Not mine - but, my mate's -
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142891657507
He's had it for the past 12 years, and done lots of mods. to it.
It's a well sorted vehicle that's ready to off-road.
Here's his description -
Please don’t think that this is just another rusty old Range Rover that’s been turned into an off roader to be abused until it finally gives up the ghost. I bought this RR back in 2006 in rust free condition with the intention of turning it into an off roader which I would keep and use long term. Yes, it’s been used off road, it has a few scars to prove it, but it’s been very well maintained and is still virtually rust free and completely solid with no structural damage. I’m only selling her on because she’s just not getting much use since the closure of our local pay & play site a few years ago.
I’ll endeavour to be as honest as I can in this listing and give as much detail as I can but please feel free to contact me to arrange a viewing before you bid.
As I have said this RR is virtually rust free. There is no rust in any of the usual places, rear boot floor, rear arches around the door locks etc. and the top tailgate is solid and shuts as it should. There’s not even any sagging in the headlining.
The front axle was refurbished less than 1000 miles ago with new swivels, bearings, CV joints, brake discs and pads. I’ve recently changed the oil & filter and the fuel filter, I’ve also fitted a new fuel pump and replaced the starter battery for one with a 4 year guarantee.I have lots of receipts and old M.O.T.s.

Modifications:
Tyres:
235/85 R16 Insa Turbo Special Tracks.
Suspension:
2 inch lift, springs and shocks.
Dislocation cones front and rear.
Tubular front turrets.
Extended, braided brake hoses.
Polybushed all round.
Front radius arm bushes replaced with offset ones to compensate for the lift which allows the use of the original, very strong, forged arms.
Cranked rear trailing arms.
Anti-roll bars and self-levelling strut removed.
Heavy duty steering bar.
Bodywork:
2 inch body lift using aluminium and nylon spacers.
Seatbelt mounts raised by 2 inches using proper mount extenders.
Radiator mounts raised by 2 inches.
Transfer lever extended by 2 inches.
Wheel arches trimmed to accommodate larger tyres. All cuts treated and sealed before edge protectors added all of which has prevented any corrosion.
Heavy duty rear bumper.
Heavy duty front winch bumper with “A” bar and 12,000lb winch.
Lower wings and doors protected by hand cut chequer plate.
Fuel filler flap and rear light side protectors (prevents them being ripped off by branches).
Front sidelight/indicator units replaced with NAS lights on custom made mounts.
Door mirrors replaced with Defender items for better rearward visibility.
Snorkel.
Bonnet pins.
Lockable high lift jack mounts on tailgate.
Chassis/Drivetrain:
Double cardan front propshaft.
Front and rear diff guards.
Front steering guard
Southdown fuel tank guard with detachable recovery eye & drop plate for towing.
Axle and gearbox breathers extended into a manifold and then up to the snorkel.
Anti-lock brakes replaced with conventional air over hydraulic system (better for off road, cheaper to repair & more reliable).
Hand throttle control for use when winching/giving a jump start.
Electrical:
Twin batteries with self jump start facility.
Twin alternators, one for each battery.
Twin dash mounted voltmeters, one for each battery.
Two dash mounted “comfort sockets” for use with C-tek chargers.
Twin Kenlowe fans with two stage thermostatic switch, manual over ride & “kill” switch for wading.
Blluetooth hands free kit
Roof light bar with 4 Hella lamps.
Rear work lights.
Interior:
Full heavy duty waterproof seat covers throughout.
All carpets removed and floors treated with bed liner for easy cleaning.
Front and rear rubber mats.
Lashing rails in boot.
Large storage locker in boot.
Additional boot mounted power sockets, one standard “lighter” socket and one din type.
The not so good bits:
There are, as mentioned earlier, a few dents and scrapes as you would expect on a vehicle which has been used off road but nothing too bad (see photos).
The winch has stopped working. It was working fine but when I tested it before putting up this listing it wouldn’t engage. The solenoids still clicks and it will freespool but it won’t winch in or out. It has been unused for a while so it may only need freeing up or it may need a refurb. If I can find the time I’ll look at this before the auction ends.
The connector on one side of the heated rear screen has become detached from the screen so this is now not working.
The near side rear electric window hasn’t worked since I got the car and I’ve never got around to sorting it out.
The central locking doesn’t work on the rear doors but it’s never bothered me as I don’t usually have passengers.
