1987 Land Rover 130 V8 Petrol | A Rare British Icon Built for Collectors and Enthusiasts

Some vehicles are bought.

Others are collected.

This 1987 Land Rover 130 belongs to a select group of classic Land Rovers that have become increasingly difficult to find worldwide. The long-wheelbase 127/130 models were produced in far smaller numbers than their 90 and 110 counterparts, and surviving factory V8 examples are especially sought after by enthusiasts and collectors. Today, only a small number appear on the international market, making ownership an opportunity rather than simply a purchase.

Power comes from the legendary 3.5-litre Rover V8 petrol engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, permanent four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case and a lockable centre differential. The result is effortless V8 character, exceptional off-road capability and the unmistakable soundtrack that made the Rover V8 famous.

What truly sets this example apart is its remarkably preserved interior.

The cabin presents exceptionally well for a vehicle of this age, with beautifully maintained seating, clean door cards, an impressively original dashboard, tidy switchgear and a well-kept load area. It reflects decades of careful ownership and gives this classic Land Rover a level of presentation that is becoming increasingly uncommon.
