Range Rover Other Vogue SE 1994

Allmän beskrivning : Model History

The Range Rover Classic was a luxury 4x4 built by Land Rover from 1970 to 1996. It was the first generation of vehicles produced under the Range Rover name. For most of its history, it was known simply as the “Range Rover”; Land Rover coined the term “Range Rover Classic” for the brief period the model was built alongside its P38A successor before retrospectively applying the name to all first-generation Range Rovers.

In its original guise, the Range Rover was more capable off-road than the Land Rover but was also much more comfortable, offering a top speed in excess of 100mph, a towing capacity of 3.5 tons, spacious accommodation for five people, and groundbreaking features such as a four-speed, dual-range, permanent four-wheel-drive gearbox and hydraulic disc brakes on all wheels.

Like other Land Rover vehicles, most of the Range Rover's bodywork skin is constructed from lightweight aluminium and hung on a steel frame. The body design changed very little in the first decade and it wasn't until 1981 that the four-door body was introduced. The first major push upmarket was in 1984, which saw the availability of leather trim and automatic transmission. This was followed for the 1985 model year which saw the instrument pod replaced by a more modern one, alongside new door cards with walnut inlays.

The front end of the Range Rover was revamped in 1986. This brought a more pedestrian-friendly plastic grille with horizontal slats, and optional front valance with two fog lights. Mirrors were now mounted on the door pillar rather than the doors, the seat base was lowered and door handles were redesigned, making it more difficult for rear passengers but greatly improving the comfort for taller people in the front. Other changes included the windows, tailgate and bonnet, but none of those affected the general design. Bonnet and door hinges gradually evolved out of sight and the fuel filler cap was hidden behind a hinged flap.

The bumpers remain in fantastic order all round, free from any knocks or scrapes and with only a handful of small marks to report across the front edge.

Interior

The lavish Range Rover cabin is finished with Biscuit leather and burr Walnut trim. Being a desirable ‘soft dash’ model this example is equipped with driver and passenger airbags. Sat inside, the whole interior feels incredibly fresh, the seat upholstery still notable supple and showing no signs of use. There is no marking to any of the switchgear, door cards or glossy walnut inlays, and the steering wheel retains a lovely factory texture; even the original cassette player is still in place. The seats front and rear are equipped with individual folding armrests – again, all pristine – while the front seats are also heated and electrically-adjustable. In the footwells the carpets are protected by unworn rubber mats, and at the rear the boot area is absolutely immaculate, complete with spare wheel and folding parcel shelf.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

The original 3.9-litre V8 fires into life with a purposeful growl. Often these engines are replaced with larger displacement units but here the factory-fitted Ranger Rover V8 is pleasingly still present. On test, the diff and 4x4 system all work as they should, and the smooth four-speed auto ‘box operates very well indeed. The car benefits from a recent service carried out in June 2020 at 27,745 miles. The advisory-free MOT is valid until April 2021.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES

The 16-inch two-tone alloys present in excellent original condition with next to no curb marking and only very minor age-related wear to report on close inspection. They are wrapped in matching Goodyear rubber with plenty of tread remaining at each corner. Brake-wise, the car received new rear pads and discs in April 2020 at 27,400 miles, at which point the front pads were cleaned and checked, and the brake fluid was replaced.

History File

This 27k mile ‘soft dash’ Vogue SE was first registered in December 1994; it was supplied new by Farnell Land Rover in Bradford. Clearly a cherished example, this has to be one of the lowest mileage Range Rover Classics available today. The History File is complete with the original document pack, stamped service booklet, spare key and remote fob, previous MOT certificates and invoices for recent maintenance. The underside was fully Waxoyled in June 2020 to further preserve its amazing rust-free condition.

om Range Rover
Ni ser, när det handlar om SUV:ar finns det ett namn som står över alla andra - Range Rover. Det är förfadern, farfar, patriarken till alla SUV:ar du ser på vägen idag. Låt oss ta en resa in i Range Rovers värld.

Året var 1970, och bilvärlden var helt annorlunda. Det fanns bilar och det fanns lastbilar, och inte mycket däremellan. Men sedan, som en stråle av brittisk ingenjörskonst, dök Range Rover upp på scenen.

Den var designad för att vara den ultimata kombinationen av lyx och nytta, ett fordon som kunde ta dig till jordens ände med stil och komfort. Med sin karakteristiska, fyrkantiga form och ikoniska delade baklucka var den som inget annat i världen hade sett.

Under den eleganta ytan fanns ett permanent fyrhjulsdrivsystem, en ny idé på den tiden. Det här var inte bara en bil som såg bra ut; den kunde faktiskt ta dig överallt. Den trivdes lika bra på landsbygden som i de fina kvarteren i London.

Och interiören? Åh, interiören var en uppenbarelse. Mjuka lädersäten, träinredning och alla bekvämligheter du kunde önska dig. Det var den perfekta blandningen av lyx och praktiskt användande.

Men det som verkligen skiljde Range Rover från mängden var dess förmåga. Den kunde tackla tuff terräng med lätthet, tack vare sin kraftfulla V8-motor och avancerade fjädringssystem. Det var fordonet som kunde ta dig vart som helst, göra vad som helst och som lockade kungligheter, kändisar och äventyrare.

Genom åren har Range Rover utvecklats. Den har blivit lyxigare, mer teknologiskt avancerad och mer kapabel än någonsin tidigare. Men den har aldrig tappat bort sina rötter. Den är fortfarande måttstocken för lyxiga SUV:ar, den som alla andra mäts mot.

Och det, mina vänner, är Range Rovers arv. Det är fordonet som skapade SUV-segmentet som vi känner det idag. Det visade världen att du inte behöver offra komfort för prestanda, att du kan ha allt i ett elegant paket.

Så nästa gång du ser en Range Rover på vägen, ta en stund att uppskatta dess historia och betydelse
