Set to go under the hammer at the Salon Privé Sale by Silverstone Auctions, the first production Range Rover was built in 1969 and features a 3.5-liter V8 engine. The model has been fully restored and has 86,950 miles (139,932 km) on the odometer. The Range Rover also boasts matching numbers on everything from the aluminum hood to the engine and gearbox.
