Are there just two models, vogue and Vogue SE? As some have the thick teddy bear trim and others leather, i have seen both trims with wood and also some without the electric seats , then i have seen an S advertised!.

The first RR I bought new was called "3.9 Efi" so neither Vogue nor SE, it had manual transmission and cloth seats. That would be 90/91, four door. As posted above the engine and drivetrain were great, the only problem over almost 10 years was coils shorting out due to condensation when mild damp weather followed hard frost, and even that only happened once. Corrosion was the problem though, even though the chassis and underside had been waxoyled from new. Happy memories, the most reliable RR i have owned. Only Range Rovers since 1988 |

Hi cs thanks for the info. Have you seen the RR that Peter Vardy Heritage is advertising by any chance? |

My girlfriend's BMW goes to PV from time to time and when I am there with it I tend to look at what is in the 'Heritage' showroom. They have had a few Classics and I have looked inside/under some of them. The prices seemed a bit much to me, and I wonder if their cars are really aimed at people who want them as an investment, where they will sit unused in the hope prices keep rising, rather than for driving. They look good from a distance, but one would need to check them carefully.

Caymanblack - I run the Devon & Cornwall region of the Range Rover Register. A fellow member contacted me last night to say he is looking to sell his Classic over the coming months as he has a restored Aston on it’s way and doesn’t have room to accommodate both.

4.2 is just a 3.9 with a longer stroke, there’s nothing really to suggest it’s more or less reliable - mine has done a lot of miles and is fine (but they’re all slow by current standards). The air suspension is very simple, but many will be tired and/or neglected - there’s nothing particularly difficult to resolve. Biggest issue is probably finding a diagnostic cable with the correct plug (if you don’t want to shove individual wires into the socket). |
