Highlights

Desirable early two-door Range Rover

Striking period-correct Bahama Gold paintwork

Subject to some recent restoration and refurbishment amounting to well in excess of €31,000


Heralded by many as the first sports utility vehicle (SUV), the Range Rover cleverly catered for the demand for a luxuriously appointed off-roader. Up until its launch in 1970, 4x4s had typically been utilitarian affairs that weren’t suitable for regular on-road use. The Range Rover changed all that and has since become an enormously successful global brand in its own right.

As a result, early examples such as this well presented ‘Suffix G’ are now immensely sought-after amongst classic car collectors. Having undergone recent refurbishment and restoration, this V8-engined two-door Range Rover really looks the part, resplendent in its Bahama Gold paintwork. We understand it to be in good mechanical order as well, so is ready for its next adventure.
