Many showed up Friday afternoon from as far away as Michigan. A large number vendors did well with their used parts, too. George Maattala brought in a 109” with a six-cylinder Chevrolet engine for sale plus a truckload of parts. Garrett 4th Bourgue came in with a 109” lengthened to 140” (wheelbase) with a Ford drivetrain, loaded with Land Rover parts. On Saturday morning, the first tech session was by Les Parker of Rovers North on the electrical system of the Series Annual Land Rovers, followed by Alan Richer on overhauling the windshield wiper motor units. These units are loaded with small springs, washers and other small parts that have to go in exactly to the right place with special grease that cost All-Metal $150.00 a tube. The third session was by Tom Bache on solid button head aluminum rivets. These were hammered in with an air gun tooled with special mandrel, which conforms to the rivet head. Late in the afternoon, an adventurous Mike Flye led a Dash group of Rovers green laning (off-roading). His first attempt had a gate across at the far end. This could have been easily bypassed, except Garrett’s 140” was not designed for sharp maneuvers. Upon returning to the start, another route was Rover selected. This, once again, was very good for some distance until they approached a very low place that the beavers had flooded. Due to the Land Rovers not being equipped with snorkels or drivers’ courage, they again returned to the highway. Meet Mike, still determined to green lane to a restaurant, led a third attempt. This one got them through, but after dark. The remainder of the evening was spent back at the site around a campfire. Story & Photos by: Don Flye On Sunday there was a short breakfast run, then back for more socializing and trading of parts. ______! ______

I recently purchased when owning a Range Rover Classic. Perhaps 1993 is the best model an Alpine White 1993 Range Rover Classic short wheelbase. How year for the short wheelbase, as it has the benefits of ABS and ETC exciting, until you hear what I paid for it. It’s an $1,100 Range Rover without the troublesome aging EAS. I’m trying to come up with a Classic. “I thought those were expensive, Mike.” A 175,000-mile figure on a repair that would potentially send this car to an early Range Rover Classic. “That’s no spring chicken, Mike.” A Range grave. When will we reach the point of diminishing returns? How Rover Classic that’s spent it’s entire tour of duty in the northern much do I love this Classic? reaches of Vermont. “Good from far, but far from good, Mike.” With Immeasurably. So, what’s it all about? What does this Range its leather seats and walnut dash, it still presents proudly enough Rover bring to my life other than high fuel consumption and the to take a date out to a respectable restaurant. For years, I’ve dreaded question of “what if?” It’s like no other car I’ve driven or been interested in Series Rovers; vehicles that are somewhat owned-and I’ve owned quite an embarrassingly high number for a straightforward to repair with simple hand tools, don’t have to be man of my age. What I like the most about driving it is the way it plugged in to a computer to be diagnosed, don’t depreciate faster makes me feel while driving it. When I drive my Range Rover, I feel than a concert Steinway falling from a skyscraper. like entitled royalty. It has that certain “je na sais quoi” of making its Speaking of which, Range Rover Classics are certainly attainable driver feel superior to other motorists surrounding him or her. While these days, but you should scrutinize over each example you look at speaking to some fellow Classic enthusiasts the other night, we all because a so-called value may end up costing you down the road. Are agreed, that until you drive one on a regular basis, you really can’t Range Rover Classics a better value now than ever? In 1993, mine grasp the aura this car beholds. I’ve heard the following: “All Range had an MSRP of about $44,500 when it rolled off its showroom floor Rovers are cars, but not all cars are Range Rovers.” Narcissistically, I (literally, it was the display model). At the time of registration, the admire my reflection while driving my Range Rover past those shiny local Department of Motor glass-faced contemporary Vehicles taxed me based on office buildings in town. its book value, roughly “Make way for the king of $3,500. (remember to ‘Vermontistan’ in his 1993 watch out for the falling Range Rover Classic!” pianos...) How on earth Enough about my did these cars depreciate overly-inflated ego while so much? driving the Range Rover; it’s Let’s take a look at also great for loading up what it takes to keep one with friends and heading of these discreet status out to dinner in style. indicators on the road and This late Range Rover in service. According to my Classic just might be my rudimentary calculations, favorite Land Rover. after commuting in it From its formidable everyday for about a month, it gets a magnificent 12.5 mpg. A Range driving height, I feel like I’m towering over all the other motorists on Rover Classic will never be mistaken for a Prius. Thankful, for the an imperial level. Like riding in a palanquin on the back of a planet we live on, I’ve been militant about my recycling chores lately. pachyderm, I feel safe. All nonsequitors aside, the Classic’s timeless The Range Rover’s so-called fuel economy is a “value” in a distorted design looks “just right;” think of it as Goldylocks. The other night, way. I like to think about it like this: it has twice the number of I parked it in front of my Burlington condo and stood admiring it for cylinders than my Series and multitudes more horsepower and speed. almost five minutes. My neighbors must consider me mad. The The Range Rover cruises effortlessly at 70 mph, whereas my 109” Classic looks smart, and its exterior styling remained largely once saw a record speed of 62 mph on a steep downhill, a unchanged from its debut in 1970 till the end of its production in frightening experience altogether. The Range Rover is all-wheel-drive 1995! There’s no mistaking my Range Rover for any other SUV all the time, whereas the Series is in rear-wheel-drive during most of resembling a melted cough drop, in any parking lot. its travels. What are some of the more expensive parts to replace? An It is chock-full-of-amenities. I routinely appreciate it’s factory ABS pump retails at about $1,200. What about the ABS valve block, fitted 120-watt a/d/s stereo with 6-disc CD changer (and which retails at around $1,500? (I hope that doesn’t decide to stop weatherband), walnut dash, heated windscreen, glass sunroof, functioning, especially since this Classic weighs in at 4,401 lbs.!) The puddle lamps in the bottoms of the doors, ABS, ETC, power windows viscous unit in the Borg Warner transfer case retails at about $1,600, (the three that work), power locks, and leather heated power seats not counting labour and other items that should probably be replaced (more on that later). One of my favorite luxuries is the auto-dimming at the same time - like the chain, gears and seals. At which point, it rearview mirror; it perfectly cuts the glare from those bothersome typically pays to replace the entire transfer box instead of fixing what’s HID headlamps. Its uprated suspension was genuinely put to the test broken. Corrosion is a constant battle in New England, especially the other morning as I swerved to avoid a motorist even less awake
31 than myself! The purposeful burble, at idle, emanating from its NRP out of town. I asked him how things went with my Range Rover, performance exhaust is wondrous, making the engine sound larger expecting to be amused by a memorable story or two. It went than its 3.9 liters. I love this Rover! something like this: “Well, funny you should ask because the By now, you’re certainly asking yourself “what’s wrong with it?” other night I was driving a bit faster than the posted limit on some Or, “He got suckered.” No, I’m afraid not. So what if three of the four unfamiliar country road and suddenly, while cresting a hill, the doors and power windows are operational? While the rear brights decided to extinguish themselves. Once I “turned off” the crossmember is a bit flaky, the car was repainted about two years brights using the stalk on the steering column, the headlamps worked ago and it’s had Genuine waterproof seat covers since its first owner again. So, I guess you don’t have brights anymore, but the rest of the took delivery. Seeing as I’m probably going to be the last owner car works perfectly and I even left some petrol in it for you. Thanks of this machine, now is the perfect time to enjoy the leather fit for for letting me drive it, and I know what you mean about that royal royalty. As soon as I drove it home for the first time, off came the seating position and that luxurious, unhurried feeling while you’re covers and I promptly cleaned and conditioned the well-preserved behind the wheel.” Note: The brights are back in service, after hides. While the transfer case prefers not to go into LO range, this replacing a 15 amp fuse. Classic’s been painstakingly maintained (e.g.: Amsoil synthetics all On a slightly darker note, the other day, my Range Rover around since day one) since new and has had a lot of recent work: stranded me mid-commute. It genuinely got stuck and I don’t mean heater core (quite a job, as half the dash must be removed), new off-road. Was this the end for my freshly acquired Range Rover? Our brakes lines and calipers all around, new Genuine HD springs and courtship was surely too young for that! To make a long story short Bilsteins, full NRP stainless steel performance exhaust system, K&N the parking brake got stuck ON, immobilizing me as I tried to pull out air filter, Hella Vision Plus headlamps, tune ups, fuel pump, liftgate, of a parking spot. A bit possessed on the part of my Range Rover, etc. All the stuff that makes owners sell these cars, usually at a considering the parking brake wasn’t applied when I parked it! The substantial loss. Heated power seats? Sure, it’s got them, but they shoes got jammed up against the inside of the drum and fell on the don’t work as the factory intended. floor upon removal of the drum. I’ll spare you the details of this Speaking of dodgy electrics, while I was in New York for the repair, but you can imagine I employed a rather cost-effective Thanksgiving holiday, I lent the keys to a friend visiting the area from approach.
32 Ever since I took delivery, the rear differential leaked. It leaked horrendously, reminiscent of a colander, thanks to all those quaint Vermont winters. Objectively, I filled it every other day. I kept using Amsoil synthetic gear oil, knowing that if it were to empty, at least its bearing and gears would be coated in lush synthetic lubrication. I took it to a local Land Rover specialist who drained the differential, cleaned it, coated it in thick marine-grade epoxy, and covered the epoxy in black paint, after allowing it to harden at room temperature for a few days; the perfect fix for my $1,100 Range Rover. Why not properly weld the axle case shut from the inside, and outside, whilst removing the rear differential? The labour bill for that job alone might cost more than what I paid for the entire Range Rover! That’s what makes these cars a great value. So long as you have an affordable source for quality parts, and you’re resourceful with your hands, these vehicles are a considerable value! Aside from its thirsty fuel habit and depreciation, this Rover is loaded to the gills with comfort and refinement, not to mention character that you just cannot put a price on. Is this Range Rover restorable? Surely, but it’s also replaceable! If something goes horribly wrong or it rots out beyond recognition, I’ll part it out and gladly buy a replacement. These cars aren’t nearly as restorable as a Series or Defender, seeing as they have more complex systems and some of the interior and exterior bits are no longer in production. In the meantime, mine will have a nice retirement, driving me to and from Rovers North. As for yourselves, go out and buy a Range Rover Classic. Once you take it home, acquaint yourself with all of its systems and stay on top of the maintenance. This isn’t a vehicle that only requires its owner to perform oil changes and a full tank of fuel. If you are balking at the fuel consumption bill, this probably isn’t the right car for you. Find a well-sorted example, or you’ll only condemn my recommendation. As for me, owning this Range Rover Classic is quite an upgrade in luxury from my 109” military. I can’t say that for a daily driver I’ll be back in my Series anytime soon. Let the Sisyphean task of Land Rover ownership and maintenance continue… ______! ______
