1972' Land Rover Range Rover Classic Suffix A

First registered in March 1972 and delivered to a Mr Bosman of Oisterwijk, Netherlands. The Range Rover was well kept and loved by Bosman who managed to maintain an original owner’s manual and a 'Rover Passport to Service' with a consistent service stamped ‘Maintenance Schedule’ starting from 1972 to 1977. Jump forward to late 2013 and we see the Suffix A sold by Jansen Laro Parts to a Mr Wiltshire of Gloucestershire and returned to the UK.

Mr Wiltshire set out to repair the Range Rover for the next two years, fitting new footwells, fuel tank and replacing the existing cylinder heads with a period correct early replacements. The Range Rover is accompanied by a comprehensive history folder full of parts receipts including an invoice from Cotswold Jaguar Care in March 2014 for several repairs which included fitting new inner wings, painting panels with rust protection and a new exhaust system. To complete his repairs on his loving Range Rover, Wiltshire had the car sent to a Cheltenham rolling road in 2014 for a check over and some fine tuning (invoice present), ensuring the 70’s classic 4X4 was performing to its true potential.

It was around September 2015 that the Range Rover changed owners to a Mr O’Neill of Somerset, as suggested by an ‘Insurance Policy’ document highlighting O’Neills earliest point of ownership in the cars history folder. Mr O’Neill continued to maintain the vehicle for the following 3 years where the Range Rover flew through each MOT with only minor advisories. May 2018 saw O’Neill sell the vehicle to its current owner.

Although subjected to past bodywork the Range Rover boasts a superb Sahara Dust finish with no major imperfections. All badges, bumpers and exteriors trim are presented in clean and damage free condition, show no signs of accident damages or rust, maintaining that highly sort after iconic boxy SUV look.
