About this car

An early four-door Range Rover from 1983, powered by the 3.5-litre Rover V8 with a three-speed automatic gearbox. Four-door Classics from this period are far scarcer than the original two-door cars still being found in good order, and this one is finished in white.

It shows 50,150 miles, which the dealer says is supported by almost every MOT since new. The page describes a single owner from 1985 to 2024, kept garaged in North Wales, followed by one further keeper in Scotland. The interior is reported to be highly original.

The dealer has replaced all fluids and serviceable items, fitted new tyres and inner tubes, new boot struts and trims, and refurbished the wheels. A JLR Classic letter confirming its origin comes with it. At over 40 years old it is exempt from road tax and MOT.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Land Rover published engine data for the 1981-85 carburettor Rover V8 (9.35:1 compression, 125 bhp). Weight, top speed and 0-60 left null because I couldn't confirm the factory figures for 1983.).

Engine: 3,528 cc, 8 cylinders
Engine position: Front-engined
Induction: Naturally aspirated

Land Rover Range Rover buying guide

The Range Rover is Land Rover's flagship luxury 4x4. It combines a high, commanding driving position and a quiet, well-finished cabin with genuine off-road ability. Most cars on sale in the UK are the fifth-generation L460, launched in 2022, which buyers choose for its comfort over long distances, its towing ability and a range of diesel, petrol V8 and plug-in hybrid versions.
