1973 | Land Rover Range Rover Classic 3.5

2024 finished sympathetic conservation including respray, retaining as much originality as possible.
Even the windscreen is original, with "Triplex Laminated" sticker intact, as well as a road tax sticker from 1976!

Letter from first owner's daughter where she confirms her father bought the Range Rover new in 1973. He appreciated the car's power and reliability, as well as off-road capability.
Towing capability was useful when he transported building materials and house moving loads.
The car was also used in his work for the town of Mikkeli.
Many repairs and most services were performed by himself.
Most longer drives were made to the family summer cottage not far away, and the car never ventured further than 300 kms from home, thus the low mileage. Always stored in dry heated garage.

Current mileage reads under 37000 kms, although the owner took excellent care of the car he didn't fix the speedometer stopped working over 20 years ago. Now rectified, the problem was not in the speedo or the cable but a small toothed gear inside the transfer box, a part that was not easy to find.

The owner had a valid driver's license until 90 years of age, but stopped driving in the age of 85 in 2017.
Every yearly technical control made until then, all the ones on file since 2001 are without any remarks of faults.
Considering Mr Seppänen retired from his work in the early 90's, the discussions with his daughter and the local MOT officials, as well as the car's condition -we are confident to claim the total mileage is under 60000 kms.
