Range Rover Vogue 3.5 EFI - 1987

For Sale: From a deceased estate; recently recommissioned following 12 years in storage; clean MOT; good running order; paintwork requires attention

First registered in Birmingham in April 1987, this Range Rover Vogue has the 3.5 V8 fuel-injected petrol engine and is finished in British Racing Green with a grey velour interior.

On offer here from a deceased estate, it comes with very little history other than some invoices for what looks like a repaint in 1995 when it was owned by a Mr G Williamson of Birmingham (hence the private plate GIW 7498; the original plate was D443 POV).

There are 19 old tax discs which show that it was in use from 1992 – 2010 and it seems from the MOT history online that it was then put into storage for a dozen years (2010 – 2022) during which time the odometer got stuck on 25,605 miles so the true mileage isn’t known.

In October last year the owner’s widow had the Range Rover recommissioned by Beeches Garage of Coleford which included cleaning out the fuel tank, fitting a new filter and fuel pump, fitting a new battery and having the chassis cleaned and Schutz treated. It then sailed through its MOT with no advisories recorded – in fact it has had very few advisories since 2005 at which point it was showing 17,820 miles.

We are told that it runs and drives well and it has certainly been starting promptly and running nicely as we have moved it around on site.

As you can see in the photos, the cloth interior looks clean and tidy apart from a split on the driver's seat squab and the underside looks reassuringly solid. What lets the side down is the paintwork which is micro-blistered all over and the chrome on the front and rear bumpers which has rust bubbles here and there.

This is a perfect project car. 

On offer here at No Reserve, this Range Rover Classic seems eminently usable as it is and could be smartened up over time as desired.
