(February 6, 2017) OXFORD ROAD, Coventry, UK — Salon Rétromobile 2017 will see the world debut presentation of the next in the "Reborn" series of expertly sourced and comprehensively restored Classic Land Rovers.

Range Rover Reborn is a new program offering prospective customers the unique opportunity to purchase an original and highly collectible vintage Range Rover, direct from Land Rover Classic in the UK.  The launch of Range Rover Reborn builds on the successful introduction of Land Rover Series I Reborn last year.

Another highlight for show visitors will be the European debut presentation of the "New Original" Jaguar XKSS. Following its successful introduction to media at the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles in November 2016, this stunning XKSS finished in Sherwood Green is the engineering blueprint for nine cars destined for delivery to customers worldwide in 2017.



Also showcased by Jaguar Land Rover Classic at Salon Rétromobile — held in Paris, France from Feb. 8-12 — will be the first fully factory-restored original E-type Fixed Head Coupe.  This privately-owned, French-registered 1962 E-type, presented in Opalescent Gunmetal Grey, is presented complete with reverse-engineered body panels, manufactured in-house to ensure best fit and finish, and with its original 3.8-liter engine and transmission — also completely reconditioned.

Land Rover Classic’s expert team has drawn on decades of engineering and design expertise to complete the first Range Rover Reborn — a carefully selected 1978 Classic Range Rover.
