I've owned two Classic RR's. The last one was a 1994 LWB 4.2 that I purchased in 2000 and owned for 13years and sold when moving from PA to NM. I've owned all manner of British cars over the last 50yrs and can say with authority, that Rover was the most dependable, most over-engineered British car I have ever owned. Despite being a LWB, I also took it off-roading a fair amount. Let's just say it was well used and much loved. One upgrade worth doing was putting Eaton Tru-Track limited-slip (torsen-style) differentials front and rear; it made it unstoppable. I only recently purchased a 2001 P38a Range Rover, a now 22 year-old vehicle yet is impressive in its build quality given its 150k miles. One area to watch with all of these "Buick" heritage V8's - yet few seldom do - is to replace the radiators well in advance of them developing head gasket leaks. Radiator replacement is neglected on most cars but with the Rover it is paramount and should be done every seven years. Flushing and reverse flushing have little impact on tubes that have become clogged over time. As a result, the 'flow-rate' through the radiator is crippled to the point that pressure builds up on the engine side, causing water pump and head gasket failures as a result.

They are absolutely amazing cars for sure! How are finding your P38? I have one myself, which was reviewed on this channel. It's a 4.6 HSE.

I used to daily drive one similar to this, 1991 Ardennes green with tan leather interior, gorgeous truck and it was one of the most memorable - for better or worse - daily drivers I've ever had. The most amazing part of that truck was its ability to leave you stranded Locally! If you were on a long trip it would do it with no problem. Need to run to the local shops? Lucas coil goes bad!

I worked for Land Rover for about 16 years, admired them as a boy, they were part of the landscape in Old Africa, in many instances the only source of survival in remote places, way before mobile and satellite phones. Parts are getting hard to find, especially engine ones, recently need rockers for a V8, the after market ones available are soo inferior, one didn't even have the steel cup in it.

I have been wanting to get hold of a classic for sometime here in Australia but good examples seemed have have dried up and become very expensive.

@npet6842 2 жыл бұрын

There never were too many good examples of late . There was a suffix A low miles original family, ( Aussie delivery ) on the Gold Coast 2 years back that went for AUD50k . I drove them in the late seventies and they weren't that marvellous really . As time goes by , rose tinted memories materialise , but I wouldn't thank you for a Classic now. LC100 V8 are my older favourites . The Discovery 3 V8 was an excellent ride , but overly complicated and expensive maintenance is ongoing with mine . Can't part with it though .......

The road tax on that Range Rover is currently around 1500 euro but in the next few months it will become a classic vehicle so will drop to 56 euro a year! Yes Barbour are a great coat! A timeless item like the Range Rover.

Is that your own RRC? Its a fine looking (and sounding!) example! We moved from London to Kilkenny a couple of years ago and knowing the move was on the cards I got a RRC before we moved over but the road tax here is horrendous so I made sure mine was over 30 years old ;-) (1989 - V8 3.5) It is truly an amazing car, not least because they must have done something seriously wrong when it was being built because mine has been so damn reliable! For the last couple of years its been my primary transport, I also own a 1999 Triumph Speed Triple but the roads and weather here limit the amount of time I get to spend on it. Then, six months ago it stepped up to be my daily driver as I now use it to get to and from work, again, never misses a beat. Sadly its got to go though as I have a hankering for an early 110 so the RRC will hopefully fund the new truck.

@GreenOval_Adventurers 2 жыл бұрын

No this one is a friends of mine, Sadly we had some years ago but let them go but ill restore the red one and it will do fine. Yes the road tax is very high, id say from a financial point of view the RRC would be better to hold at present because as i stated values are rising quickly but the 110 sounds interesting. P.S welcome to Ireland where it actually does rain a lot more than England. haha and thank you for taking the time to watch my video, I hope you stick around.

I bought a 1990 3.9 vogue with knackered paint for £170 in 2009 ,it was a trade in.. My mate repainted it in the light met blue it was supposed to be.. It was a dream, drove well,was outstanding off road on A/T tyres..I only removed the front spoiler for green Laning... Unfortunately it was stolen and used in a smash and grab raid on an off license for the cash machine...I still remember the police saying" Your car has been found with the remains of a free standing cash machine still attached to it by a chain,It's still running"...They'd backed it into the shop thrown a chain around the machine and dragged it up the road until only the cash box was left.. I never got the car back ☹️☹️

Hey man. I'm so sorry to hear this. It's amazing how low some people go. I bought a RRC 1970s one for 50 EUR back in 2009. It wasn't running, but could have been fixed. If I only I then knew the value of it. But I was young and didn't think much of it, and hence it was crushed and we got a takeaway with the profit. 😢

I also own a Suffix A 1972 Range Rover that I hope to restore!!! But unfortunately I purchased a 1996 P38 Range Rover and it was total rubbish!!! Everything broke or didn’t work!!!

Hey Ian. I hear you. The P38s can be a lot of trouble, but saying that have a very strong chassis! I actually have a rather clean 1996 example. It's a 4.6 HSE. Currently, parked in a shed under cover but I'm hoping to get her out for a driver soon. Looking at restoring the headlining, paintwork and bushings. It will be on the channel.

@whitedog1 5 ай бұрын

@@GreenOval_Adventurers Knock on wood but I seem to have a dependable P38. Its a 2001 so either Rover sorted most of its issues by then or I simply have one that was well looked after. Having owned several Classic RRs in life I gotta say, the P38 has been quite impressive to drive both on the freeway and when off-roading.
