A pristine 1994 Range Rover LSE has sold for nearly £120,000 at auction – four times its guide price.
The Mk1 4.2-litre V8 model had not been driven for 30 years and had just 756 miles on the clock.
Finished in Beluga Black and featuring an Ash Grey leather interior, the sale also included the vehicle’s private plate – NEB 58.
The car is a rare example of the range topping Vogue LSE model.
The original owner passed away many years ago and his widow kept it untouched and garaged until her passing in 2025.
Given its location the Range Rover had to be winched up a drive ready for its public appearance at the Anglia Car Auctions ((ACA) in King’s Lynn.
Records show the car was bought new for £38,400.
ACA gave it what they thought was a realistic guide price of between £30,000 and £50,000 only for it to go for £119,880 earlier this month.
A spokesperson for ACA said: “It’s an absolute time warp.
“We have made no attempt to start the Range Rover although we can confirm that the engine turns over!”
At the same auction, a 1963 one-owner MGB roadster found tucked away in the garage behind the Range Rover sold for £18,792. The rust-free find was expected to sell for only around £5,000.
