I'm planning to buy a 1987 Range Rover, any advice or experiences?

I'm planning to get a 2nd or even 3rd hand Range Rover 5 door as a project car. It won't be for daily driving, just a weekend car to have fun with. My model preferrence would be anywhere from 1987 to 89.

I'm not really asking where to buy but perhaps some of you (or your Dads) have some tips or experiences with 1980's Range Rovers.

Below is the 1987 5 door.

kasi ung dating may bigasan na nag-rerenta sa amin, may LR-defender siya, 3 pcs! pero converted to orig. rover diesel na.... full-restored at un ang pang hakot/deliver nya ng bigas!

tinanong ko kasi intriga ako sa defender nya..kaya nalaman ko.. pati din rover-mini may parts dun..

"rover-parts" ang tanda ko name nya! mahirap lang daw kung non-common, parts, iniimport.

Honestly,I never heard a good things about Range rover but if your wallet is thick then go for it.Maybe you can do a reseach online just to save you a headache.

di matunog ang RR..more to enthusiast talaga unlike the common cars we see on the road: sub- and compacts..

hi!

i restored a 3d 1977 range rover classic 2 years ago. beyond 1983 puro na 5 door ang RR if you plan to buy a 1987 model vogue na yan, headache ang electronics nyan super... but if you have the cash go for it. the ride is the best. i'm selling my rover by the way. its the one in my avatar
