DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Another slightly unwise purchase, but this one cost less than a pair of wheels (7Rs, admittedly) for the orange car...
Per kg, that's good value.

Exterior: perhaps the rattiest Range Rover I have ever seen....






... and the interior is a little bit worse than that!





Pisstake away, to your hearts' content. I've always wanted a 3-door Rangie. And if nothing else, it will suitably embarrass my teenagers in the school car park (where approx half the cars are Range Rovers, but I think mine will still be distinctive )

Looks like it ought to smell of wet dogs.

Traitor.... what happened to the G then... You need to see a doctor Richard.

Gs are too posh for me Dave.
Also I am married to a doctor. A psychiatrist, specifically. Hence the need to spend a lot of time in the garage.

Jonny - it does smell a bit odd. Previously the property of a Spanish farmer, so probably Chorizo under one of the seats.

LOVE IT! I had a classic and it's been one of my favourite cars ever. Not as unreliable as expected and bags of character. It's used as a shed now but I'll restore it one day. Maybe.

Oh I can post some photos of a much much rattier 3-door that this!

Great purchase and I'm sure it will clean up well. Chorizo smells aside it may at least have a chassis...

Health to Drive!

Well at least it appears it was used for its intended purpose.Not just a "Chelsea Tractor" Earlier in week during that huge downfall, I was trying to navigate a country lane.As I turned a corner hit a flooded road.When I say flooded.Not as in Noah & Ark type flood.Just a few inches, running across the road.A RR was sitting there obviously debating whether its huge wheels and clearance would manage to survive the impending hazard.I was tempted to get it a nudge with the transit at one point.

Looks pretty cool Richard. Good photos too, love the action shots in foliage for the authentic off roader look!!

Cool! It looks ratty but not rusty.

Respect!

Exactly. I've done rusty... ratty is cheaper. Hopefully!

Thanks all. More to follow when I take delivery. It's nearby, so I've poked it and driven it and it has an MoT, but completion of the deal is contingent on DVLA getting around to issuing a UK reg.

that looks pretty good actually .. better than some of the rangy's of that era I've seen rattling around north yorkshire over the years

Wow! That's a nice bit of YouTube.

I found some original seats and a very decent older 4-spoke steering wheel on eBay. Have swapped those in, done a few tidying jobs, and spent quite a few hours cleaning things. I think the interior is looking slightly less hideous:
