AI Listing Summary

This is a wonderfully original and unmolested late seventies Suffix F Range Rover, supplied new to South Africa. The car has never been welded, the body and undercarriage are rust free, and the interior remains as it left the factory with little wear or damage apart from the driver’s seat bolster. The factory-supplied radio is still in place, as is the car’s jack and manual crank tool. The vehicle also benefits from air conditioning and a full new steel exhaust.

Although now responsible for a whole lifestyle movement, the Range Rover had more humble beginnings.

The first generation Range Rover was produced between 1970 and 1996 and not designed as a luxury 4x4; whilst certainly up-market compared to preceding Land Rover models, the early Range Rovers had fairly basic, utilitarian interiors with vinyl seats and plastic dashboards that were designed to be washed down with a hose.

Convenience features such as power assisted steering, carpeted floors, air conditioning, cloth or leather seats and wooden interior trim were fitted later in the production run or as options.

Marketed as 'A Car For All Reasons', the Range Rover was more capable off-road than the Land Rover but was much more comfortable, offering a top speed in excess of 100mph.

We are informed that this wonderfully original and unmolested late seventies Suffix F Range Rover supplied new to South Africa has never been welded and the body condition and undercarriage are rust free.
