*Range Rover Classic 3.5 V8 – A Timeless Icon, More Popular Than Ever*
Some cars define an era. The Range Rover Classic 3.5 V8 is one of those cars. The very first luxury off-roader, a true pioneer in its class. It was the car that could do it all: cruise aristocratically through London and power effortlessly through the Scottish Highlands.

And now, over forty years later, here is an example that may look even better than when it left the factory in 1980. This is a fully body-off restored and mechanically overhauled car, rebuilt exactly as Land Rover originally intended. A car in absolute great condition, and thus a true rarity.

*In Stunning Condition – Restored the Right Way*
This example, an original European-delivered Range Rover Classic from 1980, has undergone an impressively thorough restoration. Every element has been rebuilt, repainted, reupholstered, and revised.

- Fully restored – This Range Rover looks just as it did when delivered new in 1980, with perfect and precise panel fitment and all the correct details.
- Rebuilt to original factory specifications.
- Paint color: Sahara Dust – a stunning and authentic color, preserved in excellent condition.
- Interior: Palomino Beige Velour – the original, elegant, and comfortable upholstery, completely renewed.
- Technically overhauled – The iconic 3.5-liter V8 runs beautifully, the gearbox shifts smoothly, and the clutch operates with light precision.

All this ensures that every detail aligns perfectly with Land Rover’s original vision. A restoration of this caliber is rare and time-consuming, but the result speaks for itself. We invite you to view the photos on our website for a full impression.
This Range Rover comes with a "Heritage Certificate" from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, an official confirmation of this vehicle's authenticity and history.

*The History of the Range Rover*
In 1970, Land Rover revolutionized the automotive world with the introduction of the Range Rover. Up until then, off-road vehicles were purely functional—robust, but rudimentary. Land Rover had a different vision: why not build a vehicle that’s equally capable both off-road and on the road? The result was revolutionary.

The Range Rover Classic combined serious off-road capabilities with the comfort and luxury of a high-end sedan. Four-wheel drive, coil spring suspension, and a powerful V8 engine, all wrapped in a timeless design. This was the first SUV avant la lettre—a vehicle that dominated both the mud and the boulevard.
While the first-generation Range Rover was initially designed for hunters, farmers, and outdoor enthusiasts, it quickly became a favorite among aristocrats, celebrities, and the elite. This was the vehicle seen both on the driveways of English country estates and competing in the toughest rallies in the world, such as the infamous Paris-Dakar.

*The Ultimate Blend of Luxury and Off-Road Capability*
What makes the Range Rover Classic so special is its dual personality. This is a vehicle that glides through city streets with grace and elegance, yet feels equally at home on a muddy forest path or a mountain trail. It is timeless and incredibly versatile. This is the car that effortlessly climbs a gravel path and then arrives in style at the most exclusive restaurant in town.
