Description

The 2 door Range Rover Classics, ade in the 1970’s, re the first generation of this iconic vehicle. These vehicles were never imported into the United States and are very rare.

We purchased this Range Rover in Costa Rica and it has undergone a full restoration. The vehicle has been imported into the United States, ll customs paperwork is complete and all taxes and duties are paid.

This Range Rover is one of only a few in the US and is in exceptional condition with very low original miles. In the 1970’s Range Rovers in Costa Rica were vehicles of status and were rarely driven and well cared for so we had a really good starting point for the restoration.
