Over $80k invested in this Rover, including >$50k spent with Congleton Service in Vermont (the premier Range Rover restoration shop). This is a 1995 Range Rover Classic 25th Anniversary edition, of which 250 were sold, all in Aspen Silver with Black interior. Mine also has what is probably the only TWR kit for a LWB Range Rover in the US, and also has the relatively rare Range Rover factory roof rack. Clean title. No rust.
Highlights of the work performed by Taylor Congleton (<10k miles since work was done):
- New 5.0L high performance engine (based on a Rover V8); usable power throughout the range and noticeably quicker than stock
- Revised ECU tuned to go with new engine
- Customized Congleton Racing aluminum radiator (hugely beefy), oil cooler, and transmission cooler
- New engine mounts
- New ZF transmission
- Remanufactured transfer box
- Installed Roverville remanufactured radio
- Overhaul EAS (air suspension) system, with new airbags and components
- Overhaul steering / suspension bushings
- Oil pump
- NRP stainless steel exhaust
- Waxoyl and hardwax applied to underbody
- New heated windshield
- New headliner
- New Trucklite 27270 LED headlights (huge upgrade in performance at night)
- Dynamat in key areas to reduce sound/heat, including bulkhead and drivetrain tunnel and doors
- Various hoses/parts replaced with new as well
- Some cosmetic things, such as front grille and other trim
Other work that I can remember (I have full service records from my ownership):
- Regular oil changes every 3,000 miles or 6 months
- All regular maintenance / fluids
- Tires have 10k miles (Michelin LTX MS2, so they'll last forever)
- Wheels were re-powdercoated in the silver finish
- All wood refinished by Madera Concepts
- Probably a lot more
- Battery plug for a CTEC battery tender installed
- Recently repainted front and rear bumper to get rid of rock chips
Considerations / issues:
- Cruise control and heated seats do not work
- Window adjustments do not work, but seat adjustments work
