1989 Land Rover Range Rover Classic with just 94k miles ticked off since new. It was originally put into operation as a two-year lease and then returned to Land Rover Nashville (Tennessee). It was then purchased by the shop manager at the time where it remained in his ownership until recently being acquired by the seller. For the last 7 years, it sat idle in the garage and the motor was recently replaced with a 3.9L V8 from a 1995 SWB with 125k miles.

Outside, the truck presents in a repainted original Alpine White. Exposed hinges suggest this 1989 model was one of the earliest built that model year (as they were hidden in most 1989 model year trucks). The car presents quite clean with no major dings of dents. The rear lift gate was replaced and the seller reports the rear crossmember was previously repaired and is in solid condition. The underside has spots of surface rust but nothing major from what we can see. The seller notes there were a few rust holes in the floor previously, all were cut back to good metal and new metal was patched and welded in, seam-sealed and painted.

The sorrel tan interior is seemingly in excellent shape with only minor cracks in the leather. The interior wood needs a little treatment in areas but overall presents very well. The dash is slightly faded but in good condition. The dash pod has a few missing tabs and needs attention but all gauges work. The seat switches have been rebuilt and work well. All window motors were removed and rebuilt. Two of the window switches work intermittently and should be replaced.

The motor swap and inspection was done by Charlie Haigh, a professional Land Rover mechanic. The engine has new heads and a new water pump. The A/C system was serviced and charged. The cooling system and transmission were flushed and refilled. This SWB is fitted with all new Terra Firma suspension springs and shocks, new all-terrain radial tires, new brakes pads, rotors and calipers. During this service, all hubs were rebuilt with new seals.
