Thrills From The Flipside: 10 Great European Restomods

Range Rover Classic

Years produced: 1970-1996

Ah, the Range Rover. The favored drive of the British aristocracy, brilliant offroader, and…secret speed demon? Well, modifications can make anything possible, and this Range Rover Classic offered by British firm Kingsley can make those dreams come true (stopping it from tipping over is up to you, however). It may rock the same four-speed automatic transmission, P38 V8 engine, and chassis as the original, but that’s where similarities end. The engine has been bored all the way out to 293 ci, the suspension has been altered, new LED headlights fitted, and a new, faster, steering rack has been added.

The restoration process on these cars is painstaking. The car’s body is removed from the chassis, and the metalwork is then reviewed and repaired as necessary, before it’s all put back together. Zero to 60 is handled in around eight seconds with the base engine, but you could theoretically choose another engine to install, if you’d prefer. Apparently, you could fit a 366 ci Aston Martin V12 under the hood, if you so chose. The end price is close to $120,000 at time of writing. No surprise: these things were never cheap to begin with and the amount of work that goes into the rebuild is massive. It’s still entertaining though: a British counterpart to all those chopped and dropped Chevy pickups.
