Well appointed vehicle. Even appears to have a drinks holder under the bonnet 😂

Finally I get to see you working on a Classic Rangie ✌🏼

Gadafi in Libya ordered a bunch of RR and insisted on 7:50R16 Michelin XS sand tires (equivalent to 235/85R16 which are ~32" in diameter) ! The rear fenders had to be adjusted (similar to the "CT-cut" of later years) to fit without a lift! Maybe this one needs a little trim too - without the unnecessary 2" lift!

If it’s rot free it would make a nice original restoration and put it back to a factory finish Mike! My mates been storing his 86 classic in my workshop for years which is in ok condition but unfortunately 15 years ago he had it painted in Tangier’s Orange which was all the rage! I did my brothers series 3 in the same colour and now looking at it I regret it because it’s so bloody bright!!

Hi Mike, I also went thru restoring an RRC. The engine was totally shot so I had no choice but to replace it. And I went with a 300tdi. Gasoline is much more expensive here in the Philippines than diesel. The interior was terrible so I had to change everything. I did this project around 4 years ago. I'll try to find some photos and email them to you.

Hi Mike , will be a great project, britpart have started doing the rear quarter window rubbers , have just purchased a pair for our own classic , look good quality. Going to follow this resto very closely.

Even now that shape doesn't look dated. One of my favourite all time vehicles. Looking forward to this one but please do let us know why the military one is only running on 3 before we start this one. The suspense is killing me.

YES, you finally have a vehicle that I have, looking forward to the details on this one. My 91RRC is my daily driver project. Although I am struggling to decide what type of oil to use for this summer in California, shes got 204k, trying to keep her alive.🧟‍♂️

The lift is the only thing besides the tires that looks good.

Looks great. I actually love 'Russet Brown', nobody else does, mind.

Hello from a sunny,hot Bushmills with cloudless skies :) Am also restoring a RR Classic Mike. Dark red four door, grey teddy bear interior, soft dash,V8. LPG fitted, thank gawd. Car is going to bodyshop as soon as I can find new rubbers. Rarer than an honest politician! If I find a source, I'll pass on the details. I think we're going to end up salvaging the rubbers where we can and filling in with a kind of plastic putty, then trimming in situ, to get the right look. It's what the last owner did about a decade ago. Good luck and will be glued to this series of vids ;) Michael / Bushmills

The 235 tires are perfect for the RRCs. Gives it a bit of lift without causing any kind of drive line issues, makes it just a bit tougher looking, a bit better for off road with the right tread, but still very classic looking.

Mike. I have a 1995 soft dash classic with 300TDI auto. Body and chassis rotten, ABS shot. Its a customers vehicle but not an economical repair and they want out of it. Good engine, box, doors and leather seats. If the shipping isn't a killer and you want any bits I'm about to start to break it. Jim.

Nothing wrong with brown land rovers !!!! From an unbias brown landrover owner

Looks good. Wish we could get that quality here in Oz for the price....

A lot of work Mike, but it seems that it worth it. I love RRC... Please convince she to not to paint in black...

Looks like a really great base to start with. Good luck on sourcing all that rubber stuff!

Trocadero red is a beautiful colour for ranges.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the windscreen rust is repaired. Mine's much worse than that and I'm not looking forward to tackling it!

Defenders are great for accessories, but not these. Less is more with Range Rovers. I'd make it as original as possible - they're becoming rare and quite valuable.

Good oroject!! Cant wait to see it!!!

The beauty of these cars is in the originality. As there are fewer and fewer of these beauties left in original condition, any car that is close to original should be preserved and restored. There are plenty of chop-shop machines out there that can be transformed into whatever mutation a customers wants, which are too far gone to be economically restored. This one however you can see straight away that with just a little bit work, can be brought back to the timeless classic that these cars are. IMHO this should be brought back to original. If the customer wants a 300tdi, then why didn’t she just buy a 300tdi?

looking forward to seeing the chassis Mike, Hope its as good as the body. Got to be Epsom green !!

Looks a good solid car Mike, I would rather start with a solid car than one with good oily bits, My RRC is black looks great when it's been cleaned , Hope you have the rear bumper good ones are like hens teeth, I will be following the conversion closely.

Gonna need a genuine 2 inch body lift off the chassis to get those tyres to articulate without grinding into the inner wheel arch at the rear. People always opt for the 2 inch suspension lift in the mistaken belief it will offer clearance for the big tyres. 1 Decent bump and you lose a wing! New std springs work very well with genuine suspension rubbers.

God Mike !!!!! How I wish that I could find a motor like this Range Rover. What a beautiful vehicle. Mine was only a two door but , other than not being a four door like this is it was perfect for me. I like that you have the option of the pepper-pot wheels that are in the back of this motor, is there a full set? if there is I would fit them rather than the ones that are on it now. I like the v8s, they sound right and are in keeping with a range rover, they are and sound powerful which is what that motor is. Like you I hate that TEDDY BEAR BROWN interia, but I could put up with it. As for the colour, WELL!!! it is only a tin of paint away,I hated that light brown that was popular in the 90s, we used to call it, BARKUM ROOT BROWN, or as you would say- dog defecation brown. You are one lucky fella to have the chance to play with this car, I might come over and join you for a day or two. Best wishes from Yorkshire Rob..

Looks to be a decent enough project. Which is code for 'complete rebuild' ...

I'd love a two door RR of that vintage, but they're as dear as poison in Australia.

Jack it up! 2.5” super lift- beadlocker rims- Arturo Blade Bose tyres! Drop a Cummings engine- open up the rear pipes with bigger diameter! Raptor paint black. Done!

Hi, I really injoy watching your videos and I'm looking forward to the videos on this range rover 😀. Not sure about black through? I like the colour it is now

Beautyfull colour

Giant door gaps. Is that correct, or is the GoPro distorting the image? What's the story behind that V8? Looks like an overhaul gone bad. This (like everything else) will be fun to watch!

throw the VM in there and thrown them for a loop

Ahh, job security, one Rover at a time. Should have video material now for quite some time. Definitely not from the salt belt areas.

I wonder if liveridge 4x4 is still trading..... I’m in Solihull if you need me !

Hi Mike are the door tops the same as disco 300tdi's?

Is it a 1995 vogue SE Mike??

What's the job for this one
