Description
Finished in Dark Blue with a contrasting light interior, the car retains much of its original charm and period character.
Under the bonnet sits a 4.2 litre Range Rover engine, fitted with twin SU carburettors, an engine renowned for its smoothness, reliability and excellent parts availability.
The engine bay appears notably complete, while the car also retains many desirable original features throughout.
Inside, the cabin presents as largely complete, featuring its elegant wood dashboard, original instrumentation and cream upholstery.
The interior will naturally require recommissioning and cosmetic attention following long-term storage, although it remains an honest and remarkably intact environment for a car of this age.
Externally, the Rover displays the patina and signs of age expected of a genuine stored example.
Corrosion is visible around areas including the screens, bodywork and brightwork, while the chrome bumpers exhibit surface corrosion and age-related wear.
