JLR continue to utilise the heritage with the launch of Range Rover Reborn. the latest model to emanate from its Classic division
The Rétromobile Salon in February this year saw the world debut presentation of the next in the Reborn series of expertly sourced and comprehensively restored Classic Land Rovers.
Capturing the imaginations of the world’s automotive media at the annual classic car show in Paris, the factoryrestored 1978 three-door Range Rover Classic builds on the successful introduction of the Land Rover Series I Reborn project that was introduced last year.
Finished in the oh-so-seventies but period correct colour of Bahama Gold, the 3528 cc V8 Zenith-Stromgberg 175CD type engine has been overhauled to develop its original 132 bhp (at 5000 rpm) and 186 lb ft of torque (at 2500 rpm) through a four-speed manual transmission.
The new programme, which will restore an initial ten examples of the luxury SUV, gives customers the opportunity to buy an original and highly collectible vintage Range Rover, direct from Land Rover Classic in the UK.
