The no-nonsense Land Rover was an unashamed agricultural workhorse and, though fully roadable, was never intended to cosset its occupants. From day one, there therefore lay scope for the production of a sibling that combined the Landie’s much-vaunted off-road prowess with a greater degree of on-road chic and comfort. Though various such plans were mooted in the 1950s, it was the emergence of the SUV market in America a decade later that finally convinced Rover to create such a model. Spen King famously oversaw the ‘100 inch Station Wagon’ project that was finally revealed to the world as the Range Rover in 1970 - a David Bache design that created a whole new genre of go-anywhere vehicles, which remains in full bloom today.

Purchased in November of 1995 by its current owner, and in need of restoration, this particular example was used for a year before being stripped and a number of panels replaced before being subject to a number of works over a period of c.15 years. Of these, included was a 2000 tdi engine and gearbox conversion. ‘OOV 107X’ also benefited from uprated springs and dampers, stainless steel exhaust system and partial Vogue interior with electric windows and finally, c.10 years ago, the vehicle was painted in an attractive shade of Metallic Blue, with the underside waxoiled and treated with mioguard paint, which is used to treat oil rigs. Now requiring some finishing touches including door cards and headlining, ‘OOV 107X’ displays 77,016 miles on the odometer and is offered with an MOT valid until 06 April 2023. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork as ‘Very Good’, the engine, electrical equipment, paintwork and transmission as ‘Good’, with the interior trim ‘Average’.
