'93 Range Rover Classic - beast!

[turbolucie]

The OH has treated himself and bought a 3.9 V8 Range Rover Classic in Beluga black with chocolate leather. He's always wanted one and trawled eBay for months. He's ironed out a few problems with it and it runs sublimely - it's been a godsend in the snow. A perfect wafting machine

like that a lot

Brilliant things. Still look good too, not really that dated. On the outside at least. Brave to buy one though with petrol prices going up and up...

She likes a drink to say the least!! He originally wanted one with LPG as a pub car but he's ended up with no LPG and seems to be driving it everywhere...

Lovely machine.

[Shaw Tarse]

Very nice
RR Classic is on my list of cars to own before I die.

[martin mrt]

That's lovely, I need to own one of these within the next few years

Petrol prices put me off a little though, but not enough

Love it, had a M reg model (last of the line), did 300k miles before the cylinder liners went. I miss that car would not choose to have a new one over a Disco but the old Range Rover felt just right.

Great vehicle.... I had one of these, best thing there is for the mud. You will have great fun.

This was my old beast.... It started off like yours, a nice looking well kept classic, then I found mud days and went to work.....

Enjoy...

I assume it's a 3.9.
When the fun of the V8 wears off and weather warms up you might find ecomony improves. Driven carefully I ued to get 26mpg out of my D reg 3.5 EFi Vogue. Better then what my current 3.5 carb'd will do !

Love it - that's exactly the spec I am after.

Give me a shout when you sell it

26MPG from an old ancient V8!!!- that's not far off the 33MPG urban i got from 1.0 litre Nissan Micras- 4 of them!
You not Derren Brown or David Blaine are you?-(mind you even they couldn't pull of a piece of trickery like that!)

Me too- looks brilliant.

[Adz The Rat]

Very very nice.

[Disco You]

Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.

[turbolucie]

Thanks for your comments
I can't see him selling it anytime soon - he's got an aversion to selling his cars - he's had this garage queen for nearly ten years (another black beast!)

Another tasty looking motor above- love those wheels.

Thanks - its on these Rondells now though - sorry for the poor angle of the photo. I've not driven it but I'd never been scared in a car before I went in this(and I've been in a lot of new fast/super cars) but this is something else. Just feels like raw untamed power.

Rondells suit Cossies down to the ground, very nice.
