There was always scope for the production of a vehicle that combined the no-nonsense Land Rover's off-road prowess with a greater degree of on-road chic and comfort. Though various plans were mooted in the 1950s, it was the emergence of the American 'all-purpose' vehicles 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 as the Range Rover in 1970. The David Bache-penned newcomer was powered by the ubiquitous Rover V8 which was connected to a permanent four-wheel drive system for optimum traction.
In its original guise, the Range Rover proved so popular that it was produced with only minor updates until 1996, two years after the second-generation P38 was launched. Its enduring success was attributable to its capability as well as its sharp looks, which are very much in evidence in the example we are offering. First registered in August, 1991, and sold through Farnell Land Rover of Bradford to Wilsden Autos of Wilsden, West Yorkshire, it survives in very good condition thanks to a life of light use and regular, sympathetic maintenance.
It has only covered some 91,000 miles from new and the service book reveals regular dealer servicing up to 1999, while a collection of invoices from Dennis Golding Motor Engineers of Chingford reveals some of the maintenance that was performed during the late 1990s. Cosmetically, the Trocadero Red Metallic paint and the Windsor Grey velour interior present very well, with new front wings having been fitted within the last 10 months. Some light refurbishment was completed in March of this year, with the vendor having the headlining and sunroof aperture retrimmed by Nationwide Trim of Redditch and the wheels refurbished and newly painted by Supreme Wheels of Milton Keynes, with new tyres fitted as well. The vendor reports that it “drives really nicely” recently completing a 200-mile trip returning 20mpg! Offered with a history file including the book pack with the original stamped service book, collection of MOTs back to the 1990s, two sets of keys, previous invoices, and current V5C document.
The Range Rover is offered with its current V5C showing eight former keepers, a book pack including the owner’s manual, service book and radio guide, assorted invoices, an MOT valid until October and certificates running back to 1999, plus a set of spare keys.
