Addendum

Please note that contrary to the printed catalogue description, this Range Rover is not Fitted with a Brooklands body kit.

When thinking of Range Rover today, most enthusiasts immediately picture a luxurious, high-end vehicle more at home on the M25 than in the country. Contrary to this perception, Series 1 Range Rovers like the example offered here were built as utilitarian vehicles, albeit with a higher level of comfort than its sister marque Land Rover. Featuring somewhat spartan interiors designed to be easily cleaned, the Range Rover inspired a strong brand following almost immediately from its introduction in 1970, a following which has survived four design iterations, tens of thousands of vehicles produced and countless miles driven.

Though many of the Series 1 Range Rovers were utilitarian in nature, the example offered here is without question a top-of-the-line automobile by anyone’s measure. Having been the subject of a recent comprehensive restoration in which no expense was spared, this Series 1 Range Rover is fitted with its original Dark Tan leather upholstery, thick bespoke Wilton wool overmats, highly figured wood veneered interior surfaces, and an upgraded stereo system.

In addition to its cosmetic excellence, this Range Rover is in fine mechanical fettle. The 200-bhp 4.2-litre engine, gearbox, differentials and Electric Air Suspension system all function according to specification. Having been recently serviced, this stunning automobile is ready for any challenge the world can throw at it, from morning coffee runs to traversing the muddy farm fields.

With fewer than 63,300 miles on the odometer at cataloguing, the Range Rover offered here is arguably one of the finest extant examples of the first vehicle to wear the storied Range Rover nameplate.
