Goleta, California

BODY CONDITION:, Pretty much like original. We purchased this vehicle in Lake Forest IL in 1991 and drove it to Santa Barbara CA in 1992. It was a garaged third car and has had no exposure to snow, very little exposure to rain. There were few minor scrapes, but no accidents, and the paint is the sought-after Eastnor green, beautiful, glossy, throughout--virtually no dings or scratches, this car was always parked in end spots away from any threat of a door ding. Where there were repairs, we always retained the top talent in body shop selection. INTERIOR: The tan leather seating is pretty much as new, with slightly more wear on edge of driver seat, but no wear through or tears. the console and dashboard is all as new. The (real) wood trim is beautiful. The headliner has never been touched and is fine. The rear storage area is pretty much as new. The automatic seats and sunroof operate as new. gear readout at base of shift knob is a little off, but no problem. MECHANICAL We have retained all records since new (even from before we bought it) and they are organized and available buy email. We purchased a 100000 mile extended warrantee when the car had 26898 miles on it. A condition of the warrantee was that all factory services and inspections must have been complied with. As a result, the preventative maintenance program was by the book, the warrantee paid for many things, and we could afford to pay the rest. There were little repairs and services, but the important repair at 125839 miles was blown cylinder head gasket. As a result the cooling system was polluted and was overhauled/replaced. While they had the heads off, they did a valve job and other related updates. So the car now has 167590 miles and is runs mechanically like a car with 40000 miles on it, as it did when it was new. We have heard horror stories regarding mechanical problems and costs of this type vehicle, but we have not suffered those. 98% of repairs and inspections were done by authorized Range Rover dealers. The only flaws now that we are aware of are a blinking coolant light and blinking EFI light. We have continued to drive it with those indicators for several years, as it runs perfectly. When the EFI was analyzed by the RR dealer, they could pull up no faults. I know the coolant is OK, as other than normal evaporation, it stays filled to the top, and the engine does not overheat. In 2006, we bought a new RR and decided to keep this one, as we loved it. We drove it from Santa Barbara to Ephraim WI, where we had a summer residence. We left it there for our use when visiting, and stored it inside the rest of the year. This year we decided to stop our WI visits, so shipped the car back to SB 3 weeks ago. In the last 10 years, the total mileage, including the 2500 mile road trip was approximately 13000 miles--about 1000 mile per year. We have loved this car, it served us well, but we no longer have the garage space in SB that it needs. We are happy to answer any questions. This is a very special automobile, truly a classic.
