I sold my RRC in 2010-ish because I lived in Georgetown with on-street parking and also had a Defender 90, Land Cruiser 100 and A4 wagon. 4 were too many for on-street parking in Washington DC. A guy from Virginia bought it via craigslist and I don't have any contact details anymore (I have moved like 4 times since).

Anyway, I want my truck back. Anyone aware of a guy on the boards with a 1990 white SWB "hunter" with OME heavies, ARB in front and Bottorf rear + sliders and an ARB roof rack? It had a swing-out spare tire too.

The car I most regret selling...
Any leads would be appreciated. I want to buy it back.

This was my old ad with pics.

I thought I'd seen a white RRC modified in a similar way at the Moab Solihull national rally this year but IIRC it was a LWB unit.

Ya, the D90 has a good home now south of San Francisco.
Funny thing is, I regret selling the RRC and miss it way more than the 90.

wow, good to know...I do love my RRC but man would I love a D90 in the garage. Really I want a diesel 110. A diesel conversion RRC is more likely in my distant future though. Best of luck finding the old Classic. My office in northern VA and I'm in DC a good bit...will keep my eyes out for her.

Really random. I was just looking my looking local craiglist for Classic Range Rovers, while I was searching this forum for info, when I found this:

1990 RANGE ROVER SWB 300Tdi DIESEL or BIO-DIESEL, 5SP

This your rig?

Looks very similar, but mine was an auto trans.
I would be very happy to hear that a later owner put a 300tdi in my truck.

Still have the VIN? Do a CarFax report on it. May give you the state and some other info, like a repair shop name if it is being serviced.

Found it.
Apparently it burned to the ground. I recognized it from an ad on Craigslist parting it out. Looks like an engine fire. Poor truck.

I remember when you posted
Wanting your classic back
It’s a shame is burnt up

Maybe time to search out your next rover
It’s out there somewhere

Just reading the older posts. It is strange how people fantasise about Defenders. They are the most uncomfortable things to drive and no better in off-road performance than a Disco or Rangie. I think it is some Indiana Jones thing or maybe the owners are also into S&M.

I think it has to do with the movies
Like hatari
Even though I think that was a series...

Defenders are kinda cool but for sure bare bones
And out of my price range
I’ll take a $1000 dollar rover any day
