  • Highly desirable two-door model of the ground-breaking “classic” Range Rover
  • Finished in Lincoln Green and equipped with a manual gearbox
  • Good condition shows evidence of restoration

Unveiled to the world in 1970, the legendary Range Rover was the culmination of the Rover Company’s aim to combine the off-road capabilities of the Land Rover with the comfort of a road car—a vision that had started in the 1950s with the Road Rover prototype.

When the first production Range Rover made its way into public hands in the summer of 1970, it was a truly impressive package featuring permanent four-wheel drive, a durable interior with a hint of luxury, coil-sprung comfort, and a 3.5-litre V-8 engine that could propel the vehicle to 97 km/h in under 13 seconds with a top speed of 164 km/h.

Chassis number 35827686D was produced in 1976 and is an early example of a “Suffix D” model—an evolution that featured a number of mostly cosmetic changes to the specification. Finished in Lincoln Green with a leather interior, this example is a highly desirable two-door model that was delivered new to Sweden. Offered from long-term ownership, the car has remained with the consigning owner for approaching two decades. At the time of cataloguing, the odometer read 81,244 kilometres.

The good condition of this Range Rover shows evidence of restoration work, said to have been completed by Auto Classica, Sweden between 2020 and 2022. The consigning owner states that the car received a full respray and retrim, in addition to a carburettor rebuild, major service, and replacement of the fuel tank and fuel lines.

Dévoilé en 1970, le légendaire Range Rover constituait pour la marque Rover l'aboutissement de son objectif de combiner les capacités tout-terrain du Land Rover et le confort d'une berline de tourisme — une ambition qui était née dans les années 50 avec le prototype Road Rover.

Quand le premier Range Rover de série est arrivé entre les mains du public en été 1970, il affichait des spécifications très impressionnantes avec une transmission 4x4 permanente, un intérieur robuste non dénué de luxe, une suspension à ressorts hélicoïdaux pour le confort et un moteur V8 de 3,5 litres capable de faire accélérer la voiture jusqu'à 97 km/h en moins de 13 s, avec une vitesse de pointe de 164 km/h.

Cette voiture portant le numéro de châssis 35827686D est sortie d'usine en 1976 et fait partie des premiers exemplaires à "suffixe D" — une évolution qui bénéficiait de modifications principalement cosmétiques. De couleur "Lincoln Green" avec sellerie en cuir, il s'agit d'un modèle deux portes extrêmement désirable, qui a été livré neuf en Suède et qui appartient à son propriétaire actuel depuis presque 20 ans. Au moment de rédiger ce catalogue, le compteur affichait 81 244 km.

Le bon état de ce Range Rover montre l'évidence de travaux de restauration, qui auraient été effectués par Auto Classica, en Suède, entre 2020 et 2022. Le propriétaire précise que cette voiture a fait l'objet d'une peinture complète et d'une réfection de sellerie, en plus d'une reconstruction de carburateur, d'une révision complète et du remplacement du réservoir d'essence et des conduites de carburant.
