HISTORY OF THE RANGE ROVER
The late 1960’s saw the emergence of the recreational off-road market led Land Rover to come up with a radically new competitor to the Jeep Wagoneer and the Ford Bronco. Land Rover passed on this challenge to Charles Spencer King, under the project title of “The 100 inch Station Wagon”.
It all started when Rover bought a Bronco and noticed the coiled suspension, this boosted the luxury element as gave improved performance and comfort. He also noted the powerful Buick V8. However, Mr. King gave the Range Rover several unique capabilities, improved carburettors that still fed fuel at extreme angles and the infamous started handle for emergencies.
It was launched in 1970 as “a car for all reasons”. The Range Rover was also the first permanent 4x4 to do over 100mph whilst having a towing capacity of 3.5 metric tons, accommodation for five, hydraulic disc brakes to all wheels and the groundbreaking dual-range, permanent four-wheel drive gear box.
A four door version was introduced in 1981, with the two door version phased out in 1994, it was then named the ‘Classic’ to differentiate from the all new P38a Range Rover.
THE CAR
It’s with much anticipation that we have the privilege to bring to market a late model 1991 Spanish market Range Rover two-door V8 3.9 EFI. There is a certain charm, character and allure of a basic agriculturally specified 2 Door fitted with a characterful and soulful V8 engine. I find they just make you smile, and it’s hard to not. This particular vehicle was first registered on the 31st of January 1991 in Barcelona, Catalonia, high up on the Spanish peninsula. Delivered by the now all-too-familiar Land Motors S.A. The vehicle resided in Barcelona right up until early 2018 where it was relocated with the last Spanish owner to Palm on the Spanish Ireland of Majorca. It’s a really well-preserved vehicle, it’s been enthusiast owned and for a large proportion of its life.
