    Range Rover Classic rebuild on ebay for £185,000 plus VAT

    Early classic Range Rovers seem to have recently attracted a collector following with prices climbing. Never seen one priced this high though and am not sure how original it is. At least should not be a rusted out mess under the external aluminum panels that you normally find with a classic Range Rover

    Land Rover Range Rover


    £185,000.00 (No VAT)
    Make Land Rover
    Model Range Rover
    Year 1991
    Transmission Automatic
    Fuel Petrol
    Engine Size 4,600 ccm
    Mileage 1,000 Miles
    Emission class --

    We have pleasure in offering this stunning re-engineered LHD Range Rover Classic for sale. It has been constructed from a bare 1991 rust free bodyshell which has been 'future-proofed' to stop corrosion and has been externally 'backdated' to look like a 70’s car but with all of the comforts, benefits and features of driving a modern car with 100% reliability.

    Every Kingsley re-engineered vehicle undergoes a rigorous programme of examination and rectification. We start by fully dismantling every single nut and bolt from the donor car, replacing, refurbishing or upgrading every item to build what is considered by The Telegraph Newspaper to be the ‘Ultimate Classic Range Rover’ (please Google to see the article and the road test video).

    This Range Rover has also been fully acoustically soundproofed, fitted with a 4.6 litre V8 high torque engine converted to Kingsley’s ‘high efficiency’ fuel injection, which will return up to 25mpg on a run, a upgraded automatic gearbox, electric glass sunroof, Kingsley handling pack, custom 800 watt JL Audio System, Kingsley wide tubeless Rostyle wheels with high speed road tyres. It has a custom interior with every surface covered in Nappa tan leather interior with tartan details.

    She is an absolute peach to drive, attracts very warm comments from all who see her – classic looks with modern reliability.

    Supplied on French or UK registration.

    Would have put some of the images on here as the ebay listing will disappear and so be lost however cannot seem to do it when add picture for some reason keeps saying too many words to post.

    Perhaps someone else might have more luck

    The high price he is asking does not mean some one is prepared to pay that.

    And it is not an early two door RRC - looks as if it is one of the last two doors that were made up until the 90s in LHD. Certainly not valued what they are asking.

    I must say I don't care for the colour of the interior.

    it's not really a restored classic is it? It's quite hybrid now

    Just cannot be worth that money.

    Buy your own classic and do a full resto for 1/4 of that price

    I'm sure I saw that interior colour in an early blue one a friend bought.

    Wow - my ‘76 2 door (currently under restoration) is looking better by the day.

    That thing is so far from standard it isn’t funny.

    Don’t get me wrong - it’s a nice restoration but not to OEM spec..

    No thanks.

    Probably a good buy for less than a 10th of the price - same basic model, a year younger, without the 4.6 upgrade and doesn't have the interior makeover.

    looks a bit like a rat with a gold tooth .... they have covered all the trashed plastic with leather ... that looks odd to my eyes. but I'm sure looks very nice in the flesh.
