If you're in the market for a classic SUV that still looks and drives as it did back when it left the factory, then this Range Rover Suffix 'A' should be on your list.

There's a big 'but', however, that needs to be taken into consideration: it's SilverstoneAuctions estimated selling price of £ 40,000-£ 46,000 (US$ 52,088-59,901) or about as much as a brand new Range Rover Velar.


A big chunk of that cash went to a body-off restoration performed by the vendor after it was purchased in 2014. The work included the 3.5-liter V8 engine, suspension, brakes, new rubbers fitted to the windows, and a whole other bunch of stuff that eventually led to a bill in the region of £ 20,000 (US$ 26,044), which is why it's in almost perfect condition to this day.

Interested bidders should know that this Range Rover left the factory in 1972, and it was registered in the same year in Dorset, UK, who kept it for 3 years, before it moved to North Wales. Its third owner bought it in February 1994 and held on to it until October 2013.

The auction takes place this weekend, on July 29-30, in The Wing building, at the Silverstone track.
