This Range Rover Classic in Epsom Green is the only ‘94 RRC SWB that I have completely restored and given the Congleton Certified marque. It is a special truck because driving it feels like stepping back in time. It runs nicely, and once you sit inside, you’re suddenly transported back to 1994 and you’re buying a new Range Rover Classic at the dealership. This one-of-a-kind Classic is one of the finest examples of a ‘94 RRC SWB in the world.

I built this truck three or four builds ago for one of our most enthusiastic clients. He has commissioned several restoration projects from us, and I think, along the way, he discovered that the ‘95 RRCs were his favorite. Although this ‘94 SWB was exactly what he was looking for, it became the least used of his collection, and he has now asked me to find a home for it. We are offering this truck for sale as an example of our finest work.

Most of the Congleton Certified trucks I have built are the ‘95 model or an early 80s/90s 2-door. This is a very special build because the ‘94 was the last model with a “hard dash” interior, retaining a lot of features from earlier models before transitioning to a “soft dash”. This vehicle enjoys air conditioning, power seats, power mirrors, power windows, power locks, and a really nice radio unit. It has a performance engine and drivetrain that was custom built for the project. The driveline was disassembled and powdercoated, and all mating surfaces were remachined. When I do a complete restoration, I aim to make the vehicle as nice as possible- certainly giving each example more attention than when they were being mass produced at the factory.

At this time this vehicle is highly dialed in and there’s not much I would change. We are constantly evolving our restoration process and there are a couple small interior trims that we have started producing in-house since building this truck that we could discuss upgrading. On the exterior, it is finished in Epsom Green with silver wheels and black bumpers, which I think presents nicely. For the end user, any cosmetic or finishing details can be modified to fit the individual’s dreams. I am also more than happy to answer questions and take phone calls about the vehicle. I hope everybody enjoys it, and thank you for taking a look.
