A pretty neat-looking 1995 Range Rover Classic 25th Anniversary Edition has appeared on Cars & Bids as one of the latest examples of the first-generation model. The limited-edition special was unveiled in 1994 to celebrate the 25 years of the Range Rover nameplate, in the same year as the debut of the far more modern second-generation.
This specific example combines an Aspen Silver Metallic exterior shade with black-finished 16-inch alloy wheels and an Ash Gray interior featuring real wood trim. It sports an aftermarket TWR body kit with modern-style body-colored bumpers proving the timeless look of Range Rovers hasn’t changed that much in the course of history. The previous owner has also retrofitted a set of LED headlights.

The vehicle has undergone a recent restoration by Congleton Service in Vermont. It appears to be in good condition for its age and mileage, although a closer examination reveals a few cracks and chips and interior wear plus some rust on underbody components.
Despite coming from 1995, equipment included dual-zone climate control, heated and power-adjustable front seats, dual front airbags, electric windows, cruise control and a power sunroof right from the factory. Unfortunately, the seat heaters and cruise control do not work as described on the listing. Also, the previous owner added a Sony RSX-GS9 High-Resolution Audio Media Receiver, an aftermarket subwoofer at the boot and a rear-view camera mirror.
The Range Rover Classic 25th Anniversary Edition originally came with a Rover-sourced 5.0-liter V8 mated to a four-speed ZF transmission, but it recently received a replacement engine and transmission with a 4.2-liter V8 shown in the pictures. The chassis has 162,300 miles (261,197 km) but the powertrain has around 10,000 miles (16,093 km). Other mechanical modifications include coil spring suspension, Congleton cooling components, and an NRP Performance stainless steel exhaust.
According to the vehicle’s Carfax history report, the Range Rover has not been involved in any accidents since new and has spent most of its time in California and Texas. The ongoing auction has received a few bids at the time of writing, with the highest one currently at $12,000. How much would you pay for the most modern version of this classic SUV?
