Description

Unrestored original 1989 Range Rover Classic Series, County Edition. This is a solid, California rust-free Short wheelbase model since sold new in Southern California, with the desirable EXPEDITION Level IV configuration. Runs and drives well for a vintage Classic SWB.

The iconic andultra-classic Range Rover. Unexpected expenses from wife's pregnancy force reluctant sale.

23K odometer miles, which I believe to be 123K. An unusual Range Rover, reportedly a factory promotional vehicle custom-made in Southern California for LR of Santa Monica, with a factory-made custom Land Rover interior and equipped with full SAFARI PACKAGE Level IV, which includes:* Expedition cargo roof rack* Two twin sets of HELLA 500 auxiliary lights* Wraparound brushguard* Headlight guards* HELLA 3000 off-road lights* HELLA 550 driving lights* Drain-through side steps* WARN frontal recovery winch* DUAL battery set-up* Tailight guards* Tow package* Front and rear differential guards* Heavy-duty alternator* Two spare tires
Factory stock 3.9L engine runs excellent, with plenty of torque. Reportedly a CROWER camshaft and lifter kit was installed in it, along with a valve job and also head-gasket work, but as I do not have invoices to document it, it is sold with stated mileage and condition as noted. Replaced water pump, radiator and some other ancillary items. Stainless steel exhaust.Extensive suspension work done, to include over $2000 in front-end work alone, plus:* New front factory LR heavy-duty springs* Front OME struts* New rear TERRAFIRMA HD springs* New rear BILSTEIN struts
RUST FREE chassis, floorboards, doors, door sills, wheelwells, doors, trunk floor, tailgate and rear hatch ( a common problematic area). Original Chamonix white still shines nicely despite being thirty years old! Remnants of pinstriping ( in true 1980s fashion) can be easily removed if desired. Bits of double-sided tape are still seen in some of the wheel arches from aftermarket trim being removed.

Very interesting, unusual SWB Classic, custom-made for the then-operating LR franchise in Santa Monica ( Homburg Land Rover), in Rhino-hide type upholstery with cloth zebra-pattern insets. The seats are actually upholstered; they are NOT seat covers. In addition, door insets were also made as pictured. New headliner and dome lights. Original carpeting and door panels otherwise. Unusual factory-installed battery cut-off in front dash, along with a cigarette-lighter delete, and dual flip-down cup holders.

This rare, super Classic unrestored Range Rover would make an excellent base for a concours restoration, an overlander or just drive it as it is. Gets tons of looks and turns heads even from $120K Range Rover drivers!

Unlike the vast majority of sellers who advertise what they do not know ( let alone some sketchy car dealer!), I am a lifelong Land Rover enthusiast and still own four others ( a 2010 Supercharged, a 1996 Discovery I overlander, a 1987 Range Rover Classic SWB, and a 1966 109).

I have owned Land Rovers my whole life, various models and vintages, and know all their quirks well.

My reputation and feedback speak for themselves.Why buy from a source of questionable or minimal feedback ( usually it's for a reason), some shady car dealer type that knows nothing about these cars, or some equally questionable seller overseas ?

This Landy is home in sunny California, awaiting love and restoration by a new LR enthusiast.

Feel free to contact me with questions or serious inquiries (650) 430-4660 NLT 9 pm PST, please. Thank you for viewing.
