1991 Range Rover Restomod
Basic information and history
- One-off 1990 Range Rover Vogue resto mod
- Complete renovation carried out by Timeless Garage, Portugal
- Barely 3300km since the renovation was completed
The company that built the car is known for its incredible quality and detail oriented restomods of Porsche, Land Rovers, Rolls Royce and more. The car can be seen on their website here. The car that Timeless Garage set their teeth in on this case is a coveted Range Rover Classic 3.9L V8. All restoration is carefully documented. A metal owner's plaque with André Lotterer and a board with a design sketch of the car are included.
A so-called "backdate" has been carried out to achieve an older look with a matte black lacquered metal front with vertical valve intakes, a matte black lower "protection plate" in metal, black lacquered bumpers and a updated tank cap. New Blaupunkt retro stereo with Bluetooth and separate subwoofer is also installed.
Already in the 50s, thoughts and plans began for Rover to build a more user-friendly passenger car variant of the solid Land Rover all-terrain vehicle. It was not until 1966 that work began on the new vehicle, inspired by the success that Jeep and Ford, among others, had with their off-road capable passenger cars. In 1970, the first Land Rover was presented and was supposed to be the perfect vehicle for landowners, however it was soon seen that the interest in the model was also among city dwellers. Today, the Range Rover is more common in the city than in the country, and it is easy to understand the desire to drive one on a daily basis. A solid luxury car that can handle almost everything that both the practical family wagon and the raw off-roader do. In October 2021, the fifth generation Range Rover was introduced and the car is today a benchmark for all luxury SUVs.
