The Range Rover established a distinctive blend of luxury, practicality and all-terrain ability, becoming equally at home outside a country house or negotiating demanding countryside. In long wheelbase LSE form, its appeal extended further towards chauffeur-driven comfort, with additional rear passenger space complementing the familiar upright styling and commanding driving position. Today, these generously proportioned examples offer a particularly appealing expression of the original Range Rover's character.

Presented in metallic blue, this individual LSE combines its recognisable silhouette with a number of bespoke appointments. The exterior features Overfinch components, including the distinctive front grille, with four prominent auxiliary lamps and alloy wheels. This Range Rover was previously owned by the owner of Leeds Bradford Airport, who commissioned the interior to be retrimmed to match his private jet. Originally an already rare Soft Dash LSE Brooklands edition, only built in the last two years of factory production it included the big front and rear bumpers and extended side sills.

This bespoke treatment reflects the personal requirements of a previous custodian and provides an interesting talking point within the car's history. We are also informed that a large-capacity LPG tank was installed with the intention of allowing extended journeys to the previous owner's Swiss residence with fewer fuel stops. This conversion formed part of a specification tailored towards long-distance travel, combining the LSE's spacious accommodation with an increased touring range.

Now owned by the proprietor of a Jaguar Land Rover garage, cam-tech-Land Rover, the Range Rover is described by the vendor as being in very good mechanical and cosmetic condition. Importantly, it is presented as a usable example retaining an honest, established character, with the vendor emphasising that it has not been over-restored. Our vendor states the EAS is working correctly which is important to him as it makes the ride control much better than the older coil spring examples stating, 'you can also lower it when you get out, which let's be honest is still cool!'. It also has traction control, ABS and even working air conditioning. Accompanied by a substantial history file and recently passed MoT test certificate, this LSE offers an attractive opportunity for an enthusiast seeking a distinctive classic Range Rover to enjoy. Its combination of unusual reported provenance, individually commissioned upholstery and Overfinch detailing gives it an identity of its own. A characterful example of the marque's luxury flagship, it should appeal to those who value individuality, comfort and continued use. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
