I recently bought a '93 Range Rover Classic (SWB) Overfinch (with the full 5.7 Ltr Chevy engine conversion!). I bought it from my brother for £3k (which i think is a pretty fair price considering how rare they are these days).
It's an absolute monster, and sounds gorgeous.
The guy who originally bought it had Overfinch stick EVERYTHING onto it... I think he spent about £40k with Range Rover, and about £43k with Overfinch having it converted!
It's in pretty good shape still, the air suspension had to be reverted back to coils though because it was messing up, and the engine runs a little warm when in traffic, but other than that it's in very good shape for its age (80,000 miles).
Though, as with all Range Rovers of that age, I am having to spend a bit of cash every 2-3 months on fixing random little items that go wrong, nothing major yet... but probably spend about £150-£200 every 3 months on minor repairs on average.
My question for any of you that might have advice on this is: do you think I should flip it now before anything major needs fixing, and (try to) make a quick profit? or do you think i should hang onto it and hope that value will increase considerably in the next 3-5 years, especially as RR Classic Overfinch's become increasingly rare ?
Thanks in advance - any advice/opinions welcome
