1980 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER

Pavilion Gardens | Buxton, Derbyshire 0 - 0 Registration No: VKH 366W Chassis No: LHABV1AA106594 MOT: Exempt � Long term ownership from 1990 � Offered with just 4 former keepers An exciting restoration project The first generation Range Rover was produced between 1970 and 1996. The original car was not designed as a luxury-type 4x4; while certainly up-market compared to preceding Land Rover models, the early Range Rovers had fairly basic, utilitarian interiors with vinyl seats and plastic dashboards designed to be washed down with a hose. Features such as power assisted steering, carpeted floors, cloth/leather seats, and wooden interior trim were fitted later. The Range Rover was a body-on-frame design with a box section ladder type chassis similar to contemporary Land Rovers. The Range Rover utilised coil springs as opposed to leaf springs, permanent four-wheel drive and four-wheel disc brakes and was originally powered by the Rover V8 engine. First registered on 1 October 1980 under the now retained registration mark �HST 7� this very original example has been off the road for the past twenty years following the passing of the late owner who was also the vendor�s father. Subject of an engine swap where a Perkins diesel was installed, VKH 366W will require restoration and is being offered strictly as viewed. An exciting project with just four former keepers.
