The Range Rover Classic is the Original Two Door Range Rover

Land Rover recently revealed a coupe version of the Range Rover dubbed the Range Rover SV Coupe. Only 999 will be built -- and when they go on sale, each will cost close to $300,000, and it should bring with it an unprecedented level of luxury to the already luxury-oriented Range Rover brand, propelling it to the upper-echelon of automotive prestige.
But the SV isn't the first 2-door Range Rover. Way back when Range Rover came to market in 1970, it did so with the Series I -- and until 1981, it was only available in a 2-door bodystyle.
Range Rover didn't make it to the U.S. market until 1985 -- and when it did, it arrived with only the 4-door body style. I recently got to spend some time with a 1979 2-door Series I Range Rover that was imported from Northern Italy by Modern Classics, a boutique classic car dealership in Boise, Idaho, that specializes in rare and unique imported European cars.

I really love the rear number plate design. Very clever.

[@zorth42]

Why is this not doug???

[@joshua3027]

I love the back of the old Range Rover

[@gideonfinley3018]

A tip : you can watch movies at Kaldrostream. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

[@briggsnixon460]

@Gideon Finley definitely, have been watching on kaldroStream for years myself :)

[@Ruto_K]

I daily drive mine here in Nairobi. Got rid of the V8 and put in a 300TDI with 5 speed manual. Way more reliable and economical. Nice video.

[@ghettomist1575]

Ruto Kipkulei I was born in Nairobi.

[@yungdenzel6153]

I also own one in Nairobi sir. A 3.9 v8 Engine

[@DownWithTheWay]

Eh I think the engine in these cars are pretty reliable. I beat the shit out of mine when I was kid and didn’t know any better and it never stopped going.

[@jameslindley924]

When Touring in Hot Countries the 2 door was fantastic !- didnt need air con as you could open those big front windows and the rear sliders and its like most of the side is wide open bringing in vast amounts of Ram air when at speed !! its great to be so intouch with the outside

[@jameslindley924]

Wouldnt be seen dead in new Range Rover Coup or any Range Rover since 2 door Classic!
2 Door Classic is the best Range Rover ever produced! it was a Car for All Season and a Car for ALL Reasons, Practicality, Panache, Desireability, No Nonsense GO ANYWHERE CAPABILITY, THAT WILL LEAVE THE LATEST INCARNATIONS FOR DEAD OFF ROAD.

[@modernclassics4899]

Nice video. Very informative. Well done Chris!

[@clintford7079]

Modern Classics LLC I had a white 81 two door 20 odd years ago at uni. Almost identical. Wonderful car. I assume that is Fairey Overdrive?

[@teamscipio8293]

OK, I want one now

[@caballero9974]

Very nice Range Rover. Thank you for the video.

[@AutoTrader]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@alexandra6864]

would love to have one of these, but probably will never go that route because I’m more than certain that it would be too high maintenance like with all Range Rovers.

[@ruzzelladrian907]

The rear looks so stylish.

[@jameslindley924]

Dosent have a Rear Difflock Bud !!!
Only Centre Diff Lock in a Factory Car
Though ARB Lockers can be fitted or Rear Detroit Limited slip Diff as after market fitting

[@Janet71990]

What’s difference of the grille With vertical used 70s-80 81 82 83 84 85 86 and 87 model years in the🇬🇧🇺🇸?

[@josej.6329]

Now....no hate on the guy, I’ve seen skinny jeans. Those are on another level lol

[@jameslindley924]

You Set Off with the Overdrive engaged !! thats why the engine lugged down on set off.

[@tymtym5916]

احلى شي رانج روفر

[@Salman-sc8gr]

Refit the rear wiper in horizontal position, it is scratching the glass.

[@swank1975]

Great vehicles. If you don't work on your own vehicles and you were just introduced to the classic then it's not the right vehicle for you unless you have a mountain of cash to pay a qualified mechanic to keep up with it.

[@user-fz8ep5ey4v]

Coup is what chickens live in 😂

[@risingembersgaming7740]

The SV Coupe was just cancelled... I'd never see one anyway

[@jameslindley924]

lift the exhaust muffler up 75mm

[@kamar1814]

GOOD

[@spencermunson6044]

I fucking need this truck

[@tymtym5916]

السيارات الفديمة افصل وافوى من الحديثة منها جيب ويلز ورانج روفر وشفرولية 1954

[@stephaneg]

Nothing unique about it being a V8. They all were at that time. Nice video though. It introduces the very first luxury 4x4 to Americans.
