Hi all

Just a quick question for any of the Classic Range Rover guru’s on here.

When did Land Rover stop building 2 door Range Rovers? Were any 2 door Rangies fitted with the GM Diesel engine straight from the factory?

Thanks

Jim

I was admiring a very nice 2 door LHD model fitted with a 2.5 VM diesel last week in Portugal.
Sorry, but I have no idea what year it was, but I couldn’t see a single bit of rust anywhere on it.

The 2 door in UK is around 81, unless you find a CSK which was 91.

The 2 door vm lhd where popular in Europe, never an option in rhd in uk Remember:- amateurs built the ark
Proffesionals built the titanic

Globally the 2 door continued in production until late 1993 early 1994. The Italian VM diesel 2.4 was fitted from 1986 until 1989. Then it was increased to 2.5 and marketed as the Turbo D. I am not aware of the factory using GM diesels, in the late 70s Land Rover did collaborate with Perkins on a V8 diesel based on the petrol V8 engine ( project iceberg) but it was cancelled as the blocks kept failing. In 1992 the VM was replaced by the 200tdi then in 1994 by the 300tdi. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys 👍

You might find the odd 2-door registered later than 1981, my first RR was a 2-door Classic registered in 1983 (A reg), maybe it had been sitting for a while unregistered. Only Range Rovers since 1988

2 doors went on until the 1986 model year in the UK (CSK aside), they certainly didn’t sell many over here after the 4 door was introduced. Last 2 door was built in January 1994 - a van, for Portugal.

I,m going to look at this 1985 2 door soon.
