This 1973 Range Rover Classic 2-Door Suffix "B" is our 5th 2-Door restoration and by far our best yet. The entire restoration process took 11 months to complete. This is a literal nut and bolt, frame-off restoration with nothing on this Rover going untouched. This means that this RRC has ZERO rust on it. We strove to keep this Rover as original as possible using as many original and new/old stock parts as possible. Currently located in Daytona Beach, Florida with a clean Florida Title. This Rover features;
-Original 3.5L Petrol Rover V8-Original Left-Side Drive (very rare)-Less than 75,000 Original Miles-All Matching Numbers-Fully functioning A/C installed by Land Rover dealership in 1975-Currently the oldest RRC 2-Door for sale in North America-Custom-made headliner, upholstery and carpets in accordance with original material/color

We drove it from our shop in Guatemala to our sister shop in Daytona Beach, Florida with no (zero, zilch, nada) problems.
The Cons
-The passenger window and rear window have scratches we decided to keep them because they were original-The windscreen does have two small chips (no cracks). Again we kept it because it is original-The light covers (front and rear) have cracks and ware but they are original Lucas lights which again, why we decided to use them rather than after market lights.
Vehicle History
This vehicle was originally made for export (hence the left-side-drive) and was imported originally from England to El Salvador. It had two owners prior to our purchase of it (06/15) on the 45th Anniversary (to the day) of the release of the Range Rover. It was drivable when we bought it and had been in no serious accidents prior and had very little rust on the under carriage and astonishingly no rust on the frame (the vehicle was garage kept by both owners). We drove it back to our shop in Antigua, Guatemala and commenced on an 11 month frame-off restoration. The very little amounts of ware on the engine found during the rebuild confirmed the accuracy of the odometer. Once completed we drove it from Guatemala to Daytona Beach, Florida where it was then legally imported and given a clean Florida Title.
