  • This Range Rover Classic was found in a forest in the Limousin region of France, rescued and stored in a barn.
    Can it be put back on the road or is it too late?

    Being a woman that doesn’t know much about car renovations , I find this project fascinating. You can count on me to follow your adventure, Phil! ❤

    Being the daughter of a 'shade tree mechanic', I'm looking forward to seeing you progress with this project. My brother and I were raised working on vehicles with our father, from our teens on we spent many a day together restoring old cars we'd pulled out of fields and out of moldy old barns and garages. Our crowning achievements were a 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS and a 1967 Mercury Cougar XR7. His favorite was a 1957 International Harvester S-110 pickup truck which was the only one he kept, mine was the Chevelle. The Cougar went on, after we sold it, to become a show car since it was all original. Miss those days and I'll enjoy watching you bring back the Range Rover!

    This will make a wonderful estate construction vehicle. Because it is already dented, you don't worry about future dents. Get the engine running, semi-water tight, get the heat, wipers and defrost working, lights and blinkers. The upholstery will be easy with OEM cover kit and hog rings. Then keep it as is with the dents. Replacing the arches and floor panels would be a good idea too. *Just remember to take many pictures when disassembly.
