    Fancy yourself a modernized Range Rover Classic? Then the car you see here may be the perfect answer. Yes, we all know they didn’t build Range Rover Classics in 2017, but this one’s been built on a Discovery 3 chassis.

    The truck you see here was built by Chieftain as a reimagining of the classic, one of the first examples built by the firm and used as a demonstrator, appearing in multiple magazine stories and company promotional materials. From there it was sold from JIA Ltd—parent company of Chieftain to its current owner in July 2020.

    The colors and miles aren’t in the listing by RM, but we’d be surprised if they can’t provide that for you.

    “Monte Carlo Worthy” is maybe the best way ever to describe a pristine vintage luxury car, and that’s precisely how Gallery Aaldering leads in explaining the Bahama Gold example you see here. Why? Well, for starters it spent its last ten years residing in Monte Carlo.

    Remember, this is the place where F1 champions valet whatever the hell they want to because they are F1 champions, or cruise the streets of this ultra exclusive town past yachts and casinos. Having the most expensive anything is likely passé, though perhaps so too is going back to Monte Carlo with someone else’s former Range.

    So maybe don’t go back to Monte Carlo. Even still, if you’re seeking one of the best known examples of Range Rover’s 2-door early trucks with an incredible specification including manual transmission, we know where you can find one.
