Wind Back Time
1993 Range Rover 3.9 Vogue SE
Specifications
Description
The Range Rover might not have been the first luxury off-roader - that honour probably went to the Jeep Wagoneer - but in Europe, it soon became the most recognisable of the lot.
And for many, that means it's still the instigator of the luxury SUV as a breed. But what makes the Range Rover so special is that it has remained an utterly classless conveyance, despite the negative public image of many newer rivals.
In fact, it became ever-more luxurious and its appeal remained undimmed during a 25-year run.
The first-generation Range Rover is one of those classic Range Rovers where the values are all over the place, presenting something of a conundrum for the potential purchaser. And that’s where this particular 1993 Vogue SE comes in, because as a low mileage survivor, it represents a more affordable prospect than a freshly-restored example and comes with all the advantages of the later Range Rovers including the 3.9-litre injected V8 and updated dashboard, plus the automatic box.
It’s sometimes suggested by Range Rover buffs that the pick of the range is the late-model car which received all the technical updates but which immediately precedes the ‘soft dash’ model, and this is just such a vehicle.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- Finished in blue, it looks absolutely superb with excellent original paintwork.
- This is a true low-mileage survivor.
- Central locking
- New Running Boards.
- Reverse Camera
- Tinted Glass all round
- Blue tooth radio
- New Grille
- Inside, the leather-trimmed cabin is just as smart and again, belies the true mileage of just under 107,000 Miles.
- The improvements to trim, switchgear and detailing which were given to the Range Rover late in life really do make a difference and the cabin ambience is very different from the early two-doors or even the first of the four-door cars.
- The chunky switches will be familiar to anyone who knows their mid-‘80s Rover products, but this was an era when the firm was becoming known for the distinctive style of its interiors and that’s no bad thing.
- Being the Vogue SE model, this example also benefits from a smattering of wood veneer trim which further lifts it from those rubber-matted early cars, while the electric seats also work perfectly and there’s the bonus of that much-missed ‘80s feature, the sunroof.
- Powered by Rover’s ex-Buick V8 and using chassis technology similar to the Land Rover's, its off-road ability is beyond reproach, while the hose-clean interior proved just the ticket for those with an active lifestyle.
- Styling is so lean that the Range Rover is at home in the politest places.
- Heaps of servicing records available - very well maintained Vehicle.
- A far better example then most other examples of this model out there.
For an original example of this standard and also so very usable, it represents a solid investment as prices of these vehicles climb ever upwards.

Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
