Description

- 1973 Suffix B Drop head "Octopussy" - Compete leather custom stitched tilt - Custom leather bikini top - Drinks cabinet and beaters bench in rear - Double carpets all round - Nut & Bolt restoration in 2020 Only made from Jan-October 1973, the Suffix B has been labelled as the rarest of all the Suffix Range Rovers. Even more so than the esteemed Suffix A. Add to this Suffix B the professionally converted drop head fitted in the 1980's by Specialist Vehicle Conversions Ltd and you've got something that is genuinely a 1 of 1 and to the right buyer could be priceless. This unit is rumoured to of been commissioned to mirror the James Bond "Octopussy" film car "VOA 418Y" which was built and filmed in 1983. The work done by SVC Ltd is documented around this time also so either an avid James Bond fan commissioned this build, or perhaps, this was built to be the actual one... Either way, it is very special. The rear configuration has been changed slightly, now sporting a drinks cabinet and beaters bench seat in the rear. Dry stored from the early 90's until 2014, when it was removed from storage and lightly re-commissioned. She was sold in early 2015 and the new owner carried out a full nut and bolt restoration costing in excess of 40, 000 (2019). Total costs including the vehicle purchase for the previous owner is believed to be towards 100, 000. 00. This truly is a 1 of 1 custom build, completed by a very well known specialist coach builder of the time. On what is already a very rare Suffix B model. The rebuild has bedded in nicely and is starting to show some patina back. The body is immaculate, along with the interior. She is fully serviced and is a complete driveway unit, requiring no work. Similar examples although over priced are sitting in the region of 70-80, 000. 00. Of course, market prices do not take into the account the specialist conversion and potential James Bond ties on this particular unit. Please do get in contact if you wish for more info.
