Range Rover 3.9 V8 Vogue SE ‘Soft Dash’ 1994 Automatic (1995
model – one of the last) – Grey with grey leather interior. Runs on petrol and
LPG and has a current M.O.T.
I’ve owned the vehicle since March 2020 and it was purchased
as a non-runner having being stood for some considerable time. I managed to get
it running and I’ve spent the last 4 years playing with it and doing odds &
sods. In that time it’s had various items including a new viscous fan coupling,
water pump and radiator, it’s also had a new dizzy cap, plug leads, ignition
coil and electronic ignition fitted plus a new air flow meter. It’s had a new
rear exhaust box for the recent MOT and the old dicky starter motor has been
replaced with a new one on 19/03/2024.
It has an original Land Rover Jack Kit complete with bottle
jack, two stage handle, wheel brace and chocks.
*The dash-cam and fire extinguisher shown in the pictures
are excluded from the sale.
It comes with an MOT (pass with defects, you’ll see details
on the MOT photo) until November 2024 and I’ve compiled a list of everything I
could think of and given marks out of 10 however, there’s always someone who
will say “what about …x… “, I’ve tried
to be as honest as possible.

It has ‘gas’ fitted (tank in the boot) and runs okay on it, **changing
from petrol to gas is not a problem however, it hates going from gas to petrol
and mis-fires badly, you have to stop, turn her off and wait a couple of
minutes before starting on petrol again. As long as you’re aware there’s a
problem it’s just a minor inconvenience. This is only a recent occurrence and
I’ll let someone else find out why.
There is a V8 Range Rover
classic, 14CUX ECU USB diagnostic lead (Rover-Gauge – ‘Hot Wire’) and CD with
vehicle as well as a workshop manual for the 1994 model, there are slight
changes to this 1995 model and so I would advise downloading the ‘Range Rover Electrical
troubleshooting manual 1995 model’ and the ‘Range Rover Classic workshop manual
1995 model’. Not that I’m expecting you to have many problems but, at the end
of the day, it’s just a Land Rover in disguise!
Please come and have a look, what you see is what you get*,
I’m in Uttoxeter (ST14) which is on the A50 mid-way between the M1 and the M6.
If you decide to purchase from the description without viewing don’t waste
either of our times by trying to bid lower than the agreed price on collection,
you’ll leave empty handed and Ebay notified. Payment and collection is to be withing 24 hours of listing ending (or sooner if vehicle seen and price agreed).
Cash on collection! £5,500.00 O.N.O. No other form of buying
will be considered!
Any questions, please feel free to ask.
I’ve now purchased another ‘classic car’, a 1956 MGA, and need
the money to get it right.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
