EXTERIOR
This high specification Vogue Turbo D has covered an incredibly low 15,970 miles from new with low owners, the first having cherished the car for 20 years.  Finished in original Alaskan Blue metallic, (Code NWC 5365), the paint work is exceptionally good with a bright uniform finish.  All factory panels are pin straight with no damage including the perfect often troublesome tailgate.  Worthy of mention is a small blemish to the nearside roof gutter.  All chunky trim sections and decals are in pristine order and all glass is original registration etched.  Originality seekers will be pleased to see factory Lucas head lamps and Land Rover light fittings, as well as Land Rover main dealer number plates and rear screen sticker.  A preserved example of museum quality.

INTERIOR
Upholstered in factory original Winchester Muted Grey Cloth, the immensely comfortable seats are in near perfect condition with no wear and all foam and seat structure remains firm and in shape.  The deep pile carpets are pristine and sumptuous having been protected from new by genuine Range Rover over mats.  The fascia and American walnut door inserts are perfect and all the gauges, controls and electrics operate exactly as they should, including the Range Rover radio cassette.  Preserved low mileage credentials are further evident in the perfect headlining, PDI stickers to the seats and seatbelt buckles and the original transfer box instruction label still attached to the dashboard.  The boot area is accessed through the iconic split tailgate and has factory stickers and chalk marks behind the side mounted spare wheel.  A far cry from the usual abused examples, more au fait with a day at the races than a day on the farm!

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 2393cc VM diesel as fitted to this Turbo D was Land Rover’s first factory produced diesel for the Range Rover.  This intercooled turbocharged diesel unit produces 112.6bhp and 248Nm maximum torque, with a delightfully robust sounding diesel hum, slightly quieter once inside the cabin thanks to Range Rovers extensive soundproofing!  The engine bay is a spotless showpiece with all factory stickers, labels and plates intact and genuine Land Rover service items clear to see.  The exceptionally strong 5-speed manual gearbox with chain driven transfer box is sturdy to use and performs perfectly.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The original alloy wheels are in perfect condition having never been refurbished with Range Rover and part number stampings clearly prominent to the outer rims and factory fitted centre caps in excellent order.  Brand new Michelin Latitude 205/80 R16 tyres were fitted in July 2019 but all five original Michelin XM+S tyres including the spare have been kept for originality purposes.  Hydraulic discs with servo assistance operate to all four wheels.

HISTORY FILE
Registered new on 1st August 1988, this was the very first day of the F registration cars and many dealers would open on Sunday’s or at midnight to allow buyers early collection.  The supplying Land Rover Main Dealer was Knowles of Epperstone and the original vehicle sales invoice made out to first owner, Mr Henry Taylor, confirms the purchase price of £23,058.31 less part exchange allowance for his 1974 3-door Range Rover.  Mr Taylor purchased the car upon retirement and was the proud owner for 20 years, using the car regularly but sparingly and always keeping it garaged, and only selling when he was to give up driving.  Just three further keepers are all traceable and the condition is a credit to all owners.  The large history folder is chronologically filed and contains all MOT certificates carried out dating back to the first in 1991 to fully verify the mileage, along with a large collection of main dealer and specialist service invoices.  An original Range Rover sales brochure and two sets of original keys complete the history file.

Rarely does such a low mileage preserved example become available, worthy of the finest collections.

A truly cossetted, capable and collectable Range Rover in incredible pristine condition.

INTERIOR
A highly appointed and beautifully finished cabin space, where it is ever-so easy to forget you are in the most capable production off-roader in the world, and easy to see why Range Rover is regarded as the best. Such minimal careful use by the only owner from new has ensured the Windsor Leather upholstery in Tan with Jet Black piping is as new. The elevated driving position and generous glass area give a commanding view of the landscape whilst indulging the occupants in unrivalled sumptuous luxury. The Jet Black carpeting, including the boot area is perfect, as is the beautifully finished Burr Walnut interior finish with contrasting Jet leather dash top. All beautifully machined controls and switchgear operate flawlessly. A remarkable example, unchanged and unspoilt since it left the showroom in 2006.

The engine bay is pristine and displays all Land Rover warning stickers and identity stampings. The factory standard 5-speed adaptive automatic gearbox with torque-sensing centre differential allows smooth, refined and relaxed progress with sport and manual modes available if preferred.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Factory fitted 18inch 5 split-spoke alloy wheels with the Sparkle Silver Land Rover centre caps are totally unmarked, and the wide apertures allow visual access to beautifully clean braking components. Five matching quality Goodyear Wrangler 225/60 R18 tyres remain fitted with masses of tread remaining. The spotless boot area houses the spare tyre which is unused with coloured banding alongside the original jack and wheel brace. Ventilated disc brakes front and rear feature ABS with Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), for optimal stopping power.

HISTORY FILE
Supplied by an official Land Rover retailer and registered new on 2nd January 2006, (thus benefitting from the lower road tax), the first and only owner from new is a Mr Ivor Lewis. The remarkably low mileage of 16,589 miles is fully verified by the service record carried out in accordance with the maintenance schedule. The same Land Rover specialist has serviced the car since new, as evidenced in the original service booklet which displays five stamped entries, with just 661 miles covered since the most recent. Full POS literature from 2006 is in the Land Rover leather wallet, and the hard-back marketing material makes fascinating reading and will appeal to the perfection seeking collector wanting the full package. Both sets of keys and the remote interior pre-heating fob are included along with the often misplaced Land Rover Venturecam. Splendid in all respects and near impossible to find in this condition.
