1982 RANGE ROVER VIP CEREMONIAL VEHICLE
Registration No. RHL 253X
Chassis No.11652
Engine No. To be advised
Black with black interior and glass viewing platform.
Engine: Vee-eight, overhead valves, 3528cc, 178bhp at 4750rpm; Gearbox with combined transerbox, eight forward and two reverse ratios; Brakes: servo assisted discs all round; Suspension: radius arms, Panhard rod and coil springs to front, rear dual rate coil springs. Right-hand drive.
Rover announced the all-new Range Rover in 1970, after four years of development, produced a vehicle combining the ruggedness and versatility of the Land-Rover with handling and capability equal to a high-performance saloon. It was powered by the well proven 3.5 litre Vee-eight and was just about capable of 100 mph. Since then the Range Rover has established itself as a world leader among four-wheel drive, off-road dual-purpose vehicles with a respectible open road capability.
This bespoke ceremonial version, believed to be one of only two built to this specification, was delivered to RAF Rudloe Manor in April 1982 and then extensively used for VIP duties during the next ten years.The chauffeur's compartment has a fixed roof and the VIP compartment had four seats (two x two facing each other) with blue velour covering and a detachable glass roof.
The vehicle is in good condition, is finished in black, with chromium plated bumpers and handrail. There is a pair of amber lights in the radiator grille, which are presently disconnected. Mechanically this Range Rover is standard, with a manual gearbox, and has covered only about 46,000 miles. One extra feature being a police-calibrated speedometer, highly accurate up to a maximum 40mph.
The Range Rover would be an ideal show exhibit, or could equally effectively be used for more general duties. It is sold with a V5 Registration document.
