A 1992 Land Rover Range Rover Classic two-door with a 3.9-liter V8, a five-speed manual and a refurbished interior is offered for sale after a varied history across Spain, India and the US.

A 1992 Land Rover Range Rover Classic two-door, fitted with a 3.9-liter V8 and a five-speed manual transmission, is being offered for sale after a life that took it from Spain to India and eventually to the United States. The left-hand-drive example was imported to the US in 2024 following a refurbishment in India, and it has since been refinished, re-trimmed and entered in The Bridge car show in Bridgehampton, New York, in September 2026.
The body has been refinished in brown, with black-finished bumpers applied after bodywork. Mud flaps and aftermarket headlights sit at the front, a revised front bumper has been fitted, and a wiper is positioned above the rear window. Flaws along the body are pointed out in the photo gallery. The truck rides on black 16-inch steel wheels wrapped in 235/75 Hankook Dynapro AT2 tyres, with shocks and coil springs at the suspension and disc brakes at all four corners. According to the seller, the anti-lock braking system has been removed.
Inside, the cabin has been re-trimmed in beige upholstery with brown piping, covering front bucket seats and a rear bench. Brown trim lines the dashboard, which houses an analogue clock, while woven mats cover the front footwells and a wood shift knob has been installed. A Land Rover Classic infotainment system with navigation, Bluetooth, and USB and auxiliary ports sits in the centre stack, and the pedal pads were replaced in 2025. The air conditioning does not work properly. The two-spoke steering wheel wears a brown wrap and frames a 200 km/h speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level.
The odometer shows 278,000 kilometres, roughly 173,000 miles, with about 1,000 kilometres added under the current owner, who acquired the vehicle in 2024. Factory-equipped with a VM turbodiesel, the car was later fitted with the 3.9-liter V8 under previous ownership, and an aftermarket air filter has been added. Rust is visible on the exhaust manifolds, and corrosion is present on underside components. Power reaches all four wheels through a five-speed manual that the seller identifies as a ZF unit, backed by a dual-range transfer case with viscous coupling.
Mechanical work carried out in January 2025 included rebuilding the rear differential and replacing the differential pinion seal and swivel-ball housing gaskets. The following year, the steering damper, rear trailing arm bushings and rear shocks were replaced, along with the front brake rotors, pads and calipers. Fluid leaks are noted in a service list shown in the gallery.
The vehicle comes with a repair manual and a Carfax report that shows no accidents or other reported damage, with entries beginning in 2024. The Pennsylvania title is in the seller’s name and is recorded as a duplicate, listing the model year as 1993 rather than 1992.
