Yep - The 3.5 EFI came out in '87.

Mine is still that configuration. :)

Or a Chev, costs about the same to run with LPG. Audio preferences come into play.

Really smart people buy with Chev and gas, or Isuzu already fitted. :)

G'day Folks :)

Going by my book, "Range Rover the first generation" by James Taylor,
October 1985 (86 model year) EFI introduced on Vogue model,(Hi-line in Aust) it also brought in the short stick LT77 and the 4 spd ZF4HP22 auto.
It also was the first of the welded body frames replacing the bolt together type.

April 86: was the first of the Turbo D 2.4 VM diesel

November 86: EFI 3.5ltr fitted as standard on 4 door models


Hope that is of help


cheers
