What's the mileage of your Range Rover Classic?

There's a separate poll for the other Range Rover models.

1.632km = 1 mile. So divide km's by 1.632 to get miles.

Andres's asked me to do this ere poll fer yers. :D

Poll edited to allow yer to change yer votes and to have multiple votes for them's who have several Range Rover classic's

The wife's soft dash classic is over 200000 miles and still going well.
It has had a 3.5 slt fitted to replace the V8 but the gearbox and axles are the same.
:welcome2:
 
130,000 miles on my RRC 3.9 V8 softdash running on LPG for the last 10 years. Gearbox is really smooth and sweet, engine is good too, front diff looks to have been replaced but rear is original. Should reach 200k without any serious work I hope!
 
40823

Nearly snuck into the 'under 40,000' group, but I've been using it lately.

How come the low mileage?

It was parked up for ten years before I got hold of it.

'85 4door RRC, 3.5 v8, carbs, springs. All origional and running well.

I have voted but I don't own it anymore. I did know its 2 previous owners so the mileage was accurate. It had a Perkins 4236 fitted at 20k which covered a further 350k before I rebuilt the engine with new pistons, liners, crank etc. Then like a muppet I sold it.

A 3.9 V8 LSE? Do they not have the 4.2 in the LSE's down under?

Forgot to mention in my post - mine has had a new gearbox, but was fitted by the original owner who seemed to be a real stickler looking through the paperwork!!

That is right Mike. There was no 4.2 for us.......sadly. I believe we were denied the 4.2 due to our emission regulations which the 4.2 couldn't meet.

Our Rangies went from 3.5 to 3.9 in the Classics and then to the 4.0 and 4.6 in the P38.

The 3.9 seems to handle the conditions here ok and is good in relation to economy - or should that be fuel consumption. Power wise I am happy enough remembering of course I have nothing to compare it to but I always wondered just how much of a difference a 4.2 would have made.

I think the 4.2's were a little quicker and produced 200bhp (vs 185bhp) which I am sure would be noticeable - but only when you have your foot to the floor! They're not really designed to be driven like that, of course. I would guess they would be better for towing, though?
 
I really don't know about the towing side of things Mike because as a general rule I don't tow except for a 6 x 4 box trailer to the local rubbish dump. Once when relocating my daughter to new house I did tow a huge double axled trailer with a walk in type metal box covering on it loaded with furniture on some very knarly bitumen mountain roads and the LSE handled it quite well.

I tend to drive my Rangie fairly moderately but every now and then just to make it work a bit and blow out the cobwebs so to speak I put and leave the shifter in 3 and drive it [on bitumen roads through mountains] to the local shopping centre. A trip of some 100 kms - say about 63 miles. That brings to the fore the performance and handling available in a Classic. I still have the air suspension too [basically trouble free] and will never get rid of it.

A bit like mine, 20k in 12 months with the first owner (business user) but the second took 20 years to cover the same mileage! It's my second car & still only has 46k on the clock. '87 3.5efi auto & like yours original except for the late style (6 slot) front spoiler as the original (plain edge) version was no longer available when I needed to change it.

I was talking to the guy who sold me mine and he said I had put more miles on it in one year than he had in five years. 30,000 or so.

Plus, he said that if I ever choose to sell it, he wants to buy it back!:D
