SUMMARY
A well prepared 'Suffix G' Range Rover 3-Door offered at a very competitive guide.
DESCRIPTION
- Being a late-1979 car, this Range Rover is a 'Suffix G', which was the final iteration of 1970s Range Rovers and was the result of nearly a decade of continuous development
- Acquired a few years ago by our enthusiast vendor, this smart 3-Door was being specially prepared to enter the Sahara Rally when COVID intervened
- Appropriately finished in the now rare hue known as Sahara Dust, it's fitted with a long-distance fuel tank, twin batteries and upgraded suspension in preparation for the event
- Minimal usage since, though regularly started and it had been previously fully restored between 2009 and 2013
- Starting first time, it would appear this is a great opportunity to enjoy a turn-key 3-Door with some scope for improvement or just to enjoy at weekends
