Hello there. and welcome to our auction for this left hand drive Range Rover Classic. We started to re-commission this for a customer after several years in storage: it has covered just 71875km (44661 miles) from new. and he was the third owner. After rapidly running up a considerable bill. we have sold him a Td5 disco and have taken it in part-exchange. As a 1978 car. she has many now-desirable features: exposed bonnet hinges. early style fuel filler. early dash and transfer lever location etc. With these earlier three-door classics starting to command increasingly high premiums. this will represent extremely good value for the prospective purchaser. It is in very good structural order: all the usual corrosion spots (sills. boot floor. rear body mounts and wheel arches) are in excellent order. It has had one small repair to the leading edge of the near side sill. and has a very small hole on the base of the off side b-post: that is it!! Originally purchased in Luxembourg in 1978. it was exported to France and registered there in 1983. where it has spent all it's life in the sunny South of France: the drier climate and lack of salt on the roads has proved very kind to the structure of the vehicle. The paintwork has suffered however. with the lacquer now peeling on the bonnet. tops of wings and roof. It will need a respray at some point to do it justice. but is very useable as is. Previous work carried out by the customer included the blasting and re-painting of the original rostyle rims: and NEW Michelin O/R tyres were fitted.   Work since carried out by ourselves includes: fuel lines cleaned through. fuel tank drained and flushed. new tank sender unit and electric fuel pump fitted. A full ignition service has been done: new distributor cap. HT leads. rotor arm and condenser. and a new set of plugs has been fitted. along with a new battery. We have fitted a new exhaust. changed the engine oil. and freed off the brakes as necessary: she now pulls up well. and the handbrake is functioning as it should. The 3. 5 liter V8 now starts on the button with a little choke. soon sets down to that familiar and delightful burble. She drives well for her thirty-six years of age. could perhaps benefit from the odd bush  being replaced. but all in all makes for a very pleasant experience. I will take and upload some better photos in the next few days. The upper tailgate is good and solid. the lower tailgate is rotten and will need replacing. This Range Rover is currently located at our premises in Normandy: the final bid price includes delivery to the UK. where it can been collected from Essex. Portsmouth. or anywhere en route between the two. We have the French Carte Grise. and the relevant cession du vehicle to enable the vehicle to be registered anywhere. Very desirable in Left hand drive. we would be happy to export anywhere once paid for: should you require any additional information or specific images please do not hesitate to contact us. Thanks for your interest. Kind regards. Adam. 07544 530998.

Thanks for all the interest. Currently 638 views and 138 watchers! I now have a large amount of photos. and a video tour of the car with engine running. and would be delighted to forward them on to any prospective bidder: please feel free to contact me. I have also taken the time to go through the bits that came with the car and can now confirm the following: the door cards are present and have now been refitted. The original air box intake pipe work is present and correct. the rear interior panel trims ( as if there were rear doors) are currently missing. with efforts being made to relocate them. In response to the many questions. I can confirm there is absolutely no corrosion whatsoever in the mud/water trap where the front wings 'disappear' into the scuttle. The boot floor is immaculate. the spare wheel well is good. and there is only some light bubbling around the fuel filler neck inside the offside rear quarter: nothing by Range Rover Classic standards! Thanks for your continued interest and happy bidding! Kind regards. Adam. 07544 530992
