    Yep - The 3.5 EFI came out in '87.

    Mine is still that configuration.

    3.5 EFI from 86

    3.5 till 94
    3.9 from 94

    Variances in the dates, but rough enough

    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
