Range Rover Classic

I have a friend who is trying to get me a three door down Oxford way, a long way from Anglesey, but it might be worth it for a running chassis.

seen a not to bad looking 2door on e,blag yesterday , sure it was in liverpool.......

Had an E mail earlier it went for scrap, engine seized.

Andy.

Ive got a 95 EFI 3.9 i use as a runabout and apart from the 15MPG i love it,
Even at 95 with 103k on it i dread to think what ive spent on it, that pic is an old one as it now has bullbars, sump and diff guards ant my sig pic was its first owners.,
Spent all day yesterday fitting new shocks allround and a rear mudflap bracket.
New Eas springs, bigwheels and a body lift next.

My friend likes Range Rovers he has four of them one a 2 door, and one he's not seen in a while, me now if I only had the space.

Sounds truly outstanding, dread to think what that cost but woth it for the grin factor alone I guess.

Love my Classic !!!

I always try parking mine next to the post 96 cars, as the Classic shape is still nicer as the last picture shows so well.

Andy.

Your right. Tomcat. The Classic is the best shape.
PLus why did they name the later model after a David's Isopon product?
P38 is a body filler not a car. lol

I was looking at a P38 earlier I would not have said no if offered it was absolutely lovely and well kept, a credit to her type even.

Andy.

In my house the jury is out on anything other than a Classic, we started off awith a 2 door V8 that became a diesel after doing 240,000 miles on the V8, we then went to a B reg 4 door V8, then an E reg ex old bill V8, then an L reg Vogue SE V8.

But our tug for the last 4 years is a 94 M reg Soft Dash 300 TDI auto. Haven't made my mind up on the P38 as yet.

Thanks mate. Lotsa lotsa smiles when I'm driving it. Love to take all the credit but it was the R&D vehicle for BBM Offroad (BBM = Big Balls Motorsports ) used to develop a 4" lift kit for the classic.

Spent more than I shoulve..., but nowhere near what it cost.

It is being used in anger but I also want to keep it looking nice so will spend the money when necessary to fix it up when it gets broken.

I've posted some of the build pics in the members gallery if you are interested. Cheers.
