This is one ride we used to admire as kids. We used to say it could fly when it got to a bad spot.. because of its 4 wheel drive. There was no stopping it.

The first generation Range Rover is so hard to let go to the extent that the rich are still yearning for it.

This has made Land Rover to launch a program called “Range Rover Reborn“. With this program, you can now buy a completely restored version of the SUV at a price starting from $169,500 (N83million). Do you really think it’s worth it?

The one featured in our post is a Bahama Gold 1978 “three-door” Range Rover Classic that is fresh from the factory. 5-liter V8 carburetor engine yielding a mere 132 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque.

Tim Hannig who is the director of Land Rover Classic said, “this is to nurture the rich heritage of Land Rover and it’s a bit of clever marketing.”

Only an idiot will buy that

Only the rich,the well to do,and those who appreciate the beauty of a classic ride will buy this

Denn wld,if he has the money





If u don't appreciate the beauty of this stuff up there,,

u would have said same for the G-wagon and Land Rover defender.
let's just wait and see if it's true.


@ op, no pix to upload?

Ok




Let's wait for this and see how it goes

Too ugly for my hard earned money

I no kuku get money to waste

Even in this recession expect to find it in naija as soon as it hits the market,that's how we roll

Make I run go my mechanic...im get one way don park for im workshop for over 10yrs wey im wan sell...with this recession, boys brain dey work like computer

Am waiting

This is a towing vehicle in Ibadan

OP: Do you really think it’s worth it?

If you can afford it, it's worth it. Like a bag of rice that cost 20k. If you cant afford it, better settle for less or you wont eat.

I will buy the one used as a towing truck and sell to any money-miss-road here.

This does not resemble the Land Rover I used know I was expecting to see that Good old Land Rover.

Are they tired of new styles,

It's not about the looks, there's something about a classic car, only a few can appreciate it.
Just as a few gamers who will appreciate a "Gameboy" no matter how revised or modified it gets.

I still prefer the Defender

When the clock goes round the circle, it goes back to 1

Defender rocks. Just give me a black 2016 Defender and I'll stop mentioning Estharfabian for good.

Actually that is how life is, You run outta ideas then fall back to old school, then the future generation fall back to your own present ideas and the cycle continues

Past----present ----future ----present -----past

So satellites were put into orbit in space 'cos NASA remembered what, kites? What village did you say you were from again?

You are like me.

The article is about the Range Rover. This is the old Range Rover. I guess you are referring to the Land Rover Series and Land Rover Defender.

I prefer the Defender.


Land Rover Defender 110



Land Rover Series (Series 3).

Actually that is how life is, You run outta ideas then fall back to old school, then the future generation fall back to your own present ideas and the cycle continues

Past----present ----future ----present -----past

I expect them to come with something totally different from what am seeing,rebrand d car body, headlights, wheels n paintings,unless they haven't built it yet

Russia has been doing this to the lada since 1969

What is special about an old and expired car which has gone into extinction.

Very strong mop and the rebranding will be bad.

I'm making an order

.....and why is it so expensive? is it to rob the rich off their money or simply labelled them foolish that they can throw away money anyhow.

I don't understand.

....meanwhile, if you want a better of this model (antique though), you can get it in Owode-Onirin.

83 mili for this? What's da business.
I see this scrap everyday, If I have one I'll take it up north to p.imp it rather than drop that huge sum on this. Still nurturing the idea of pimping one of these vintage someday. Spoilers, rims, vinyls and all

Will get one soonest!
