Vehicle description
1989 Range Rover Classic SWB for sale. I purchased this Rover with plans to completely restore the vehicle and install a diesel engine in place of the tired gasser. Classic Range Rovers with 200 and 300 Tdi diesel motors were manufactured and marketed for sale in the UK but not in the US. Much work has been performed on the vehicle over time. The fully rebuilt mechanical 300 Tdi engine was shipped from the UK along with a rebuilt transmission from Ashcroft transmission. Also purchased were new turbo, starter, alternator, fuel injection pump, fuel lift pump, up-rated inter-cooler, larger radiator and fan, dual battery system. After replacing the gas engine with diesel engine and transmission replacement done from Auto Group of San Antonio, LTD (British 4x4), I installed an ARB front bar, Terra Firma shocks and springs, Baja Rack (which is able to accommodate a rooftop tent), rock sliders, multiple gauges (digital EGT, analog Boost Pressure, engine coolant temperature, engine oil pressure and voltmeter). A glow plug warmer is also installed. The truck runs, drives and shifts great! Not the fastest vehicle in town (tops out at about 65-70 mph on the freeway) but would be fun in the mountains and is definitely a strong start to a great Overland vehicle. The frame is rust free.
Work to be done: Needs complete interior restoration, kick panels/floor boards on driver and passenger side need replacement (very common on these trucks and replacement panels can be ordered online), needs exterior paint and trim finish, air conditioning system, speedometer cable, sunroof (was considering welding it shut but could be refurbished if desired).
The Rover will come with many extra parts and accessories, such as: new additional alternator, additional starter, TJM recovery jack and various odds and ends. The motor & transmission currently have less than 1,000 miles on them. This Rover just needs attention and love. It is difficult to see it go but no longer have the time to commit to the project and must move on. Truly a rare item in the states and mechanically in excellent shape. Thanks for viewing
