1974 Left Hand Drive Range Rover 2-Door

Back in 1987, when the Range Rover made its appearance in the U.S., many people, myself included, thought: cool, a new four wheel drive! It was an amazing vehicle, with simple, elegant styling, and while it was one of the most overbuilt, rugged vehicles on the road, it was still comfortable and smooth enough to prop your coffee cup on the dash in the morning. Only much later did I realize that a lot of what one knows depends on historical perspective: The Range Rover has been in production since 1970.

This is a 1974 Left Hand Drive Range Rover 2-Door: The stock engine would have been a carburetted 3.5 liter V-8, this Rover has been professionally fitted with a Rover 3.9 Efi V-8 , and a five-speed gearbox. This is the engine and gearbox found in later Range Rovers as well as the U.S. spec Defenders. A well maintained vehicle, it starts and runs perfectly, aided by the power assist steering. Four wheel disc brakes, coupled with a new power brake servo, and new Bilstein shocks in the front. Has original equipment wrap-around brush bar, welded front diff guard, and full rear gas tank protection. Also has an am/fm cassette stereo, and later style (U.K. spec) Discovery wheels. Fitted with a tow package.
