Range Rover V8 3.5 Convertible by SVC (1976)

-Period Cabriolet body by Special Vehicle Conversions (Sussex, England)
-Fresh from extensive restoration
-Originally sold in Spain
-Rare Left hand drive version
-Special set of purpose-made cases in the trunk

VEHICLE HISTORY
Back in 1983 the Range Rover Evoque Convertible was still decades away, but that didn’t stop James Bond from piloting a soft top Range Rover in Octopussy. SVC in Sussex, England saw an opportunity and began cutting the roofs off classic Range Rovers in the 1980s to fill demand. The conversion is a rare sight and it will catch people’s attention wherever it goes. 

This unit was originally registered in Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) back in 1976, and very probably it was sent back to the UK to be converted by Special Vehicle Conversions (SVC) in the 1980s. In the old Spanish documents appears a note about "change of characteristics in 1984".

The vehicle has spent most of its life in the quiet roads of the Canary Islands, probably without much kilometres done among the years. It was recently imported to peninsular Spain, where the current owner has undergone a total frame off restoration recently finished. 

MECHANICS
Everything was dismantled, checked and remade in a "nut and bolt" way. Many new parts were fitted were needed, as can be seen in the photos. The engine is a powerful 3.5 V8 which has been fitted with a special set carburettor-intake from the American make Edelbrock, which gives some extra horsepower. 

BODYWORK
Has suffered also a complete restoration and it is in very good overall condition, but some minor defects can be seen in a close inspection. Please check the photographs. Many brand new parts have been used.

INTERIOR
Also totally remade in the recent restoration. New upholstery made in high quality brown leather, beautiful and comfortable. Needs some finishing touches. In the plastic dashboard there are minor defects, please see the photos. In the trunk there is a special purpose-made set of cases, probably made together with the SVC Cabrio conversion, as are old and have been restored.

The car can be picked up in Madrid, Spain

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
<p>1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.</p>
<p>2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.</p>

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?

Bids exclude the auction fee and shipping costs, which will be added during final payment.
