HighRange'86 EFI Range Rover

Simon's Series I

Simon Manchester's pride and joy is his series 1 Landrover.  I'm still not sure exactly which part is from a Series 1, but the chassis, motor and drive train are all from a 1970's Range Rover.

The chassis has been cut to a 90" wheelbase, and 14" cut off the back, resulting in NO rear overhang!  Series guards are used where possible and the rest is alloy chequer plate.

The axles are fitted with ARB lockers front and rear and turn 35" BGF's.  The gearing is stock, giving it a scary top speed, but very little in the way of low down crawling capabilities.
Simon's great passion of for "flying" over the sand dunes at Cape Palliser, Wellington.

Simon and his partner Andrea were our team mates for the Kauri Coast Safari.
