded, the vehicle carries an auction grade of 3 with a D rated interior. While the condition reflects the age of the vehicle and indicates that restoration or recommissioning work will likely be required, the car still represents an appealing base for enthusiasts seeking a classic Range Rover project.
