I am not usually a huge fan of off-road stuff. I admire the work and like a few of them, but wouldn't see myself lusting after anything with beefy springs and off road wheel/tyre combos on usually. However this is amazing. The arches remind me very much of a CJ cherokee, which reminds me of the one posted up here earlier on this year which was converted to a track car of sorts. But this works in a completely different way! I think it is partly the base - 2 door RR's seem to have huge rear overhang and long hood, the entire cabin sits over the rear wheels like a 60s tourer in proportion. The added overfenders and extra wheel width/height just seems to accentuate it in a way that no other combination could. Added to this the original design features retained - the door handles that sit between the swage lines, the vinyl C pillar wrapping and that amazingly brown interior! Yep, I want this  |

I spotted this in your "No rhyme, no reason" post and I'm glad you posted more pic's on here. I love the classic Range Rover and this one looks the muts nuts.

I'm not much into 4x4s - but this got my attention! And made me look for early Range Rovers and much to my disgust they'r not quite as expensive as I was hoping they are - you know, for reasons of self protection  |

BTW the two door Range Rovers have 2 inner door handles - one at either end of the door so back seat passengers can to let themselves out !

I've had two - they are still out there but you have to search hard to find a good one as they rot badly and no repair panels now available. I thought the panels were made of aluminium? So they shouldn't rot at all. The tail gates were steel though, so I can see why they rust. |

So they shouldn't rot at all. The tail gates were steel though, so I can see why they rust. Under the alloy outers is a steel frame / inner panels. It's the steel aspect that rots and whilst there used to be repair panels the firm that made them for the two door was bought out by another company who promptly stopped production. 4 door are better supplied but I'm afraid with a two door checking of the steel inner frame & panels is more important than the condition of the outer alloy items.

They're out there alright, just not out here! In twelve months I've only seen two on the road. There's a few around in Malaysia but not in the Philippines, where Brit cars tend to be a bit rare. At least rot isn't an issue unless they've been in the sea. |
