Land Rover Range Rover Classic 3.5 V8 1985
General description :
Introduced in 1970 the Range Rover Classic was the first generation Range Rover produced by Land Rover. The first Range Rover came with a 135 Ps (101 kW) version of the Rover V8 petrol engine. Our car also has that lovely 8-cylinder carburettor block. In contrast to the norm with current Range Rovers, this one has a manual 5-speed gearbox. It also is the then top of the range Vogue model. The car was initially registered in Modena in Italy in 1985. Since 2008 it has Dutch papers and remained in the same hands for the last 12 years. As it has never been fully restored it has retained many original features. Thanks to diligent maintenance the car drives and shifts gear well. In 2019 the air-conditioning unit was replaced together with re-shedding its boots. There is a reason why such good care was taken of the mechanics. The previous owner had intended to take the car on a long African rally. Unforeseen circumstances prevented this plan from coming to fruition. The however in the meantime the car had already been prepared to withstand this heavy test of endurance. Apart from some signs of everyday use, the paintwork is neat. The bodywork and chassis are completely rust-free. The interior appears to be splendidly authentic showing the correct amount of patina. Although not earth-shattering at first impression, this Range Rover still possess a nowadays very rare parcel shelf! It comes with extensive documentation including the original Classic Range Rover booklets and an Italian A.S.I. certificate. It also has various luxury items such as air-conditioning and electric windows. This first and best, and by the way only authentic, SUV is ready to go where ever you want.

About Land Rover
The rugged tale of Land Rover, born from the spirit of exploration and inspired by the legendary Jeep. Let's embark on a journey through the history of Land Rover, tracing its evolution and the iconic models that have conquered both off-road terrain and urban landscapes.Act 1: The Birth of Land Rover (1948)
In the aftermath of World War II, Rover saw the need for a versatile, go-anywhere vehicle that could handle the demands of post-war life. Drawing inspiration from the Jeep, Maurice Wilks, Rover's chief designer, and his brother Spencer, Rover's managing director, conceptualized the first Land Rover. Launched in 1948 at the Amsterdam Motor Show, the Series I Land Rover was an instant hit, boasting simplicity, durability, and unparalleled off-road capabilities.
Act 2: Series Land Rovers (1950s-1970s)
The Series Land Rovers became the backbone of Land Rover's lineup. The Series II in 1958 and Series III in 1971 refined the design and introduced more creature comforts, while preserving the brand's commitment to off-road prowess. These models were workhorses on farms, military deployments, and adventurous expeditions.
Act 3: Range Rover (1970)
In 1970, Land Rover expanded its horizons with the introduction of the Range Rover. Combining luxury with off-road capabilities, the Range Rover defined a new segment of high-end, go-anywhere vehicles. Its success marked the beginning of Land Rover's transition from utilitarian workhorses to premium off-road vehicles.
Act 4: Discovery and Defender (1980s-1990s)
The 1989 launch of the Land Rover Discovery marked the brand's foray into family-oriented SUVs, blending off-road prowess with on-road comfort. Meanwhile, the iconic Land Rover Defender, the spiritual successor to the original Series Land Rovers, continued to capture the hearts of enthusiasts with its rugged design and unyielding capabilities.
