Description

Range Rover Classic V8 from 1983, in lovely overall condition.

V8 3.5L low compression, carburettor.

This is not a competition vehicle but a vehicle that drives about 1000 km per month, city + motorway, without any problems.

List of work done this year:

- front / rear / steering shock absorbers
- clutch (disc + transmitter / receiver)
- starter
- coil
- windshield washer pump
- rear body silent blocks
- brakes (pads)
- 5 tyres
- rear bumper
- all lights switched to LED
- headlamps (inserts)
- new rear driveshaft
- gearbox control unit
- clutch + transmitter + receiver + engine spinnaker seal
- refurbishment of the seats + carpeting
- repair of the cubby box
- LED dashboard lighting
- disassembly of the body panels / verification / preventive treatment of very light spots of rust
- petrol tank
- new petrol gauge
- Edelbrock carburettor
- draining and replacement of all fluids (axle, gearbox, transfer box (4WD)
- oil temperature probe
- headliner
- LED courtesy light + circuit + timer revised
- exhaust (excluding the engine manifolds, rusty but in good condition)

This vehicle, although well maintained, is not fully restored, it is in used condition.

However, the chassis is particularly sound (2/3 areas of surface rust), the bodywork has some minor dings, the paintwork is clean but not perfect and some aluminium panels are damaged on the edges but honestly, nothing serious for a car of this age.

Please note: 4-speed gearbox, low compression Rover V8 (more torque on low rpms).

For information, here are the future works to be done in order to have a very lovely car:
- some window seals to be replaced
- scratch on the left rear window
- unclogging / replacement of rear windscreen washer hose
- improving the opening/closing of the tailgate (it closes, it opens, but it needs a bit of help...)
- reconnecting the central diff lock (it works, but it was not reconnected when the clutch was replaced)
- temperamental odometer (it stopped working when the clutch was replaced... and sporadically starts working again).This Classic Car is for sale on Catawiki. To have more information or to place a bid click on the "BID NOW" button.
