Premier NAS 88 Range Rover Classic 72K Original Miles!!! Introduction: Attention all Range Rover Classic enthusiasts!!! This 88 is assuredly one of the last of its kind. seemingly frozen in true time-warp status with mileage. pedigree and service that simply cannot be beat. This outstanding vehicle is part of a collection from a long time client of mine who has used it exclusively as a fair weather pleasure vehicle. It has always been in a temperature controlled. enclosed garage and her miraculous condition for a 27 year old Classic is something to truly celebrate as this is no doubt an investment class vehicle. Once this vehicle is scooped up. I am convinced that finding another like it will become positively impossible. If you’ve been waiting for a piece of RRC history. this is it! Service History and Maintenance Profile: As a Land Rover technician whose passion for the marque inspires my dedication. I always use the best genuine parts and expert skill with their fitment. The following is a list of all of the servicing done to ensure that your ownership experience is as enjoyable as possible!

Driveability and Performance: This truck fires right up and drives beautifully. period. There are no tics. knocks. rattles or hesitation of any kind from the engine. Acceleration is lively and smooth and there is no winding. slips. or shudder from the transmission. transfer case or diffs. The transfer case shifts between ranges with absolutely no noise and center diff lock selection works perfect. Overall. this truck is a pleasure to drive because of how solid it feels but also because of how plush and confident the suspension is. As a point of reference. I would even say that this truck is as plush as a P38 Range Rover with properly working EAS suspension. Yes. I mean that. Hit some railroad track crossings and tell me what YOU think! While most wouldn’t consider breaking any land speed records in an 88. she is still more aggressive than most 3. 9’s out there and will still push past 90mph on the motorways. AND YES. CRUISE CONTROL WORKS!!! Steering response is immediate and tight. retaining its performance automobile feel. The cabin is quiet and leak free from windows. doors. and sunroof. All windows and sunroof work. doors all lock and open correctly. all power leather seats work correctly. Even more to its credit. the AC works awesome as does the heat! All blinkers. lights. hazards. horns. safety belts work as they should. Aesthetics and Coachwork: The Chamonix White exterior paint is not only rare. but in excellent condition. It is touchably smooth and there is no oxidation. flake or peel. The Pembroke Grey leather is equally as rare and in incredible shape. There are no rips or tears in the leather – it merely resembles the broken in suppleness of your favorite baseball glove with the most wear to be expected from the driver’s seat. It’s quite remarkable to talk about how SOFT the leather is. Typically. any “Pembroke” interior is neglected and shabby: Seats torn and destroyed. carpeting brittle and faded. You won’t believe how comfortable the leather is – all the way around – and how factory fresh the carpeting appears and feels. The Range Rover embroidery on the rugs is clean and tight. The center console is PERFECT. The loadspace interior is in dazzlingly clean condition and also retains the injection moulded PVC Range Rover branded loadspace gear tray. All original warning and safety stickers are in remarkably like-new condition. You just DON’T see this anymore. Please note the detailed picture of the leather stitching: it’s 2-tone White/Pembroke is gorgeous! Further. being a garaged truck it is remarkably wear free from the elements with no rust in wells. jambs. bulkhead. pans. upper tailgate. etc. As a point of reference. the brake line union fittings are factory clean – I say this because they are located in an area totally voulnurable to road-grime and dirt and almost any Classic will exhibit fatigue here. Not so on this truck! If there are any faults to be found on the finish of the truck its seen in the pictures of the lower rear tail gate – a parking lot variety impression close to the end of the badge “Rover. as well as on the RH side forward hood cowl. The wonderful thing about and white Rover is that it hides this type of blemish quite satisfactorily without needing paint and body. in my opinion. …and by the way. did I forget to mention that the ORIGINAL Range Rover radio is intact and works great?!!! Quality and Character: Few other Classics evoke the feel of true Range Rover Heritage. It is as close as you will get to experiencing the original 2-Door DNA. The 88’s had the most refined version of the original interior – something lost from 89 models onward. The original woodwork is fantastically dark and satin smooth. And I’ve got to say. with auto door locks working perfect and the original AC overhauled. this Classic is by far one of my favorites. I KNOW it will put a smile on your face EVERY time you drive it. Additionally. It stops with tons of stopping power and you don’t have to worry about the issues which plague ABS Classics. To restore or not to restore? That is always the question! This truck is a FANTASTIC survivor and would fit great right next to the best of the line-up at any event or club function. Personally. every vehicle has a story to tell. and in the amazing condition it’s in for the vintage. I would absolutely leave it as she is. She is not a museum piece – meaning not a frame-off/factory literature example – but as frozen in time as a used vehicle can be? YES! As most of you probably know. the early NAS RRC’s – of which this is one – had a cable driven instrument cluster. This one works perfect. including the odometer. And mileage is verifiable via Carfax or similar. Purchasing. Perspective & Why Buy From Me: No one puts a Land Rover or Range Rover together better than me. PERIOD. It’s the vehicle I drive. and the vehicle I RACE. Nearly two decades of Rover ownership and service are poured into every truck that has ever made its way into new hands. All too common are sales from the brokerage houses where a vehicle will receive a detail service and nothing else. Leaving maintenance work for the pleasure of the new owner; often time’s immediately following reception of the vehicle. Beware of any truck that does not share the same service points as the ones listed here. They are ESSENTIAL for long term reliability and any Rover without these services are ticking time bombs. I am not a Land Rover tech that drives home in a Honda Civic. I come from a long line of British Car technicians and Live. Breathe and even RACE the green oval. I understand ALL of your concerns and needs and do my best to ensure that you will be happy based on a simple. yet powerful concept: DOES THIS VEHICLE MAKE ME HAPPY? WOULD I PUT MY WIFE AND BABY IN IT? WOULD I LOVE TO HAVE IT? The answer is always yes. And that’s when I know they are ready. I care. I know you do. too. SPECIAL ATTENTION: This vehicle is part of a collection from an enthusiast in Tennessee. They are currently stored in his enclosed garage. on his ranch outside of Louisville. KY. If you have ANY questions about this. or shipping from this location. PLEASE ASK. Vehicles that I see off not only have domestic endpoints. they go to the farthest reaches of the planet. They have gone to Europe. Asia. The South Pacific. Central America and currently. a client recently purchased a trail-ready 88 RRC and is en route to Tierra Del Fuego after I picked him up in the vehicle at LAX when he flew in to receive it! The point here is. I believe in each and every vehicle that I usher in to new ownership. Please see my recent vehicle sales and I’m sure you’ll be impressed. While these vehicles are all totally looked after. they are not immune to future service needs and flaws. They are used vehicles and normal flaws and wear should be expected. I invite you to ask ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS NOW! There are no queries too obscure; your satisfaction is the goal here. I have done my very best to represent this truck as it is. Every car has thousands of fastners and components and its nearly impossible to list them all – if there is something you don’t see or must see. please ask. Additionally. eBay offers a 3rd party inspection service to verify ALL of your acquisition needs IN PERSON. Purchase of the vehicle = SATISFACTION. Once this auction is over. the winning bid and purchase imply that satisfaction has been achieved and will be understood as such. There are no warranties offered here. but that said. there is always an unspoken “hand-shake” warranty meaning that should something fail within a reasonable amount of time – say a hose. a coilpack. a distributor. blower motors. an alternator. a switch. etc – I will be happy to send you what I have available at that time. This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION so you are bidding to win! Please make sure that you bid ONLY what you are prepared to pay. This means. when the auction is over. and the winning bid is placed. this becomes THE SALE PRICE of the vehicle. Under no circumstances does it open the door to negotiate or back out of your commitment. The people bidding for this vehicle actually want it. Do not spoil their chances at ownership by arm-chair bidding. Yes. everyone joins eBay at some point. and there is no prejudice against lower transaction numbers here – HOWEVER – if I suspect and/or become aware of any insincerity on the part of said bidder. I reserve the right to cancel all bids from and block that insincere bidder from this auction. Completion of this transaction is fairly straight forward. Once the auction is over. I will be contacting the winner immediately and we can discuss the easiest way to finalize the transition. Who is this vehicle for? If you are looking for that true taste of reliable. clean and collector worthy Range Rover history. this truck is it! For the collector. it could be the hard-fought for missing piece to your collection. To the newcomer. it will give you a distinctive 1st “taste of green” that will no doubt be the envy of your other enthusiast friends. Whatever your reason. this truck will make a distinctive and enjoyable coach for many years to come. This is a RARE opportunity here and I’m sure the soon to be winner of this vehicle recognizes it and I look forward to speaking with you! Thanks for the interest. good luck. and as always HAPPY ROVERING!!! |
