It would appear to me that the best Rangies in the world are being built at this time by my good friend Damon at Kingsley cars in Oxfordshire, UK.
here is a link to his website
Kingsley Cars Ltd
He supplies better-than-new cars to the great and the good.
IMHO the best RR Classic is the 4.2 standard wheelbase which was offered in certain markets - or the 2-door CSK 3.9.
They look amazing for onroad, however from my investigations Les Richmond Automotive builds the worlds best Range Rover Classic for onroad and offroad driving.Quote:

That LS3 conversion is quite the beast.
Of course, for $100k you could have the likely last & most collectable of the new Holden HSV V8s, the GTS, and afford a few tankfuls of petrol!
However that still carries the ugly body of the cooking variety Commodore.
No Classic Rangie beauty there...
I notice that LRA delete the air suspension quick smart!
Thus can't fault the customer's sanity!
Not quite my wish-list. But it's good to know the 6L80 can fit with the LT230 and driveshafts.Quote:

Also just bought an '88 donor for $1200, but its too good to scrap ("$500 for roadworthy) and it's wonderfully simple compared to the '91.
Now my dilema - which to keep...
I just looked at your earlier link with the pictures & youtube vids.... it looks like a good project.Quote:

Because not all of us have pockets that deep, yet among the masses there are those who have excellent fabrication skills and could achieve identical results, without it costing 100K.
But I would also guess they are looking to protect their own market and wouldn't contemplate selling a kit.
