1995 Range Rover Classic SWB 4.2L Converted Introduction: Is it the BRAND NEW reupholstered Light-Stone factory leather seating front and rear? Is it the BRAND NEW luxury 5-Stage Epsom Green Repaint? Is it the BRAND NEW powdercoating on the OEM expedition rack and forward grill guard? None of those? Well perhaps then it’s the race inspired 4.2L conversion that got your attention. Or maybe the BRAND NEW complete set of race inspired rotors and brakes. Or maybe if not those… then perhaps… This dream Classic is undoubtedly going to be remembered as the best 95 Soft-Dash made available this year.

Your world-class, investment level 1995 Range Rover Classic has arrived and I invite you to enjoy the following description of this fantastic example!

Concourse Detail. $400 VALUE 19. CLEAN AND CLEAR CA TITLE in hand, excellent always CA CARFAX! Driving & Performance: She is AMAZING to drive, PERIOD. Previously owned by a California Highway Patrol officer, she HAD TO BE reliable at the drop of a hat when duty called. I knew I was starting with a platform to make something truly exceptional. How then? Well the answer there was clear. Start with the low-mile 4.2L that I had been saving for a truck like this and infuse a host of my tuning secrets to unlock all of her potential! She fires right up and whirs with Swiss-watch precision. She is quiet, smooth, tic/knock/overheating free with tons of available power. That said, every hour put on the motor the valve job continues to bed-in and open up – more and more powerful as time goes on. The transmission shift quality is EXCELLENT with no slippage, shudder, or hesitation at all. The Borg Warner transfer case is whisper quiet with no gearbox moans or whines – even as you push past 85mph on the motorways. Driving her here in LA during the recent unseasonal record heat, she was as cool as a cucumber – a function of the overhauled cooling system and my own personal touch – the 160 degree, triple bridge, single bypass thermostat. It’s the same one I race with and really takes care of the motor under the most demanding conditions. The Old Man Emu suspension system paired with GENUINE springs keeps her agile and comfortable. Steering is crisp and tight with ZERO wandering, shimmies or shakes. You can throw her pretty hard into a long looping freeway interchange and she just sticks – begging you to punch it for the apex. Of course, we’re not going to leave power unchecked – so the balance can be found in the race inspired brake upgrades I’ve fitted. With slotted and vented rotors in all corners, the enemy of all brakes (heat) is sent away leaving you with maximum stopping power. The organic sport pads are zero noise, minimal dust, super biting pads. This set up has under 100 miles on it and again, with every hour put on them, increases in power. If you need to, you can stand this truck on its head! I have also upgraded the alternator to 150A. This is in anticipation of you’re potential power needs. Whatever you want to put in it – upgraded entertainment, food storage, lighting – your power needs are COVERED. I LOVE the original Michelin XM+S tyres. They are the best looking and best performing for the Range Rover Classic. They are ghost-like quiet under all rolling conditions and coming from Southern California parts trucks – they have all been spared weather extremes and are in like new condition. Overall, driving her really evokes that sense of man and machine – she fits like a glove and responds instantly to driver input – the way it should be! Aesthetics & Operation: The feel of her is a total love affair. New leather seating – all the way around. The touch is calf-skin soft and the sensation is exhilarating. And yes, it smells like delicious new leather inside the vehicle. The cabin is EXCEPTIONALLY bright and luxurious and this is an indulgence that you have the honor of breaking-in and making your own! The Epsom Green refinish is velveteen smooth and undeniably reflective. I have shared as many pictures as possible in varied light to illustrate how 1) Factory Perfect the color is and 2) How nuanced and rich the tones are depending on ambient lighting. The OEM expedition rack and bull bar have also been refinished to complete the package and overall she is absolutely stunning. Up until recently, all envious eyes looked up to NAS Defenders of the same vintage. Now, the tables have turned and having passed several exceptional Defenders here in town over the last few weeks, you could easily see the lusting driver wishing that this fine vehicle was their own. All original finishing and materials are in excellent condition. The soft-dash is clean and knick free. The carpeting is still soft and clean. All door cards are tidy and sturdy. The wood work is clean and still rather dark but the center console tray exhibits typical tiger striping in the veneer. Pay close attention to the detailed photos of common stress areas – they are factory fresh and rust free. All bulkhead, floorpan, rear tray, arches and jambs… all clean and tight. The OEM Harmon Kardon Audio is crystal clear and powerful and the digital display on the head-unit is clear and displays numbers correctly. The headliner and factory floor mats are brand-new and from top to bottom, she feels (and even smells) like a new car. To that point, she has never been a smokers car and there are no lingering odors in the cabin or ventilation system. The AC is serviced just in time for the demands of summer and works BRILLIANTLY. Your exposed skin is freezing in minutes and thankfully, the heating works just as well to take the bite away! All lights, horns, blinkers, windows, handles, latches, etc work perfectly too. She also retains her original, unused jack and tools (with work cloth!); as well as OEM tool roll, full sized spare, owners manual, and Magazine Ad from 1995! Perhaps finally, the jewel of the 95 function is seat memory. And yes, it works perfect too. A little trick I have – I set position 2 to my driving taste. Position 1 is fully lowered, fully back – to create space for effortless vehicle exit and entry. Purchasing, Perspective & Why Buy From Me: Please read my outstanding feedback from folks like you! No one sends off a Land Rover or Range Rover better than me, PERIOD. It’s the vehicle I drive, and the vehicle I RACE. Nearly two decades of Rover ownership and service are poured into every Rover that I see into new hands. The commitment to service here is a commitment to my own passion and to a shared bond between enthusiasts. You wont find that anyplace else. Beware of any vintage Rover that does not share the same service points as the ones I advertise with my collection. They are ESSENTIAL for long term reliability and any Rover without these services are ticking time bombs. I am not a Land Rover tech that drives home in a Honda Civic. I come from a long line of British Car technicians and Live, Breathe and even RACE the green oval. I understand ALL of your concerns and needs and do my best to ensure that you will be happy based on a simple, yet powerful concept: DOES THIS VEHICLE MAKE ME HAPPY? WOULD I PUT MY WIFE AND BABY IN IT? WOULD I LOVE TO HAVE IT? The answer is always yes. And that’s when I know they are ready. I care. I know you do, too. To that point - watch out for copy cats. It has come to my attention that people claim they work with/partner with me. This is not truck. If you aren’t buying one from me… its, well, NOT from me!!! THE IDEA OF "NEW TO ME VS. A NEW CAR" I am VERY proud of each and every Rover that I hand select and hand-craft. As amazing as all of them are, i wouldnt ever say any of them are "perfect." None of them are and I have only used the term museum piece ONCE. And i am well aware of the qualifiers for that monicker. With each and every listing, i try to capture the flavor of what strikes me about each vehicle. I try to capture their essence. I try to make the description feel like a conversation between you and I, or even a phone call. Covering the general and intimate details that stand out to me. That said, we all know that while they are all Rovers, all made in the same place, each one is different. It is not possible to discuss every nut and bolt, but I have done my best to list and discuss what would matter to ME. Let me know what matters TO YOU. While she may soon be “new to you” she is “not new” and you should be prepared for all that is involved with owning a used vehicle. She is sold as-is. No more should be expected. That said, there is not ANYTHING that concerns me here and I truly believe her to be a reliable companion for as long as you have her. I invite you to ask ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS NOW! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE – ASK AWAY! There are no queries too obscure; your satisfaction is the goal here. Additionally, eBay offers a 3rd party inspection service to verify ALL of your acquisition needs IN PERSON. Purchase of the vehicle = SATISFACTION. Once this auction is over, the winning bid and purchase imply that satisfaction has been achieved and will be understood as such. This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION so you are bidding to win! Please make sure that you bid ONLY what you are prepared to pay. This means, when the auction is over, and the winning bid is placed, this becomes THE SALE PRICE of the vehicle. Under no circumstances does it open the door to negotiate or back out of your commitment. The people bidding for this vehicle actually want it. Do not spoil their chances at ownership by arm-chair bidding. Yes, everyone joins eBay at some point, and there is no prejudice against lower transaction numbers here – HOWEVER – if I suspect and/or become aware of any insincerity on the part of said bidder, I reserve the right to cancel all bids from and block that insincere bidder from this auction. Completion of this transaction is fairly straight forward. Once the auction is over, I will be contacting the winner immediately and we can discuss the easiest way to finalize the transition. Who is this truck for? Undoubtedly finished with the collector in mind, this vehicle is a must for any serious Land Rover enthusiast – veteran or newcomer alike. While she may soon adorn a fine multi-car collection, she is built to be driven!!! She is built to capture that freshness she had over 20 years ago – but dare I say she is built to be even better. There is a ton of new, fresh product for you to enjoy and grow with here. She could make an excellent high-holiday vehicle, estate guest vehicle, and executive feeling daily driver. Don’t miss out! This will certainly be the 95 Range Rover Classic that got away… unless of course you’re the lucky one who wins it! People always ask me: “Well how many others do you have coming down the line?” And the answer to that is NONE. 1995 Range Rover Classics are that rare now. Examples like this – very special. Stories of how far a Range Rover can go are legendary; the only question that remains now is how far will you go to bring this beauty home? Best of luck and as always, Happy Rovering!!!
