I'd have it. In fact I've had two a lot like it. If you're gentlish with the right foot they don't cost much to run. Find an enthusiastic local LR garage and Bob's your uncle.

Cheers,

That looks great! Isn't it the same one posted a few days ago with low suspension?

lovely...

Electrics will be suspect but easy to DIY on the earlier models.

Your biggest enemy is rust on these things. Check the sills, boot floor, wheel arches, rain gutter, sunroof, wings...

Actually just assume something is begging to rust and budget an hour or two welding labour.

No, I think that one was in sunny Ireland.

Just spoken to the dealer - he isnt "a range rover man", took it in part ex. Lots of history, mostly main dealers. They just MOT'd it and it and they have put a new exhaust on.

May go and have a gander...

I love the colour combo, IF I had a spare couple of grand I'd be very interested. I always tend to float back to these RR's when scouring the classifieds, lurvely motors.


Makes you wonder why this one seems to be attracting serious money http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1994-LAND-ROVER-RANGEROVER-L...

LR products aren't money pits, it's just that chassis engines and body shells can be considered service items, in 50 years time with good maintenance that will still be on the road, it may be on its 2nd/3rd engine 6th chassis and 3rd body but it will still be going wink

thats looks excellent although photos can be deceptive.
If its clean and rust free (mainly) it has to be worth that, might even go up in value soon.
