The Range Rover, launched in 1970, created the luxury SUV segment. Initially a utilitarian 2-door with a vinyl interior and a detuned 3.5-liter Rover V8, it evolved over 25 years into a plush, 4-door vehicle with leather, wood trim, and a long-wheelbase (LWB) option. Its blend of agricultural toughness and upscale comfort was unique, and its iconic Spencer King-penned design remained largely unchanged through its final year in 1996.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the primary concern. Check the steel frame, floor pans, inner fenders, sills, and especially the upper and lower aluminum tailgate, which corrodes where it meets its steel frame.
- The Rover V8 is reliable but watch for signs of overheating, which can indicate head gasket failure. Check for regular oil changes in the service history.
- Later models (1993-1995) feature an electronic air suspension system that is a known failure point. Many have been converted to coil springs; check for quality of work and ride height.
- Test all electrical components. Window regulators, central locking, and dashboard gauges can all be problematic, and tracing faults can be time-consuming.
- Engage high and low range on the transfer case to ensure it works correctly. Listen for unusual noises from the differentials and check for leaks.
