*****************************************RANGE ROVER FLM PANELCRAFT RETRO REPLICA INFO***************************************
If you are like me and you LOVE the style, performance, capability and legacy of the Range Rover Classic, then you will no doubt appreciate this Range Rover Panelcraft Custom Replica Retro, which has all of the distinction you could ever ask for with one of these. What a journey I have had with this Range Rover Classic. It has been a real labor of love and I feel it shows in the detailed parts selection and fitting. I really love this car and it has been an absolute pleasure to own, build and drive. My three children have enjoyed the distinction of being know as "The cool car family" kids. I have enjoyed the countless people giving me the thumbs up, other Land Rover enthusiasts tracking me down for questions and those who want to have their picture taken with it- yes there have been a few. Its even been featured on Range-Rover-classic dot com website as a true one of a kind car. So with heavy heart and a kind hand Im offering this car for sale.
This vehicle is an absolute pleasure to drive. It is a great everyday car and has a new rebuilt bullet prof Land Rover V-8. As I have mentioned, I have spent a great amount of time and money sourcing parts from the 25 years of production run-1970 Velar-1994- for the Range Rover Classic. I cant wait to drive it everyday, and the first thing I look at- after my wife and three kids- is this car sitting in the parking pad. It all started when i saw a 1970 Range Rover 2-door.
Being a 1988 SWB Its the closest car to the original Range Rover Classic 2-door. The wheel base, chassis, motor, all exterior panels are identical so it was a excellent platform in which to start. 2-Door Range Rovers are the original and it wasn't until 1979 that they started making them in 4-door with the same wheel base. You could have the car converted to 4-door prior by various coach builders and that why I choose the FLM Panelcraft car to base my build on. I researched this 1977 Panelcraft 4-door conversion Range Rover for about 6 months before I started my search for parts.
Aesthetics:
I had a blast finding parts on various sites. All my period correct parts are from 1977 or older Range Rovers from the UK, so I began on eBay dot Uk and worked my way through other UK online parts suppliers such as Holden, John Craddock and Britishparts to name a few good ones. I first tried to get parts from US sources but most only sold 1988 parts; the first production year sold in the US market, All parts are Genuine Range Rover parts and mostly New Old Stock. It was a delight to recieve a new part. All parts are UK spec, no North American Spec at all and what a parts list.
I started with all 1977 or earlier period correct parts and the first was The Rostyle Wheels, and its rolled from there. These exterior parts included: Raised metal period correct letters on front hood and back tailgate spelling R-A-N-G-E--R-O-V-E-R, Wingard Bonnett Mirrors (NOS), aluminum vertical slotted grill, aluminum head light surrounds, 1977 steel bumper, UK spec side marker lights/housing (NOS and very rare), Scuttle (Range Rover) aluminum badges, exposed gas cap housing (NOS), gas cap (NOS), rear brake/turn signal lights and housing (NOS), By Land Rover aluminum Badge period correct and NOS, and the last exterior part was the extremely hard to find Drop down aluminum License plate holder. With all these parts on it looked amazing and absolutely period correct. Now for the interior.
This was interesting. Where the exterior required mostly unbolt and bolt on the new old stock parts the interior required some rewiring and thats always interesting on a British Car. While its not complete, I began with these period correct parts: The three spoke steering wheel, Radiomobile radio, Speedometer/Gas/Water Temp Binacle dash, period correct steering cover with period correct signal switches, headlight switches and wiper switches. A complete new center lower dash with Oil gauge, Clock, Oil Temp gauge, and Voltage. The lower dash also included the Heater switches and period correct heater switch cover and instructional plate on how to engage the center locking differential. The interior Spare tire cover is a crazy hard to find NEW OLD STOCK (NOS) Vinyl tire cover. At this point I required a bit of research as to what to do with the power window switches and the auto selector. After painstakingly searching the web, I found a Company that used to covert manual Range Rovers to Automatic transmission. I actually found the period correct gear selector cover!! That was an awesome find. In regards to the power window switches, I based my box on the PanelCraft 4-door conversion that also featured power windows and made the exact same box that houses the switches. At this point, I felt it time to address the motor. For this I could rebuild it to be an efficient reliable motor.
I completely rebuilt the 3.5L; period correct, engine down to the block. For this new parts where sourced from Atlantic British and these included New: pistons, piston rods, Bearings, cam, planing the block and heads, steering pump, oil pump, water pump, timing chain, tappets, and all nuts, bolts and belts. The motors produces 150-155 BHP. The car is heavy and its not fast but the motor has been restored to factory specs and has a ton of torque. Its extremely smooth motor and runs so nice. It currently has 4,982 miles on the new motor. I used break in oil for the proper amount of miles and then changed it to Conventional 10W40 and I suggest you do the same. Its a older designed motor and synthetics are- and this sounds funny- too slippery. Ive always used Amsoil in my other cars but for conventional I recommend, Castrol or Mobile. I have babied this car so there has never been and off roading, I know its capable, but I wanted this for the looks not the capabilities. When I removed the engine I used POR15 satin black To treat the interior firewall and chassis. POR is fantastic and is used to prohibit rust from developing. The body is good and straight.
All the exterior panels are aluminum. The hood and tailgate being the exception. No rust on them. The floor pan on driver side and passenger side have two small holes that will need to be addressed in the future but I cleared it of rust and used POR15 for the floor pans to prevent more erosion. One thing Im not is a welder, but again its not in need of replacing immediately. I have constantly kept vigil with POR15 on the chassis and all Metal parts. The chassis is in excellent condition straight and true
On the chassis, I have replaced the four coil springs, all rear bushings, new panhard rod bushings rear, all front bushings, new panhard rod bushings front, steering linkage, new pitman arm, new lower tie rod ends, new upper tie rod end, new steering box, new steering damper and tires.
I have identified just about all of the facts regarding improvements made but I am happy to answer any questions that you may have as well. As a Range Rover Classic enthusiast and collector please ask any question. I enjoy answering them.
I am confident that this vehicle will serve you no matter what your plans are for it and as it is one of a kind, it will do so with all of the distinction and performance that no other Range Rover Classic has! It has been a part of my family and we all will greatly miss it, but its time for someone else to enjoy it and continue its legacy, its ongoing.

Weekly Recap: Ford GT inspires guitar, foosball table, sailboat
Sat, Apr 18 2015Ford design vice president Moray Callum had just wrapped up a briefing on the interior of the Ford GT last month, but something seemed out of place. He grinned and pointed behind him, "You might be wondering why I have a boat behind me," he said mischievously. It was there because Ford set its designers on a mission to stretch and showcase their talents: design non-automotive objects inspired by the interior of the GT supercar. Callum received quite a response, too. His team produced a guitar, a foosball table (yeah bro!), a racing sailboat, a Wi-Fi speaker and some furniture. As the veteran design chief explained, "It's a really great exercise both to highlight our designers' talents, but also to really see how our design philosophy can work and how you can use it and get a common response back from a worldwide design team." Guitar View 25 Photos The objects have been on display this week at the Salone del Mobile furniture and fashion design fair in Milan, Italy, where Ford has had a presence for three years. There's also a light exhibition that apparently was inspired by the GT, as well. While this might seem a little far-fetched for the automaker, Ford said exhibitions like the Salone del Mobile give its designers another way to be creative and ultimately produce striking interior style. Ford wants this to be a differentiator, as research shows consumers are placing emphasis on the layout and features inside when they're making a decision about buying a new car. It's a little light hearted – but it's also potentially big business. Other News & Notes Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for Buick General Motors product chief Mark Reuss said the Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for a large Buick, though "not yet," Automotive News reported. The underpinnings can accommodate rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and would give Buick the large flagship it lacks. The report jibes with comments Reuss made at a roundtable with Autoblog and other reporters at the New York Auto Show. When asked if Buick had space for a large car on the CT6 chassis, he replied, "Yeah, I think it does. Yeah, I think we do." Buick has revamped its lineup in recent years with attractive crossovers and small and midsize sedans, but hasn't added the proverbial flagship that's yearned for by enthusiasts. Buick surprised industry observers with the stylish Avenir concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year that raised the possibility of a halo sedan.
Editors' Picks, May 2023: Some Subarus and a pair of luxury SUVs
Thu, Jun 1 2023The month of May saw a number of new vehicles jump into the pool of Editors' Picks. Subaru grabbed a pair with its brand-new generation of Crosstrek for 2024, and the Legacy earns one in the ever-shrinking midsize sedan segment. In the luxury space, we have one entry from Britain and one from here at home. The new Range Rover already got an Editors' Pick, but now the Range Rover Sport joins the ranks. The Corsair earned Editors' Pick status before its update, too, but now the refreshed version rejoins the ranks. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in May that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2023 Subaru Legacy 2023 Subaru Legacy View 15 Photos Quick take: The Legacy brings all-wheel drive with sedan dynamics to a shrinking segment, and it does so with a competitive price, respectable tech and tons of utility. Score: 7.5 What it competes with: Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5 Pros: All-wheel drive in every trim, spunky turbo engine, tons of space in the rear and trunk Cons: CVT makes for a dull drive, infotainment is clunky, styling is on the bland side From the editors: Associate Editor Byron Hurd — "Not everybody has abandoned sedans. Not only is Subaru keeping some of its eggs in this four-door basket, but it's dyeing them in some festive shades. The new turbocharged and tightened Sport model makes a great case for itself as a grown-up WRX without all the GT-themed nonsense. Shame about the CVT." In-depth analysis: 2023 Subaru Legacy gets Sport trim, more tech, fresh design  2023 Range Rover Sport Quick take: It may not be outwardly sporty, but the Range Rover Sport has a killer design, gorgeous interior, buttery-smooth driving characteristics and a clean tech interface.
