1995 Range Rover LWB/Soft Dash Classic w/300tdi diesel & R380 5-speed - very pretty!



    We are just wrapping up this 1995 Long Wheelbase Range Rover this week,   it has a low-mileage 300tdi that we went ahead an put a new timing belt in as well as new clutch/ engine seals/ etc.    Has new fluids of course,  so come and get it and you are good for the next 60K miles until you need to service this truck.

   This Rover is a 1995 'Soft Dash Classic'  in 'Cornish Cream'  -   Sort of an off-white.   The body on this truck is super-nice.    Truck came out of Texas and therefore has absolutely no rust.   There is one very tiny ding at the very rear of the truck, down low,  just in front of the rear bumper, very hard to see,   other than that the body is perfect!   Truck has not been detailed yet as of these pictures being taken, I will update photos later.     Truck chassis has 140K miles on it,   engine and gearboxes have just over 90K,  but as I mentioned have just been serviced and will be good for 100-150K more miles before anything serious will have to be done, provided you take care of maintenance.

   Interior is very nice too,   but seats are a bit faded.   Slightly lighter than 'tan' leather,   I think they may be referred to as 'parchment' -?    Headliner is nice,   dash is perfect,  everything works (windows/ seats/ etc)  -   I have a complete set of black leather non-power (manual) seats I may try to swap in to see if they look nice -    Otherwise these seats are nice and will look better after truck is detailed.

    Engine is super-string and truck starts, runs, drives and stops as it should.     EAS Air Suspension is still in place and working fine albeit a little slow when it first raises up.     I can swap out for solid springs/ shocks if you prefer,  $1000-$2000 more depending on what brand you would like to go with.

   Not sure what else to tell you about the truck -  As you know you can not find a 300tdi-Range Rover in the states unless you build one yourself.   This is how they come in the rest of the world, and they run and drive great!  Tons of torque off the line,  will cruise all day at 75-80MPH, and return 30MPG or better on the freeway.       Very cool driving a Range Rover with a stick shift, too!

   Stereo sounds great.    Still factory with subwoofer and CD changer in the rear.
