1973 Land Rover

Furlonger are pleased to offer this exceptionally well-presented Land Rover Range Rover Suffix-B with a mere 15,501 miles finished in the highly desirable shade of Lincoln Green over a Biege interior. This example was delivered new via British Leyland Concessionaire Walder & MacCreadie LTD in February 1973 to a Mr Swaisland of Maidstone, Kent. As per its original Rover Passport (service handbook) the Range Rover received its first PDI on 14/02/1973 at 36 miles, and its first service just a year later at 1,642 miles.

As confirmed by the car’s British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis no. 355-05347-B was originally configured in Davos White. In 2011 the vehicle’s owner decided to colour change the vehicle to Lincoln Green, a shade widely regarded by enthusiasts as the best suited to this generation of Range Rover.

Changing hands between likeminded keepers throughout its life, this Range Rover has been used sparingly and maintained to the highest standards, with recent restorative works conducted to its cosmetics and mechanical components. The car’s 3.5L V8 engine was comprehensively reconditioned via marque specialists Churchill 4x4 LTD in 2020 at 14,860 miles. Today, the car’s astounding condition both cosmetically and mechanically give the impression of a Range Rover that has just left the factory; a testament to the careful ownership and expense that the car has received.

This Range Rover recently formed part of one of the most prestigious collections in the world, sitting alongside historic Le Mans cars, contemporary supercars, and other extraordinarily rare vehicles. Remaining in this collection since 2020, the car has been meticulously stored to ensure that it remains in the very finest condition possible.

Now offered for sale, this Range Rover Suffix-B is likely one of the finest examples in the world today. Showing just 15,500 miles and presented in remarkable order throughout, this example would make a fitting addition to the very best of collections. The Range Rover is accompanied by a well-documented recent history with original service book, manual, invoices, receipts and spare keys. The car will receive a service via our workshops within the sale.
