Hi
New to the forum. Based in NZ and recently purchased a 1988 classic. Very original with no mods.
The vehicle is registered as a Vogue Kestrel and I was wondering if anybody knew what this meant? Kestrel is printed on both sides of the car and the rear tail gate. See picture
I have googled it, but nothing has come up apart from another Vogue Kestrel in NZ that someone is trying to sell.
I know it will probably just be a slightly different spec, but does anybody know exactly what "Kestrel" means?

Greetings.
I'm also in NZ and have seen maybe 3-4 of these over the years. I think they were all the same shade of white too.
I think they were a higher specced vogue, but I'm not sure exactly what the spec was. I've never been able to look through a stationary one.

Perhaps the Land Rover dealer selling these was making a connection:
Kestrel Preservation Society
Both white and wallowy, too.

Limited edition Charles Spencer Kestrel?
Quick get it to the old dart and flog it for 80,000 pounds sterling!
Haha. CSK's are going for a princely sum!!!Originally Posted by MICHELINXMS244

They must have been a run out spec that Land Rover NZ put together to get rid of old stock prior to the 3.9s coming in. Anyway, its a nice and tidy truck. In the process of tidying it up I might get rid of the Kestrel transfers. Will give a cleaner look.

Well don't do that until you know more about them. Obviously there are a number in New Zealand. They do get a mention in one of the best Range Rover Classic websites:
http://www.range-rover-classic.com/H...e-rover-1980-s.
Go down to the 1986 "Olympic" Range Rovers where there is a mention with a question mark that the "Kestrel" may be similar to the Olympic "sporty" RR.
The website owner, Vidar is a member here (Tuscan) - see the sticky about his website at:
Range Rover CKD production in Australia.
You could send him a PM about the "Kestrel" - he may have more information not on his website.
