Description:

Clean, totally original 1987 Land Rover RANGE ROVER Classic, the very first year of the iconic Rangie in the United States.

If you are a Land Rover aficionado in any degree, you must watch this:

All stock, and all-original Classic. This is an interesting non-sunroof model, with rare cloth upholstery ! NEVER altered, lifted, off-roaded or abused. It has resided in the North Beach district pretty much all of its life until now. It had also spent some time in a family winery up in the Napa valley earlier in its life. It scores an AUTOCHECK report score of 59 out of a 19-56 range!
Completely stock 3.5L engine runs well. No engine noises or visible leaks. 142K original miles, extremely low for any Land Rover ( more than likely because it lived in the Napa winery then around downtown, where traffic is tight and parking is at a premium). No modifications, alterations or deviations from stock condition, other than it having received new springs at some point in its life and new MONROE SensaTrac struts.
Automatic transmission shifts well through the gears. Power disc brakes, Power steering, Power windows and Power seats ( they are finicky and work on and off). This is a fairly rare solid roof model, thus no leaky sunroof issues to contend with. Recent new battery. Nice CD player. It has a set of nearly-new PIRELLI radial tires all the way around. with at least 90% tread remaining. A new pair of original LR mud guards has since been purchased by me, and installed.
This is a straight example of an un-restored Classic Range Rover that looks good despite its vintage. The coachwork is in good condition for its age, with no dents, scratches or any visible damage. Usual parking dings from age. Never in any accidents or reported mishaps.
As a true California vehicle, it is completely 100% rust-free as expected, and solid throughout. Its original Cypress green factory finish still shines very nicely, despite the passing of time.
All doors, panels, hood and trunk line up nicely. There is NO clearcoat fading, flaking or damage to the factory finish on the roof, hood or filler panel areas, common on many Rovers.
Its original ash/gray cloth upholstery is in very good condition and has held up well. The driver's bottom is has one small seam separation as pictured. The headliner is droopy in some areas, as it is its more common ailment on all Range Rovers. I have had a local small upholstery shop inspect it and they would be willing to refinish the complete headliner for $200 total. If desired, I can have that done prior to transport of the Rover; otherwise, it is sold as it sits. Clean original carpeting, door panels and trunk area.
In addition, I also comes with a frontal brushguard available for this Rover. I have it mounted, but as some folks prefer the basic original look of the Classic Range Rover, I can have it removed if desired, or leave it as it is. In addition, I will also include for free a set of brand-new ( no box or harness) HELLA 500 auxiliary foglights ( the GOOD ONES MADE IN GERMANY, NOT THE JUNK MADE IN TAIWAN OR INDIA), as one of the front HELLA 1000s took a pebble on the lens. The lower HELLA 520 driving lights are fine.
This Range rover Classic has a clear California title and has been in regular operational status since 1987 until now, and it is currently registered until 2015. FREE CARFAX report available on request. It has a very good engine, solid bodywork and clean original interior. It will make a nice completely original Classic SWB with minor tlc. Overall a solid, unrestored and original California Range Rover Classic for a very fair opening bid and no reserve.
I am also advertising this vehicle in other venues, and as such, I reserve the right to end this listing at any time, should a serious offer present itself. These old Range Rovers are getting harder and harder to find, specially in original, unaltered condition. Solid roof models are even more rare.
