The first generation Range Rover was initially not designed as a luxury 4x4; while certainly upmarket compared to the preceding Land Rover models.

The early Range Rovers had fairly basic, utilitarian interiors with vinyl seats and plastic dashboards designed to be washed down with a hose.

Features such as power assisted steering, carpeted floors, air conditioning, cloth/leather seats and wooden interior trim were fitted later.

The Range Rover was a body-on-frame design with a box section ladder type chassis, similar to contemporary Land Rovers.

It utilised coil springs as opposed to leaf springs, permanent four-wheel drive, four-wheel disc brakes and was originally powered by the Rover V8 engine.

This example is presented in fabulous order throughout, it has had just two owners from new, both fastidious in their care of the car and today presents as if restored.

We are assured, however, it is in this condition purely due to the quality of care and ownership.
