    2 Door RRC - Production Ceased

    I was always under the impression that around the world production of of the 2 door ceased in about 1981 when we went to the 4 doors as per this reference Range Rover - Wikipedia

    However over on another non LR forum I go on, they are discussing this vehicle Our vehicles — Valencia Classic Vehicle Consulting (scroll down) a 1989 LHD VM Diesel 2 door.



    Looking at ebay UK there are also more

    RANGE ROVER CLASSIC TWO DOOR, 1987, LEFT HAND DRIVE | eBay

    So obviously 2 door production continued in LHD until at least 1990?? Were these still made by LR in the UK or maybe on behalf of LR by Santana??

    Cheers

    I was told by British off road that JLR recently built a couple more for sale -figure quoted was 130k pounds . Not sure if true but if it is then production only just ceased2 Door RRC - Production Ceased. FYI latest LHD 2 Door I've seen was either Spain or Portugal and I think 91/92

    The French had the same 2-door versions as well, I believe till the early 90's. All build in Solihull. The 'new' grill was an easy give away. The LHD for the Spanish and French markets had the short gearstick (R380?) and new desgined seats.
    My AUS 2-door is a AA144xxx build which I think puts into 84, so probably one of the last 'regular' 2-doors. You will also see brochures around that period with both 2 and 4 door covered. Those 2/4-doors had the LT-77 5 speed gearbox and a different centre console. M

    Thanks for the responses - as I indicated I never appreciated that any 2 doors were made much past 1981. So these 2 doors continued to be made in the UK and continued right up until when the P38 was introduced.

    Cheers

    AFAIR I recall seeing that the last RRC off the line was a two door for France or Sweden or somewhere.

    I texted uninformed this arvo re this as I didn't realise two door production went for so long and he remembers seeing this too, he said they were windowless van variants (commercials) bound for France.
