About this car

This is a 1988 Range Rover Classic with the 3.5-litre fuel-injected V8 and a five-speed manual gearbox, a combination less common than the automatic. It is finished in Ardennes Green over a beige leatherette interior with matching Alcantara headlining.

The page lists 82,250 miles and says the car has had a series of owners, with the most recent buying it in 2020 after a respray and with a solid chassis. Rust on the rear door arches and front inner wings was repaired, and the car was then overhauled with a new exhaust, Pirelli tyres, shocks, springs, bushes, arms and brakes. The seats were recoloured and the underside steamed and protected, and the wheels were refurbished to match the paint.

It has covered only about 200 miles since that work and has been kept in dry storage. The dealer is carrying out further recommissioning, including an oil service, fuel system flush, new water pump, coolant flush and a head gasket set with skimmed heads. It is described as honest and solid rather than concours.

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.
