Range Rover has revealed a unique 1993 Range Rover Classic that has been restored to match the brand’s new flagship SV Ultra. And the pair are set to be auctioned together during Monterey Car Week next month.
The bespoke Classic was created by the specialists at Range Rover Classic as a showcase of the personalisation available through the company’s commissioning programme. It will be sold alongside the first US-market Range Rover SV Ultra as a one-off matched pair through RM Sotheby’s Monterey auction on 14 August.
Originally built as a US-market County Edition, the Range Rover Classic has undergone a mammoth restoration, said to take more than 2000 hours of fabrication, painting, trimming and assembly.
The exterior is finished in Titan Silver, the same new paint colour introduced on the SV Ultra. The finish uses fine aluminium flakes to create a liquid-metal effect, while the Classic also receives Satin Platinum Atlas-finished 16-inch alloy wheels with diamond-cut rims, updated bonnet lettering and a cleaner exterior with the side mouldings removed to mirror the modern SUV.
A plaque beneath the bonnet confirms the vehicle’s status as the first bespoke matched-pair commission.
Inside, the restoration introduces Ultrafabrics upholstery to a Range Rover Classic, trimmed in the same Orchid White and Cinder Grey two-tone colour scheme as the SV Ultra.
The seats feature the same laser-cut perforation pattern found in the flagship model, while the dashboard, steering wheel and door trims have all been reimagined with matching materials, brushed aluminium accents and bespoke speaker grilles to create a cabin that blends ‘classic design with contemporary craftsmanship’.
Despite the visual transformation, Range Rover Classic has retained the vehicle’s mechanical authenticity.
Power comes from the original 3.9-litre V8 petrol engine, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. During the restoration, the engine, gearbox, suspension, steering and braking systems were rebuilt to improve reliability (and stop oil leaks) while preserving the character of the original vehicle.
Range Rover says the project demonstrates how owners can commission bespoke vehicles across both its modern and heritage ranges.
“Our bespoke service allows customers to create a truly individual Range Rover, whether through custom colours, interior finishes or personalised details,” said Dominic Elms, Director of Land Rover Classic.
“Range Rover SV Ultra is the pinnacle of tailored distinction, and this commission demonstrates how that same philosophy can be applied to any generation of Range Rover while maintaining its essence.”
The one-off pair will make its public debut at Monterey Car Week in California before crossing the block at RM Sotheby’s live auction on 14 August.
While no estimate has been released, the combination of a one-of-one restored Range Rover Classic and the first US-market SV Ultra is expected to attract significant interest from collectors seeking one of the most unusual Range Rover commissions ever created.
