This car is quite simply a Unicorn, it really is
special. It has undergone a painstaking
restoration with tens of thousands spent.
Firstly, with the previous owners replacing panels and fully restoring
all bodywork and complete respray and refurbished wheels, then with engine
rebuild and mechanical upgrades in my last year of ownership.
I have the luck that the original restorers are the Range
Rover Specialists who also have done all the work for me in this last year and
know the vehicle inside out (and will gladly speak to any prospective buyer
about the car). It has been in regular but light use all of its life, and never
off-roaded. This car has never been
allowed to deteriorate significantly and had regular mechanical servicing and
attention as the service history attests too.
Its restoration took a solid base car and returned it to near
perfection.
Full-Service History, Main dealer to 52,000 then specialists
thereafter (Even have Guy Salmon plates and keyring in nod to the dealer it
originally came from), last service at 75,217 miles.
She has 76000 original miles on the clock, and drives
superbly, with increased power and torque and smooth delivery through the gears
thanks to a sympathetic engine upgrade.

She is simply wonderful!
Sadly (or not so sadly), I have three to many cars, and something has to
give way as I haven’t the space or time to use this magnificent beast.
She is so unique; it makes it hard to value. This is easily what you would expect from
Kingsley, but I will take £19,950 for her.
