The Appeal

By the time the 90s had rolled around, the Range Rover had really come into its own as a higher-spec, high-standing off-roader for the well-to-do. The revised styling and plusher trim cemented its market share without imposing on its Land Rover siblings, and quickly became the 4x4 of choice for the metropolitan family. In many ways, it's the Range Rover that popularised the love of SUVs and Crossovers in the modern day.

This example comes to us with a whole host of upgrades and mechanical work completed in recent years, and a very desirable colour scheme of Trocadero Red on Westminster Grey. A good example of these is becoming increasingly rare, and this one is sure to stand out for anybody looking for exactly that.

Everything from the top-end engine overhaul, new all-terrain shocks and the fitting of a 4-barrel Edelbrock carb and performance manifold make for a more potent, reliable car - without breaking those winning lines. Offered with plenty of time still left on its MOT, this off-roader is just the ticket for a versatile modern classic.
