1977 Land Rover Range Rover Suffix D
The original Range Rover, launched in 1970, is widely regarded as the world’s first true luxury SUV — a vehicle that combined rugged off-road capability with comfort and refinement in a way no other 4x4 had before. Early models, especially the two-door “Suffix” series, have since become highly collectible as the foundation of the Range Rover legend.
This example is a 1977 Suffix D, presented in Sahara Dust and powered by the iconic 3.5L Rover V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The car comes equipped with air conditioning, leather interior, towbar, bulbar and the original owner’s manual.
As noted by the vendor, there are some imperfections consistent with age and originality. These include damaged aerial, secondary battery disconnected, window trim and lining imperfections, rear window and tailgate faults, minor stitching wear on the rear seat, and engine occasional misfire under load. The interior doors also require attention, and the hood latch does not engage. Despite these issues, the car remains a largely original and highly appealing early Range Rover example.
The Range Rover was famously displayed at the Louvre in Paris in the 1970s as a work of industrial design, praised for its simple yet functional styling. The early two-door variants like this Suffix D have become icons in their own right, loved by collectors and enthusiasts for their pioneering role in creating the luxury SUV category.
