Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1971 Range Rover 'Suffix A' is a highly desirable classic, estimated at £25,000 - £35,000. It features a recent restoration in its original Davos White color and includes its original, low-mileage V8 engine, though it temporarily ran on a Discovery 300 TDI engine. The interior boasts a Wood and Pickett modification with Cream leather, adding a unique touch to this well-preserved, authentic Suffix A model.
