Model History

In 1967 the Land Rover company brought to us a radical new idea of how a 4×4 should be made. Engineers Spencer King and Gordon Bashford set about designing a luxury Land Rover estate car, leveraging a V8 engine and based on a 100″ wheelbase chassis. Rover needed something to compete with Jeep and its ever growing fan base. Several years later, the very first Range Rover went into production as a 2-door 1970 model. It was rugged, raw, quite vertical and would set the evolutionary design in motion with its raised wing bulges on the bonnet and floating roof line. The model would evolve through vinyl and plastic to updated improved trim inside and out over time. This marque lineup though wouldn’t show up in North America for another 17 years. It was then that in 1987 LRNA officially introduced the Range Rover to the U.S. market at the LA Auto Show and went on sale in March of the same year.

In 1993, the long-wheel base (LWB) was introduced along with the electronic air suspension (EAS). The LWB stretched the short wheel base (SWB) an additional 10″, all devoted to rear seat passenger leg room. The EAS was the first of its kind, offering the driver the ability to raise and lower the suspension with the touch of a button. In 1995, the Range Rover received a major interior ‘upgrade’ from a hard dash with a rather quirky, yet endearing, layout, to a more modernized ‘soft dash’ with dual air bags. The RRC was the first to have command seating, the driver sits above the window ledges for improved visibility. The rear passengers benefit from stadium seating also providing improved viewing. The Range Rover was changed mid-year to the P38 style, running through the 2002 MY. These Classics are truly iconic to the brand and finally starting to see the appreciation they deserve in the collector car world.

Car History

Second Daily is proud to present this 1995 Range Rover Classic County SWB. It is finished in Alpine White over Sorrel Tan Connolly leather. Being a short wheel base version, power comes from a 3.9L V8 mated to a ZF 4-speed automatic transmission. Acquired by the seller over 8 years ago, this RRC is virtually rust free, has no known accidents and will ship from Florida with a clean clear title in the seller’s name. It is fully serviced and ready for its new owner.

Financial and shipping assistance is available. We also offer our Buying Assistance program to help facilitate the transaction between buyer and seller. If you would like to have this Range Rover inspected, Second Daily will cover up to $200 on a pre-purchase inspection if you go on to purchase the vehicle.

Exterior

The SWB’s came equipped with the 5-spoke TWR wheels as opposed to the 5-spoke cyclone wheels seen on the long-wheel based versions (25th anniversary edition notwithstanding). The Alpine White shows quite well, a few dings here and there, and is believed to be all original. No accidents are known to have occurred. Currently in Florida and originally in Alaska, but not to worry as they do not salt the roads there. A walk around shows no rust forming, only minor surface spotting in a few areas that bring no concern from what we see. The electric cord you see in the pictures in the front engine area of the car are for a block heater, which can easily be removed.

The underside shows only surface spotting in a few small areas. The floors, cargo load space, door arches and tailgate all look good and the upper hatch appears to be in good shape. The original air suspension has been replaced with Terrafirma +2″ coil springs and shocks, and DAP bushings were added to the rear to prevent rear wheel play.

Mechanically, the engine, gearbox, and Borg Warner transfer case are all said to be in excellent working order. Power steering and ABS brakes have no issues, and the seller reports there is no wheel vibration at any speed.

Interior

The sorrel tan interior presents quite clean. The seats show better than normal wear of what is typical on a 25 year old Classic. The leather is known to crack in these, they appear to be in good shape with no holes or tears visible, only some small seams showing in the driver seat that we could make out. We see no changes from original, with the exception of an aftermarket radio. The wood appears to be in very good shape, the center console area has been covered. It retains the OEM Range Rover rubber mats and has a Land Rover cup holder as well.

The power seats, central locks, windows and A/C all reportedly work as they should. Note in the pictures that all door speaker covers are present…yes, that’s rare enough for us to point out!

Known Issues

The seller reports there is no rust other than minor surface rust in a few places. The seller included before and after pictures of some light surface spotting starting to form on the floor pans. It was sanded and treated with marine primer and marine epoxy paint. This type of superficial spotting is very common in these trucks, as from the factory they had neoprene/foam sound deadening material that would retain the smallest amount of water. The seller reports everything is working as it should, with the exception of the cruise control.

Maintenance

The seller states during his ownership, he has over $17,000 in receipts for maintaining this excellent driver quality Rover. Noting that the new seller should have no immediate concerns. The air conditioner reportedly blows cold, heater is hot and the fan controls work perfectly according to the seller. A new seat ECU was installed to make the power seat and mirrors operational. If you don’t know about these Classics, that is a common problem to have so glad to hear these are all in good working order. Far North Rover in Alaska can verify all of the work and the condition of this Range Rover.
