tuningblog.eu Your magazine about tuning the car
Sure, the classic Range Rover is not necessarily one of the most beautiful vehicles on the market. But this specimen from 1972 - the Series 1 - is different. A lot of energy and money was spent here to convert the classic SUV Restomod conversion to revive with a particularly clean look. And the result looks completely standard at the first, second and third glance. Nevertheless, we think the range has an incredible charisma. Yellow, or rather ocher, or completely different - Gold - is actually not a color that looks particularly good on a large SUV. OK that Urus from Lamborghini is certainly an exception. Yes, this Range Rover in the noble "Bahama Gold" definitely too. Because that completely new paint dress at the completely restored The body simply fits more than just perfectly. Combined with black and silver accents, the style is incredibly harmonious.
1972 Range Rover S1 "TopHat"
By the way, the team from was responsible for all the effort TopHat in Loosdrecht in the Netherlands. This is a company that also has offices in Phoenix, Arizona and Dubai. Under the motto "Classic Land Rovers reinterpreted“For many years, the tuner has also been building fantastic individual items like this Range Rover. And the copy is even happy about one LT1 V8 (LT1 6162cc V8) from a Chevrolet Corvette with a good 500 hp as well as a Magnum 6-speed manual transmission. And with a relatively low empty weight of 1.900 to 2.000 kg, the SUV is easily 500 kg easier than comparable vehicles of the present. The performance one can therefore imagine! You are up Sports car level. To improve the driving behavior there was still Koni shock absorbers with adjustable Smart Air suspension and of course bigger ones too Brakes front and rear. They hide behind classic rims The cabin is also in silver and completely redesigned.
inside, too, everything is in the condition of a new car
Inside became real everything new with Manager related and also the Carpets up to the classic Round instruments have been revised, but still have the look from back then. There is also a fully-fledged spare wheel hidden in the trunk and the classic also has a special one plaque by TopHat. The restored classic even has one Air conditioning, ABS and Power Steering built in and is therefore fully suitable for everyday use. Only the price of the three-door is less suitable for everyday use. Because he beats with full 275.000 € to book.
