Description:
1989 Land Rover Range Rover
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, ery little exposure to rain. There were few minor scrapes, ut no accidents, nd the paint is the soought-after Eastnor green, eautiful, lossy, hroughout--virtually no dings or scratches, his car was always parked in end spots away from any threat of a door ding. Where there were repairs, e always retained the top talent in body shop selection.
INTERIOR:
The tan leather seating is pretty much as new, ith slightly more wear on edge of driver seat, ut 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.
MECHANICAL
We have retained all records since new (even from before we bought it) and they are organized and available. 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, he preventative maintenance program was by the book, he warrantee paid for many things, nd we could afford to pay the rest.
There were little repairs and services, ut the important repair at 125839 miles was blown cylinder head gasket. As a result the cooling system was polluted and was overhauled. While they had the heads off, he did a valve job and other related updates. So the car now has 167590 miles and is runs mechanically slike a car with 40000 miles on it, s it did when it was new. We have heard horror stories regarding mechanical problems a costs of this type vehicle, ut 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, s it runs perfectly. When the EFI was analyzed by the RR dealer, hey could pull up no faults. I know the coolant is OK, s other than normal evaporation, t stays filled to the top, nd the engine does not overheat.
In 2006, e bought a new RR and decided to keep this one, s we loved it. We drove it from Santa Barbara to Ephraim WI, here we had a summer residence. We left it there for our use when visiting, nd stored it inside the rest of the year. This year we decided to stop our WI visits, o shipped the car back to SB 3 weeks ago. In the last 10 years, he total mileage, ncluding the 2500 mile road trip was approximately 13000 miles--about 1000 mile per year.
We have loved this car, t served us well, ut 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, ruly a classic.
