Description
1981 Range Rover “in vogue”
Rare limited model of 2 door Range Rover which was produced off the back of a fashion article in Vogue magazine.
I believe that only 1000 were produced 400 of which sold in the UK, making this car probably one of very few survivors.
The In Vogue model featured,
Light blue metallic (Vogue Blue) paint with broad twin coach lines in two-tone grey
High-compression (9. 35:1) engine
Transfer box with taller (0. 996:1) high ratio
Air conditioning
Polished wooden door cappings
Stowage box between front seats
Map pockets on back of front seats
Fully carpeted load area
Carpet material for spare wheel cover and tool kit curtain
Picnic hamper in rear loadspace
Stainless steel tailgate capping
Black centre caps for the wheels
This vehicle retains most of its original defining features minus the central stowage box and picnic hamper.
This vehicle is a project but wouldn’t take much for a capable enthusiast to recommission, it is very solid in all the important areas including footwells, floors, main sills, wheel arches ect.
There are some areas of rust that would require work on the doors and bonnet and a very small patch at the back of each sill but nothing major, it is a remarkably solid example.
The vehicle has a complete set of 3 spoke alloys which where a 1981 factory option
I haven’t tried to start the Range Rover as I simply don’t have the time for it with multiple other projects on the go.
Before an attempted start it would need the timing checking as someone has previously borrowed the distributor however this is now back with the vehicle. And I was assured it ran well prior to the removal of this.
Included are the original set of seats which would need recovering and also a very good set as pictured.
I have some paperwork and old mots dating back to circa 1996.
All in this is a great opportunity to preserve a piece of rare Range Rover history I just simply don’t have the time to do it justice at the moment.
