in Daytona Beach, Florida with no (zero, zilch, nada) problems.
The Cons
-The passenger window and rear window have scratches. We decided to keep them because they were original
-The windscreen does have two small chips (no cracks). Again we kept it because it is original
-The light covers (front and rear) have cracks and ware but they are original Lucas lights which is again, why we
decided to use them rather than after market lights.
Vehicle History
This vehicle was originally made for export (hence the left-side-drive) and was imported originally from England to
El Salvador. It had two owners prior to our purchase of it (06/15) on the 45th Anniversary (to the day) of the
release of the Range Rover. It was drivable when we bought it and had been in no serious accidents prior and had
very little rust on the under carriage and astonishingly no rust on the frame (the vehicle was garage kept by both
owners). We drove it back to our shop in Antigua, Guatemala and commenced on an 11 month frame-off restoration
(restoration photos available upon request). The very little amounts of ware on the engine found during the rebuild
confirmed the accuracy of the odometer. Once completed we drove it from Guatemala to Daytona Beach, Florida where
it was then legally imported and given a clean Florida Title.
Price & Additional Information
We know what this Rover is worth. Not only is it the oldest available for sale in North America, it's also arguably
in the best original condition (by comparison) and has undergone a complete restoration less than two months ago.
We work exclusively with classic Range Rovers, Series, and Defenders and as stated this is our fifth RRC 2-Door
restoration to date with two more currently underway.

Tata to get Jaguar and Land Rover tech, platforms too?
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Since buying Jaguar Land Rover, Indian automaker Tata has generally left its luxury arm's platforms and technology alone. However, those days might be gone. The two of them are gradually growing closer with coordinated development and rumors of shared platforms. And it looks like all of that work and money is finally going to pay off with an actual vehicle in the near future.
According to Australian website Drive, Tata wants to make its cars more attractive to buyers outside of India, and to do that the company knows it must improve quality. The Indian company is being careful, though, because it doesn't want to dilute the Jaguar or Land Rover brands with cheap models. "You're going to see in the future a lot of sharing of technologies and platforms over time, but you won't see a JLR with a Tata badge on it," said Darren Bowler, managing director of Tata's Australian distributor, to Drive.
According to Bowler, these future vehicles are already on the way. Tata and JLR have a global platform in the works for 2017 that both companies could use for cars or crossovers. He also hinted that Jaguar's new Ingenium engines could be shared among the brands in the future, too.
Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant
Sat, 24 Nov 2012While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.
Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota
Wed, 12 Dec 2012As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
