Press and Piston Collective is pleased to offer this 1978Range Rover Suffix F for sale. This vehicle was imported into the United States in 2018 and has a clean Texas title along with current registration. Besides anaftermarket stereo, and exhaust tip, this Range Rover is nearly ALL original.The vehicle starts right up and runs extremely smooth. The 4-speed transmissionshifts perfectly, and the locking differential also works. This Range Rover’ interior is in fantastic condition. All the trim and plastic pieces are intact.There are not any tears present in any of the seats. Original carpet and headliner are still intact. The rear window and tailgate function perfectly. Amazingly, the factory side mirrors are still in great shape. These are rare and worth roughly $1,000 themselves.

It appears that some rust protection was sprayed on the undercarriage some time ago. The body of the vehicle is very clean overall with the exception of a very tiny rust hole (Size of a Nickel) in the passenger siderear wheel well. We have listed a picture of this area in the images on the ad.

This vehicle is perfect for the individual who has always wanted a 70s era Range Rover but does not want to spend $50k plus. While the truck is NOT perfect cosmetically, it is extremely smooth and reliable mechanically. It is a blast to drive, comfortable, and holds the ability to keep up with modern day traffic. I have taken this vehicle on multiple hour-long trips and traveled at speeds over 80 mph without any issues. The new owner could drive the vehicle as-is for as long as they like and/or make small upgrades along the way. If someone were to eventually restore this Range Rover,it would make a solid starting point in its current state.

If you have any questions, please feel free to message usdirectly, and we’ll get right back to you.
