There was always scope for the production of a vehicle that combined the no-nonsense Land Rover's off-road prowess with a greater degree of on-road chic and comfort. Though various plans were mooted in the 1950s, it was the emergence of the American SUV a decade later that finally convinced Rover to create such a model. Spen King famously oversaw the '100 inch Station Wagon' project that was finally revealed as the Range Rover in 1970. The David Bache-penned newcomer was powered by the ubiquitous Rover V8 which was connected to a permanent four-wheel drive system for optimum traction. The sale example is finished in Bronze matched to a cloth interior and was supplied new by Lex Landrover of Knutsford. Having had just 5 previous keepers and only covering 58,100 miles from new this smart looking example is offered with its original book pack with handbooks plus service book and a collection of invoices, old MOT certificates and original sales brochure. At some stage it has been fitted with a bespoke drinks cabinet in the boot and is currently described by the vendor as 'Very Good' with regards to the interior, engine, paintwork plus gearbox and is offered with an MOT certificate into October 2018.
