Classic Yet Modern: The 1992 Land Rover Range Rover County
Once upon a time in January 2021, an adventurous soul decided to snag this short-wheelbase 1992 Land Rover Range Rover County on BaT. Fast forward a few years, and an epic refurbishment tale unfolds, right out of Overland Projects, Los Angeles, wrapped up in 2025. What makes it special, you ask? Let’s dive into the details.
A Complete Overhaul
Under the hood, the robust 3.9-liter V8 got a makeover, while the flashy exterior received a spruce-up in glorious Beluga Black. Gone are the old springs and shocks, ushering in a new era alongside stylish trim and a modern stereo system with sound that’ll shake the rust off those old fenders. But that’s not all!
If you ever get tired of new age car models like the Opel Crossland X, this vintage Land Rover offers the kind of timeless style that never fades.
The cherry on top? The vehicle now sports a reverse-view camera and a deluxe interior fit for royalty with caramel leather upholstery and plush gray woven carpeting.
Features and Upgrades
Along with the extensive makeover, a series of convenient features and serious upgrades were added:
- A thorough service of the brakes.
- Transmission and air conditioning worked on, ensuring smooth rides and cool drives.
- Repairing power-adjustable seats, door locks, side mirrors, and sunroof.
Rolling in pure style, this truck boasts a four-speed automatic transmission, complete with a dual-range transfer case. Feel the power with the vehicle’s 16” steel wheels and heck, even the grille and bumpers received a backdated, yet timely nod to its roots. A fabricated steering guard and a receiver hitch offer additional protection and versatility.
Indoor Oasis
Step inside the Range Rover, and it’s like you’ve walked into an artfully crafted sanctuary. Heated front seats and power windows cater to modern-day comforts, while cruise control and air conditioning make long roads more enticing. Sound-damping material cocoons the cabin, making for whisper-quiet journeys.
Features list:
- Heated and power-adjustable front seats
- Power windows and door locks
- Reverse-view mirror display, a Grand Prix stereo, subwoofer, and Kicker speakers
The dashboard proudly displays a leather-wrapped steering wheel, accentuated with a 6k-rpm tachometer and a 200 km/h speedometer. Mind the odometer though—it reads 250k kilometers (~155k miles) with about 3k of those being naturally accumulated under the current owner’s care.
Engine Room Conversations
As if the V8 overhaul wasn’t enough, the engine room saw some critical improvements: leak repairs, radiator re-coring, and some essential fluid changes. Felt the need for quiet engine operations? A sound-damping panel was added under the hood to keep things serene.
- Replaced motor mounts, starter, alternator, and ignition system components.
All-Terrain Mastery
When it comes to off-roading, it’s not just about looking tough—this Range Rover’s got grit beneath its polished exterior. With power flowing seamlessly to all four wheels, thanks to the four-speed auto and that dual-range transfer case, every turn is backed by confidence.
Authenticity isn’t skimped on either. The Carfax report clears the air, ensuring no accidents or reported damages to darken its pristine history. The Texas title has its bond intact.
And there you have it—a tale of transformation, passion, and remarkable engineering all wrapped up in one iconic build. Your childhood dream Range Rover, recharged and ready to conquer the roads.
