- Life is too short for boring cars! I was wanting a more practical daily driver form carrying bikes and car parts without having to compromise for something boring I wasn't interested in. I picked up this restored Range Rover classic in Chamonix white with a 200 tdi manual

SURPRISE- I bought another car... the idea made a lot of sense. I’m really enjoying it to be honest! Let me know what you think
Absolute stunner 🤩🤩🤩🤩. Perfect classic style without pretension. Way better than the new models. Love the colour. Winner winner chicken dinner 🤩🤩🤩
Actually an unreal car, congrats!
Thanks dude I’m well happy with it!
Trailer +drag racing your life is complete 😉👊🏻
Nice solid tow bar! The thought has crossed my mind
oh boy!! i got mine same year, 3.9L V8 ,2 months ago and it sure is a head turner!!
Nice to hear! Hope you are enjoying it cos I am!
Unexpected but great! Love the back story on the car imagine the drugs that have been in it
It makes me laugh thinking about it
That looks fantastic. I built my Rc model on this old classic 👍
That’s awesome
Super clean for a 32 years old lady, good choice, and i'm agreeing with you, when you want to go biking, hunting or just do some offroad trip with friends, you can't use the M3 for that. I did the same two years ago, i bought an X5 E70 diesel as a daily, sometimes you have to make smart choices for the usual aspect of life. And by theway, i also love the white color on it, it changes from the green or black that we usualy see on Range Rovers.
Thanks yeah I agree I think it suits my outdoor life and I have my other cars to enjoy driving! I’m really happy I ended up with the white as I’d actually never owned a white car either!
It looks sick bro and what a car for your daily
I’m well happy with it bro ideal for proper everyday use and my outdoor things I like to do!
Great to see another younger RRC enthusiast!
Looks like a very good find that does! Very cool 😎
Thanks dude I think it was! Pretty local to me too which is always a bonus
Colour and stance is exceptional! Well done fella
Thanks a lot! I’m really enjoying it so far
What a beast bro 😎
Thanks bro!
It's awesome mate! Funnily enough I've just found your channel - I have an e30 myself and a 93 Range rover coming back from restoration in the next couple of weeks which I can't bloody wait for!.. although it is a V8 and will be a daily haha. But like you say, life is too short and I just want to enjoy it. Enjoy the car dude, look forward to seeing more of it
Awesome that’s a solid two car setup they are both great! My E30 is still a way off as I’ve got carried away with it but there should be an update in the next week or two
You will never regret buying a classic RR.
Thanks I’m loving it so far!
This was a Greater Manchester Police Motorway Group car based at Birch Motorway Post on the M62 at Birch Services. It spent all it's time with the police on the motorway. It had two volt meters because the motorway cars had two batteries. One for all the police equipment and the other just the cars main battery.
Oh excellent that explains that! Thanks
Great car and should hold its value 👌
Thanks yeah that would be nice if I can enjoy it and not lose money that’s all I’d want
Great choice it looks super clean and much cooler than a newer one
Thanks I just can’t bring myself to buy modern cars I mean they are nice and all but just lack character and atmosphere
@@thedownshiftchannel totally agree
thats a nice truck bro
Thanks dude
Adam, you ideally want a head unit with Bluetooth / App control for audio (if you want to keep it simple and single Din) also “mechless” (no cd drive) to keep the depth shallow and not have an unnecessary draw on power
If possible I’d like a screen for NAV and CarPlay it would be a challenge to make it fit though
@@thedownshiftchannel in a single Din size you’d have to go with a motorised screen which gets tedious. The pioneer app controlled range isn’t bad at all. Still allows audio and nav through the car’s stereo. Or potentially fabricate an mini iPad mount
I’ve seen some that have a screen separate to the unit so you can mount the unit anywhere then make a surround for the screen. Il have a look at the app based stuff though
Good job amigo 👍. We took ours on a two year road trip back in the day ! F775 PHU where are you now! 😂👌
That sounds absolutely amazing! I’d love to do something like that if time ever allowed!
👌🏽🔥 yes
Duke of NE. Lovely machine that.
Hahaha thanks bro
Absolutely love this, not something you see anymore. Que you swapping a m57 or om606 into it 😄
Hahaha it’s like you are in my head already! I have some bits to fit now and do a bit of 200 tdi tuning first!
You know how I feel about this... 😍
One day we will meet up in these silly things for a coffee
good to see ya back bro
Thanks brother! Hopefully this year we will get chance to do something I wanna see this DCT rip
@@thedownshiftchannel yeah man that would be awsome! hah its good fun thats for sure. sticking new engine in it this time home hopfully. weather prevailing hah
@@BEYTEK awesome! Gotta make the most of your time back home hahah
This car has made me sub!
Thanks there’s a few boxes of parts ready for some updates
That does look a nice one.
Thanks yeah I’m well happy! Hopefully it will stay that way
Stunning !!!
Thankyou!
My 1988 RR has had the same engine swap, from a 3.5 EFI V8 to a 200TDI. With 15mpg typical from the V8s, it makes the car much more usable as a daily!
The old Rostyle wheels look amazing on it, and that colour is fantastic.
Mine definitely slowed me down, getting out of a Focus ST225 into it, but I'm finding it more enjoyable to drive 99% of the time. Hope you continue to enjoy it, just don't over do the tuning 😅 You should get 300,000 miles out of the engine...
Awesome glad to hear you did the same thing! I really like the Rostyles they will be staying!
I think I’m just going to do a mild increase with the boost pin and controller to maybe go to about 1.3 bar or something nothing too crazy.
@@thedownshiftchannel I've got the stock 3 spokes on at the moment, but I'm planning to buy a set of Rostyles and run summer tyres on those and winters on the 3 spokes.
I'll definitely be watching for the tuning videos, much as I enjoy the more relaxed motorway cruise, I wouldn't mind a little more punch at times!
@@j3652 awesome the three spokes are an iconic wheel too! I’ve just done my first 550 mile trip and it did great I put a video up of that yesterday but I’m planning the next for the tuning videos as they should be more interesting
@@thedownshiftchannel I actually came to this video from the roadtrip one, I wanted to see more of it and hear the story! The policing paraphernalia is definitely a cool part of yours, I'd keep it too.
I bought mine 250 miles away, and drove it home (baptism of fire!), and I've done a few other essential but long journeys since. They eat up the miles like nothing, the driving position and those comfy Teddy seats... so good.
"A guy in a new Range Rover asked if I wanted to swap, but I didn't" cracked me up 😅
@@j3652 I’m totally with you on that I’ve never jumped out of a car after so many miles and felt comfortable and relaxed! Sounds like you are having a great time with yours too!
Get it turned up!
More boost sir?
Try the blaupunkt bremen radio. It has a classic and beautiful look, with all the bluetooth and wireless connections that we cant live without, drives 4 speakers (+ optional sub), rds, phone mic. It will actually increase the comfort and liveability of your car! Forget all that cable.paterfenalia! Experience seamless connections for phone calls and spotify! It is worth its price.
Check it out
Thanks il check that out!
That is so awesome.
Thanks bro I’m well happy with it
colours bad boy 😎
Thanks I love it now glad I went with this over a rotten green one that I’d never sort out
Excellent
Thanks
I approve of this purchase.
I appreciate your feedback 🤝
You maniac are you some sort of secret millionaire that only likes old cars?
Hahaha far from it. Although I am partial to an older vehicle
