Thread: $42,500 for a 91 RRC???

It's back for sale again, this time for $25k.

Starting to get close to a reasonable price, sure beats $42k

... At this rate, three more years...

I would possibly think about buying this car, but on one condition.... I get to kick him in the nuts as hard as I can with my steel cap boots!!! That alone would be worth the money, and I get a free range rover!!!

Still got the same ad, with the same old claptrap too: Heavily Modified Range Rover, Supercharged 4.6 V8 Beast - the Ultimate 4WD! | eBay.

Looks like none of his "offers" came to fruition then.

So, he's been trying to sell it since 2008??

Does he have a brother in NZ?

Some guy has been trying to sell this 1991 UK import which is bone stock but allegedly gold plated somewhere.
Started at $NZ15k and claims he doesn't need to sell. But now it's $9k/$12k.

Still about 3x higher than a UK import with no air-con, no leather and 300,000km would sell for.

Hey Dougal, do you see many over there without AC? I haven't seen one ever. The glovebox looks useful
Nice condition but I'd want leather, EAS and A/C for that $$$

The first RRC we got with AC was the four door vogue (I think these were badged Highline in Aus) in 1985. So that's all the 2 doors and the four doors to about 1984 which never had AC. I'm sure some are floating around with aftermarket AC but I've never personally seen one.
My 85 (BA chassis) was one of the first Vogues and has AC integrated into the dash as factory fit.

Then it's the (poverty pack) UK imports. Pretty much none of the UK imported classics have AC or leather seats or tinted windows or anything that cost extra. I wrecked an 88 UK import years ago which was the same spec as that one. Manual, cloth seats and no AC. A mate here has (among others) a UK import like that one, but he paid about 10% of that asking price.
Some of the UK imports are shockers for rust. Salted roads gets up between the alloy panels and steel footwells. But others were imported early in life and stayed relatively corrosion free.

Some people here even remove AC from vehicles. Bugger that. But I live in the part of NZ that gets the hottest (and coldest) temps.

Reading this I was thinking as a pom I would not touch one from the uk as it would be full of rust and there would be a lot better examples here than that.

And I say that with a Personal import Landy from the Uk.
