Description

This classic car is for sale on Catawiki. To have more information or to place a bid click on the "BID NOW" button. .With its undeniable off-road capabilities and aristocratic elegance, the angular British Range Rover is the Rolls-Royce of the mud. It exudes self confidence, which is completely undeserved. A vintage Range Rover is complex, poorly built and unreliable. And still you want one. Of course. It's all worth it. This stunning 1975 2-door Range Rover is a design statement, a philosophy of life, a declaration of independence and a testament to good taste. It has been well cared for over the years, so it is still full of character and has hardly any whims.

Mechanically the car is in good condition. It starts fine, the oil pressure is good and the gearbox shifts smoothly.
Rust is a notorious problem with vintage Range Rovers - they rust from the inside because moisture gets in from everywhere - but in this case, the foundation is good and the cosmetic imperfections are perfectly manageable and repairable.
The gearbox isn’t silent, but a car from 1975 rarely is.
There’s a little crack in the windshield. This has remained stable for years but an extra windshield will be included in case the crack gets worse.

In short: a British beast that is quickly becoming rare, unrestored, original paintwork, 2-door version and in robust condition.
This vintage vehicle is exempt from road tax (in the Netherlands) and is allowed on the road 12 months a year. It is eligible for classic car insurance of about €120 per year (in the Netherlands). The odometer reads 88000 and increases slowly due to sporadic use.
A special opportunity!
