That Monte Verdi looks like junk.

Great work Nick !!

Highly recommend Lanoguard used it for about 4 years now on my Disco 2 ❤

I've got two testicles with low mileage that I haven't used in a while. Would you consider a swap?

Such a cool ride!

@ Scott Thank you for all of your encouragement and support. I’ll be getting my first oil change since taking my car back on Wednesday July 3rd. 1 year, 5 months and 2 days later. I’ve had it back for just over a month today. I’ve taken the liberty of purchasing my own oil well ahead of time. I’m going with 5w30 Castrol Edge full synthetic for this very old 98 XJR. I’m running 94 octane premium gasoline in the new motor. I don’t think anything higher is available in Canada. Do you have any idea exactly how much oil is required for a simple oil change on this type of car? Best regards, Greg Dettling Ps I still think this video with you is really cool! This is my first British car so I’m still getting to know it and understand it. So COOL the transmission is a German Mercedes Benz transmission on these supercharged cars. If Jaguar was for it I’m all for it! They definitely knew what they were doing when they opted for that. And it sold me on this car! :) I missed my old BMW transmission and this feels slightly the same. Heavy solid and smooth. My HATS OFF for Jaguar on that huge detail. My transmission is now working great! I put my black and silver chrome XJR up for sale on June 1 to see what kind of interest I could get. So far a few people taking down phone numbers. I’m off to research exactly how much oil I’m going to need. I don’t want my new shop to over fill it. My last shop had it quite a bit over the full mark. Yikes! Will be providing them with a bit less oil than it actually needs and topping it up myself. Really going to cut hairs on this one. I’ve been slowly dipping oil out off the dip stick for a month. LOL

Mr Range Rover does it again:D

One piece tail gate ....... but that one nice thing about the original ..... glass up .., tail board down ....

That looks fabulous but is the chassis ok ? 😮

Great video really enjoyed it 👍🏻. I’m no expert but what I do know about Monteverdi Range Rovers came through LRO Magazine. One of their writers, James Taylor is a real expert and has written many books on all things Land/Range Rover might be worth trying to get in touch with him to see if he can help. I would have thought it would have definitely have been a V8 4speed vehicle originally and I wonder if the colour is “Denim Blue” or similar which Land Rover used in the 2 door Ltd edition in the early 80’s. It is something special and deserves a very gentle restoration, so yes keep it as original as you can. The beauty of a Monteverdi Range Rover nowadays is they are so rare and nobody really remembers them but those that know, know.

I've also got a '98 XJR. I haven't dynoed her yet because I'm still working on it. But I've got upgraded pullies and supercharger and am working on the exhaust now. I'm working on custom headers and stuffing a 3in under there. Then I'll see what she makes!

At 0:50, he states that this car is tuned...heavily tuned.

thats a range rover gear box, five speedo from july 1983.

😀

I drive a santana 2500 109 as daily. Love it and hate it.

Switches from an LDV Sherpa too. Such reliability!

It’s the coolest van ever!

What next for this oddball car? What does one do with it now?

Thanks 🙏 so much ! I learnt something this evening !!!! Cheers

Wish it was maintained better.

I have a black 1994 Black Vogue SE with black leather interior that is for restoration and about to buy a restored 94 model, metallic blue but grey cloth interior. These are the best looking Range Rovers in my opinion. I know they suck fuel but some engines are worth it man

Sports button engages 1st from stationary - rather than 2nd as normal :-) and hold gears all the way up

I thought the name was one word Monteverdi and made in Switzerland.

That car is nowhere near 500 bhp.

This car didn't reach it's estimate on 11/5/2014 at £12.500 at Historics Auctioneers.

That sound ❤❤❤

Congrats on your purchase it looks that you have a fairly solid and complete car which is always a bonus when they are so rare , all left the factory as white two doors with 2 extra doors inside Montiverde then converted to four dour removing the roof and complete interior, comprehensively re spraying with metallic paint , mine is silver ,recovering the interior and hand making the door cards ,they are aluminium and the boot cover. They rebadged ,changed the door mirrors and built a pod around the binnacle oh and a cubby box on the gearbox tunnel. I am an owner who is missing a few pieces but also have a few spares and literature good luck with your rolling restoration

Great video and really nice to see that someone has finally done one on these! We've a Light Green Metallic Montevrdi that needs a full restoration but as soon as I was told about it we were striaght off to see it. I believe the Monteverdi club have located around 55 survivors so far with many of these being unknown cars - ours was one of them. You're 100% correct in the door area with another set being sent off with it. I believe the cars were sent out as complete white 2 door Range Rovers an then rebuild at the Fissore Carriage Works in Italy. Other unique features of the car included Tornado door mirrors, fully carpeted interior (special colour), aluminium backed and carpeted tailgate cover (if you remove yours it should say Pelle Beige on it along with the last 4 of the chassis number) , there was an R marked into the chassis number to denote it being a Monteverdi and the colours were also special - not available on the standard 3 door. Also do not break or loose the glass as all the side glass was specially made by Saint Gobain. They're truly a wonderful car and one that to the untrained eye just looks like a standard 4 door. Also this was the catalyst for Range Rover to build their own. I don't recall the full reg would I believe it starts TEH - this was the design Monteverdi that Land Rover used. Really hope that info helps

My dream came true, i am getting same year and same color in 2 days. 71 thausand miles, two Florida owners. New subscriber here.

Which exhaust system do you have to make it sound like that?

looks like a lt77 longstick from 1983-1985

I remember the first time I saw this I really didn’t like the interior , it spoilt the car .

Amazingly there are people who like these ! just raid it for parts .

L322 is the king!

The Large version is much nicer!

There's a Monte Verdi on sale at Williams Classics for £55k.

Hope someone doesn't destroy this car by 'customizing' it.

How much did you sell that for

Thank you for your message! I’m sorry it has been busy. I couldn’t reply. I have a quick question. On my 1998 XJR black with chrome and of course 4.0 L V8 supercharged... .....my shop has disconnected the battery twice now and replaced the battery twice. They have also performed a complete engine replacement. As soon as they were finished the Transmission went into limp mode on test drive. They tell me I have an issue with my transmission and it must have just broke while sitting at their shop. My question: Did they need to reset the computer electronics when they disconnected the battery and did the engine replacement???

Fixing up a 1990 Townace Royal Lounge as we speak! A couple of weeks away from completing. Can’t wait to go on adventure. Sourcing parts requires some ‘mechanical’ archaeology’ - correlating original part numbers with new and alternate parts (lots of 80s Hilux suspension parts fit and easily available worldwide). Avoiding breakers as those parts are eye-wateringly expensive (step light cover - £32 anyone?)

Fabulous..and that engine note. I would be a bit scared of hidden costs for things going on underneath the car but still… a lot of car for the money.

Rare vehicle these days. Think the side rubbing strip may be an aftermarket add-on. These were very popular for the RR in the mid 80s and made by a few companies for 4 and 2 door vehicles. I think there may have been 'Monteverdi design' badges , like the grill badge, on either side of the decker panel. In stead of the standard 'Range Rover' badge found on vehicles of the time. As you say, not too much out there on these vehicles. Might be worth contacting the Range Rover Register for the history. Interesting yours has the 'Alegro' style door handles the same as LR used later but early Monteverdi's may have been different.

Those cupholders are not to be trusted, just so you know. I remember the first time I used them in my XJR, I got to take my coffee externally 😂. Oh and for all the people who think Jaguars are unreliable, my 2001 XJR was my daily driver and it has almost 200,000km on it and it has never given me any problems. Unfortunately it's been off the road for a while now because I started a business and couldn't afford to insure it

STOP PUTTING BACKGROUND MUSIC

scrab music... ori car sound is enough!

if you decide to scrap it i would like the seats and the bullbar ,if you dont scrap it its a lot of work

I like the watch. What is it?

I saw a mark 1 rr recently, parked next to a Korean family hatchback. The latter was bigger in every respect

Great project, I’d no idea how rare they were! Unbelievable how long it took Land Rover / BL to develop their own🤷‍♂️
