Picking this beauty up this weekend, Range Rover 1995 3.9 V8 (angel) auto on LPG! (in boot, ok for off road)



Six months MOT and TAX, ex Police, bit battered but solid.

£470

Always wanted a classic so I am well chuffed, I know they can go very wrong but I used to work on these in the mid 90's so am pretty good with them. (still didnt stop me buying this unseen though!)

Happy V8 motoring days to come

£470?! I'd love one of these, and for that price you can't go wrong (althought IT probably will!)

It lives!

Just picked it up from Wales, 230 miles of trouble free motoring. It also had a trailer with car attached to it and still performed well.

Its a bit tired but being ex police its been looked after for at least half its life. It has springs and a handling kit on it (so the guy told me)I must say there in minimal body roll for such a beast!

I loved my 3.9 V8 Vogue SE



Great vehicles, if a little prone to rotting.

Followed it with a P38 which was even better, and even more prone to going wrong!

When I bought the RaRa above, I managed just over 100 miles before the gearbox decided to die on me... wonderful things Rangies!!

"Thomas" our beloved Range Rover rotted from the roof down. A white stylish effect much like the grey beginning on the side of my head. Miss him daily. Was a beast on economy though. Air conditioning on or overtaking? Watch the fuel needle drop.
