Background and history

Range Rover Vogue SE 3.9 from 1990 belongs to the later part of the Classic generation and combines comfort with robust off-road engineering. The aluminium 3.9-litre V8, permanent four-wheel drive and solid axles on coil springs deliver a characteristic driving feel and make the model sought after among connoisseurs.

The car is said to be in original condition to correct specification, with several important wear items recently replaced with original parts.
