Overfinch Ad From the 1994 Overfinch marketing material: 'Overfinch offer an extensive range of improvements which have been refined and expanded since we began the Range Rover enhancement programme back in 1975. Universally acknowledged as THE Range Rover and Discovery specialists, Overfinch remain unique in being the only company to work exclusively on improving Land Rover products - a fact of enormous significance. With anrivalled pedigree and product range the company offers you everything from the elegance of a solid crome interior door handle set to the ultimate 5.7 litre Overfinch Range Rover or Discovery, or anything in between - the choice is yours. Brand new vehicles account for just under half our production and often cover a high milage, since the resultant multi-role vehicle may the replace two conventional cars. Equally suitable are 1 to 6 year old vehicles where the owner is perfect happy with the existing 'host' car but wants to avoid the heavy depreciation that is inescapable when changing vehicles. Instead, by tapping into our 20 years of dedicated experience it can be made into what the owner would have reallyliked in the first place! In so doing the vehicle is thoroughly re-engineered and gets literally a new lease of life.'

See also Overfinch Assistance and Overfinch Warranty under Terms & Conditions of Sale 5.7 Engine Philosophy In a nutshell our philosophy is (and always has been) that if you want a high performance vehicle it will need to have a big, strong, powerful engine designed for the job. Some people are surprised at the lengths to which we go in order to make, what we believe is the ultimate Range Rover or Land Rover. A demonstration soon convinces any sceptic that the character and pace of the vehicle is utterly transformed but not everyone has the time for test drives these days. Here we put forward the reasons why in our professional view an Overfinch 5.7 V8 should be the engine of choice for your vehicle. • Reliability - it is much better to have an engine designed to be 5.7 litres by the world's largest engine manufacturer (General Motors), rather than take chances with a stretched or radically tuned • Resale Value - everyone knows US V8 engines are strong, potent and very long lived. This, combined with our 26 year pedigree, means a buoyant used vehicle market. Conversely people are rightly wary of tuned-up standard cars which unlike our own cannot attract a premium; often just the opposite. • Refinement - honed over more than 25 years for use in American sedans, limousines and sports cars, this engine is a model of compact, refined power and good manners. • Longevity - classic low-stressed U.S. V8 is well known to exceed 200,000 miles before first rebuild. No tuned or stretched engine could get near to meeting this Overfinch minimum aim. • Brand New - all engines are brand new hand-built units using only top quality internal components and external systems. They are not someone else's engine reconditioned. Are there any disadvantages to our performance solution? No, but a few misconceptions pop up from time to time. Sometimes people imagine that the installations might not be neat and tidy, which they assuredly are, or that the engine is much heavier which at just 39 kg more than standard (or no more than a supercharged Land Rover engine) is only the weight of a Bull Bar so means nothing to the car. An inspection and test drive will always allay any concerns. Naturally we have been diligent in the integration of the Overfinch engine with all the complex systems on the cars (e.g. alarm/immobiliser, diagnostics, gearbox etc) so that in every respect the vehicle operates as before - compromises here would be unthinkable and unacceptable. The vehicle should be serviced in accordance with the standard Land Rover mileage/time intervals. This is done through your local Land Rover dealer or back at the Overfinch factory - no one is better qualified or more interested in maintaining your car's high standards than we are. The General Motors ourselves. Could we not have achieved a similar result by tuning-up the standard (ex Buick) engine in some radical way? An emphatic no has to be the answer. Stressing anything, especially something as critical as an engine, way past its design limits always ends in regret sooner or later. In car terms history is literally littered with engines (and companies) that have failed because they were pushing their luck. Fact: particularly with a big, heavy 4x4, no vehicle manufacturer would ever choose to tune-up an existing engine if they had a larger one available. Whichever way you look at it the Overfinch philosophy makes sense. For the ultimate Range Rover or Land Rover there is simply no replacement for displacement. To find out just how true that statement is call the Sales Department to book your test drive - it's an amazing experience. V8 ENGINES - 460i, 570 Ci & 570 HSi (1, 2 & 3) The engine is the heart of the car. A stronger, fitter heart means a much better car. Overfinch are famous for their long standing range of smooth, powerful larger capacity power units that use advanced technology to improve driver enjoyment and overall vehicle performance. The first, the 460i, is a unique Overfinch evolution of the Land Rover 4.6 litre V8 and is a joy to sit behind. A 460i would make a big improvement to your car. The two 3rd generation Overfinch / GM 5.7 litre high performance engines represent the ultimate in refined, sophisticated 4x4 motoring and offer simply blistering acceleration RR D1 D2 LR 460i V8i engine installation from £5,870 RR D1 LR 570 Ci GMV8i sports engine package from £10,895 RR D1 LR 570 HSi GMV8i performance engine package from £12,680 HIGH PERFORMANCE DIESEL CONVERSION (4) Transforms the performance envelope of the respected Land Rover 2.5 TDi engine whilst retaining its famous economy and reliability. The HPD is a must for all TDi owners because it makes everyday driving or towing much more enjoyable and overtaking much safer. See separate information sheet for full details. RR D1 LR £1795 PERFORMANCE E.C.U. 'CHIP' (5) Versions to suit all 3.9, 4.0 and 4.2 litre V8 plus also TD5 diesel engines. Gives noticeable acceleration improvement which is particularly beneficial for overtaking. Provides additional 10-32 BHP depending on derivative. Please enquire for further details. RR D2 LR £395 - £750 STAINLESS SPORTS TWIN EXHAUST (6) Refined over many years, this stainless steel free flow exhaust system is ideal for all V8 engines up to 5.7 litres. Guaranteed for six years, it gives a cultured V8 sound that avoids the tiresome drone consists of a large centre box and an over-axle tail section which terminates in the traditional Overfinch twin polished tips. A durable, refined and very attractive upgrade or service replacement part. RR D1 LR £679 + fitting TUBULAR EXHAUST MANIFOLDS (7) Our special manifolds for Land Rover engines are designed with long primaries for enhanced low end performance plus correctly dimensioned tubes and collector boxes to maximise power output and efficiency. Standard on 5.7 litre models. Supplied complete with Y section. Please enquire about Catalysts. (Complements items 5 & 6). RR D1 LR £495 + fitting Chassis Dynamics If your Range Rover has air suspension, the unique Overfinch 2nd Generation ECAS system for these cars is fully explained in a separate information sheet. For owners of coil sprung cars we offer a choice of two levels - Stage I offers superb control of body movements, less roll in cornering and the compliant ride quality praised by many journalists. These desirable improvements are achieved by perfectly matched dampers and by avoiding the use of progressive (i.e. variable) rate springs. Stage II gives further benefits by virtue of its outboard mounted self levelling system, combined with anti-sway rear geometry and special dampers. This results in increased stability at speed, especially when laden plus a further gain in primary ride quality. It is without doubt the most effective and sophisticated suspension system available for all coil sprung models. RR D1 LR Stage I Coil £995 RR D1 LR Stage II Coil £1695 RR 2nd Generation Air £1640 ACTIVE RIDE TECHNOLOGY SUSPENSION (A.R.T.) (11) A major advance in both handling and ride comfort is offered by our unique new hydro-pneumatic system. First developed in principle for Formula 1 racing, it eliminates all existing springs, dampers and anti-roll bars. A.R.T. gives virtually tilt free cornering thanks to lateral g.sensing plus low ride frequencies in the Rolls Royce / Bentley league for new levels of comfort. Primarily an on-road dynamic handling system for the connoisseur, A.R.T. also allows unresisted axle articulation off-road for even better performance in testing conditions. An entirely new era of 4WD chassis dynamics dawns with the arrival of this advanced new suspension system. See separate information sheet for full details. RR D1 LR POA PRECISION STEERING CONVERSION (12) Sharpens steering response and 'turn-in'. New, re-engineered linkage eliminates free play and sponge in the system and helps damp out steering 'shudder'. Highly effective handling upgrade. Mandatory with 235 & 255 section tyres. (Complements item 20) RR D1 LR £485 AUTOMATIC GEARBOX UPGRADE (13) Available in two levels as either, a) an improved shift programme with more responsive characteristics, or b) a new, stronger gearbox to suit the latest, high torque 570 Ci and HSi models, complete with the responsive shift programme already described. Applicability depends on model year of host car. Please enquire for details. RR D1 from £592 TYRES (14, 15 & 16) Although generally acknowledged to be excellent off-road, the standard 205 / 80 profile M & S tyre has limited grip by current standards (particularly in the wet) and generates too much irritating pattern noise. For improved grip, steering response and quieter running new, dual purpose 235 / 70 H rated Avon Ranger tyres are recommended. These are enhanced M & S type and offer good performance both on or off the road. If you want a predominantly on-road tyre, the 255 / 60 16 Avon Turbospeed is undoubtedly the answer. It has the best grip and steering response, the least pattern noise and is very long lasting. Developed originally for Aston Martin and Bentley motor cars, it has proved excellent on Range Rover and its cousins. (Both tyre sizes require structural modifications to the spare wheel carrier to allow normal installation of Range Rover parcel tray - see below). RR D1 D2 LR 235/70R 16H tyre £141 each + fitting RR D1 LR 255/60R 16Z tyre £197 each + fitting RR Spare Wheel Carrier Modifications £142 CONVERT TO MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (17) Popular over many years as an alternative to changing an otherwise favourite car, our conversions to automatic or an improved 5 speed manual transmission are carried out with traditional Overfinch attention to detail using either original equipment or uprated components. Options include automatic transmission for all Defender models, including TD5. RR D1 LR POA VENTED BRAKE CONVERSION (18) Enthusiastic driving or touring in hilly terrain can severely tax your car's reserves of braking ability making an uprated system highly desirable. Comes complete with P501HD pads. For Series II Discovery the acclaimed Overfinch / Alcon 366mm vented / drilled heavy duty system is offered. This includes special aluminium 4 pot calipers and gives a 57% increase in swept area. Requires certain 18" wheels - please enquire. RR D1 LR from £645 D2 from £2295 VISCOUS COUPLING TRANSFER GEARBOX (19) As fitted to Range Rover since 1989, this unit gives virtually silent transmission and will progressively lock the centre differential to get you out of sticky situations off-road. Ultra quiet Morse chain drive eliminates the familiar gear whine of Defender and Discovery models. An additional benefit is reduced transmission 'shunt' so making progress smoother in traffic or when changing from Drive to Reverse. D1 LR POA QUICK RATIO STEERING BOX (20) An absolutely key ingredient in the quest for good handling A 20% more direct acting steering gear gives vastly improved directional control with 2.9 turns lock to lock in lieu of 3.7. This results in a steering system with the responses and accuracy of a good sports saloon, so achieving a real handling advance. A unique Overfinch product, highly acclaimed by press and owners alike. RR D1 LR £785 Safety & Convenience This is such an important contributor to road safety that all new cars are now required to have one by law. Ultra neat installation makes the unit appear part of the original car. The 3rd brake lamp shines through the tailgate glass and greatly reduces the risk of rear impact by making your braking visible to cars much further back in the queue. RR D1 LR £162 TOURING FUEL TANK (22) Everyone dislikes filling up with fuel so why not do so less often? A Touring Fuel Tank is available for most models and significantly increases the car's range between fills, without any loss of loadspace. (Separate information sheet available). RR LR from £582 7 SEATER CONVERSION (23) Allows the carriage of 2 children up to approximately 15 years of age in the load area of your Range Rover. Complete with 3 point (lap & diagonal) safety belts, this rear facing bench seat folds up when not in use or can be removed altogether in moments without tools. Upholstered in matching leather or velour (subject to material availability). RR from £785 ANTI-LIFT WIPER (24) Incorporates an integral aerodynamic spoiler to prevent smearing at speed or into strong head winds. An excellent safety feature suitable for all Range Rover and pre 1999 Discovery. (Only fitted to driver's side) RR D1 fitted £28 Cool refrigerated and de-humidified air is no longer just a luxury. Increasingly regarded as the essential extra, air conditioning dramatically improves driving comfort and hence safety for all occupants in warm weather. Available for all models, the Overfinch installation is indistinguishable from the factory fitted option. Air conditioning will also increase the value of your car. RR D1 LR from £1390 ELECTRONIC PARKING AID (26) Ultrasonic parking sensors are now a familiar sight on prestige vehicles and for very good reason. This neat system senses an impending collision when reversing and gives an audio visual warning inside the car. When the indication becomes continuous you'll be within a few inches of the obstacle and know to stop. The ultrasonic sensors fit in or just below the rear bumper and are almost totally impervious to dirt build up. A valuable safety aid that could easily pay for itself the very next time you park. RR D1 D2 LR from £592 HEATED FRONT WINDSCREEN (27) Every bit as useful as a heated rear screen, this important advance is a real safety feature in the winter when it can de-frost or de-ice a windscreen in moments. You will never want to go back to motoring without one. Complete with heavy duty electrics and timer system. (Once installed glass replacement can be covered by your car insurance in the normal way). RR D1 D2 LR from £498 Choice of 2 levels of headlight improvement - high power Halogen or full Xenon ( high intensity gas discharge) system. The necessity to see really well on dipped beam is an obvious safety pre-requisite yet even well aimed standard headlamps are barely adequate at times. Offering a minimum 42% improvement in output on Halogen or over 200% on daylight white Xenon, these products are literally brilliant in their effectiveness. They should not be confused with the simple fitting of novelty coloured bulbs. Includes professional beam alignment to ensure dazzle-free operation. Please enquire for further details. Separate Xenon information sheet available on request. RR D1 D2 LR High Power Halogen system from £347 RR D1 D2 LR Xenon Gas Discharge system from £1092 ALARM / IMMOBILISER (30) Theft of and from cars is still a real menace, the risk of which can be significantly reduced by installation of a Thatcham approved alarm / immobiliser. The few available systems which meet the Government's Thatcham Category 1 standard really are effective and may reduce your insurance premium too. More added peace of mind. RR D1 LR from £295 (Cat 2 transponder immobiliser) FOG LAMP CONVERSION (31) When fog or snow seriously reduces visibility you really need proper, purpose-built halogen fog lamps to see at all. These lamps replace the spoiler mounted driving lamps (if fitted) and are re-wired to work without headlamps for maximum vision when conditions turn severe. Supplied complete with lens covers so they survive the summer unbroken by stones, ready for winter use. RR D1 LR from £243 DEFENDER CENTRAL LOCKING (32) Using the original equipment alarm remote this unique system will centrally lock/unlock all 3 or 5 doors at the press of a button. Greatly improved convenience and security from neat, fully integrated installation. An exclusive new Overfinch development.

RR £642 Comfortably padded and upholstered in matching leather, these special armrest tops integrate with the front door trims to form a soft, cushioned elbow rest. A very neat and welcome comfort enhancement. RR £197 FERRARI STYLE INSTRUMENTATION (35) The result of demand for a more sporting dashboard appearance, the conversion to Ferrari style instruments is particularly elegant. Two styles are offered dependent on model and year of host car - either red pointers alone or a full reprint of the whole gauge cluster in Ferrari style (this process uses a photographic reduction technique to ensure exceptional clarity and sharpness). A very stylish upgrade that updates your vehicle and harmonises perfectly with the interior. RR D1 D2 £320 / £536 SPORTS STEERING WHEEL (36) The acclaimed Overfinch 4 spoke sports wheel, in all leather or wood/leather, with unique hub system is an exclusive tactile upgrade for all models, including those with SRS airbags. The wheel has a special padded 'grip' which fits the palm perfectly and the spokes incorporate buttons for Cruise Control (where fitted). A still more sporting 3 spoke version is available for some models - please enquire for further details. RR D1 LR £290 / £545 A full range of exclusive additional woodwork is available to add tangible style and character to your vehicle's interior ambience. Carefully matched and polished by hand, the application of this attractive natural product can be a most effective and elegant upgrade when carried out professionally - please enquire for further details. RR D1 D2 POA SECONDARY DOOR SEALS (38) Made from smooth, high silicone rubber, these supplementary door outer seals completely fill the gaps around the window frames and body so almost totally banishing wind noise - a surprising but true claim. Fitting times vary from car to car. An amazingly effective modification. (Separate information sheet available on request). RR D1 D2 £380 + fitting The perfect upgrade for tired, unsupportive seats. In the case of Range Rover and pre 1999 Discovery, your existing seat frames / transport mechanisms are retained and new upholstery / bracing is fitted giving the following benefits: - Greatly increased backrest lateral support. - Infinitely variable inflatable lumbar 'pillow'. - Extended under-thigh support area. - Backrest and cushion heating (optional). - Special new design back trim panel giving extra rear passenger knee room (options) For Defender models, complete new sports seats, featuring the benefits listed above are offered, trimmed to match the interior.

Neat grey covers replace the winding handles for a perfect finish. LR £563 Set off the interior of your Range Rover or pre 1999 Discovery with a set of these attractive mirror finish tread plates which replace the standard dull silver or black plastic originals. (Complements item 40). RR D1 £270 EXTRA COMFORT REAR SEAT (42) More comfortable rear seating for all pre 1993 model Range Rovers. Includes new, late style raised rear parcel tray and rigid side trims giving neater, more modern appearance. (See separate information sheet for full details) RR £595 + fitting BESPOKE LEATHER RETRIM (43) The finest Connolly hides, carefully stitched to complement and update the interior of your vehicle, add more than a touch of tangible luxury. With 26 years experience on which to draw, it is possible to significantly improve the interior ambiance achieved in even top specification production models. Soft, luxurious Alcantara (washable man-made suede) can also be used as part of the enhancement in certain areas for a very stylish look and feel. Please enquire for further details. RR D1 D2 LR from £690 & £1780 CHROME INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES (44) Nearly all prestige cars have elegant chrome internal release handles; now yours can sport this luxurious touch too.

A quiet, refined, vehicle is a pre-requisite for stress-free, long distance motoring. Our deep understanding of noise transmission in cars means the treatment is highly effective in reducing road, engine, drive line and water splash noises. RR D1 LR from £395 INTERIOR & ENGINE PRE-HEATER SYSTEM (48) A miniature independent fuel burning heater unit, permanently fitted to the car, allows you to drive off in a fully de-iced, warmed up vehicle. This is obviously far safer, more comfortable and could save money (since any engine is at its most inefficient when warming up). It enables you to pre-select a a set heating time up to 24 hours before you want to drive away, its integral pump then circulates warmed coolant through the engine and heater which warms the interior and de-ices the windows. Suitable for both petrol and diesel cars, the system is very well proven in Europe and beyond. Optional extra: remote operation via telephone. RR D1 D2 LR from £1295 fitted SPORTS ALLOY WHEELS (49) The colour coded 8x16 Overfinch Nevada wheel represents the ultimate in wheel design for these vehicles and gives dynamic as well as visual improvements, all of which are fully explained in a separate information sheet.

RR D1 LR POA FRONTAL STYLING ENHANCEMENT (50) A tough, composite 3 piece colour coded panel fitted to your Range Rover's front spoiler brings body colour below the bumper line to enhance its classical styling.

RR £770 + fitting BROOKLANDS BODY STYLING (52 & 53) Introduced on the 1992 limited edition Range Rover Brooklands and then adopted for 1995 LSE models, these styling additions consist of large, contoured front and rear body 'aprons' plus optional contoured sill covers. Gives a more radically altered appearance than Integrated Sports Bumpers for those who want a car that really stands out from the crowd. RR from £1390 + fitting TINTED PRIVACY GLASS (54) Available in green, bronze or two shades of grey, lightly smoked tinted privacy glass is becoming an increasingly popular means of reducing glare (up to 38%) and solar heat transmission (up to 44%).

General Motors origin means excellent parts availability in UK, Europe and most areas of the world The 4.6 litre 460i is a derivative of the Land Rover V8. Q ARE THERE ANY TAX DISADVANTAGES? A Not in most oases, in fact sometimes quite the reverse - for example if the work constitutes 'repairs and maintenance' it should be possible to reclaim VAT, and when vehicles become four years old company car tax benefit reduced by a useful 25%. Q IS IT WISE TO CONVERT A NEW OR NEARLY NEW CAR? A Yes, these types of vehicle are a popular choice as it is less expensive to convert a car in near new condition with few miles under its belt. Q CAN AN OLDER CAR REALLY BE MADE TO FEEL LIKE A NEW ONE? A Yes, given the necessary specialist attention to detail, any host car, old or new will be made tight, responsive and 'fresh'. This is fundamental to the concept of the host car being given a new life as an Overfinch vehicle. Older cars may require more remedial works. Q DO I GET A PROPER WARRANTY PACKAGE? A Yes, a 12 month / 12.000 mile (20,000 km) parts and direct labour warranty plus a 12 month Incident Management Support Package ensure 24 hour assistance in the case of accidents or breakdown, 365 days of the year. Overnight accommodation or free hire car can also be provided. See also Overfinch Assistance and Overfinch Warranty on page 2). Q WHAT ABOUT RE-SALE VALUE AND DESIRABILITY? A A strong demand for used Overfinch cars exists because: • Sound concept - everyone knows American engines are potent, reliable and very long lived. (See also Engine Philosophy, page 4). • Proven track record - over 26 years as a low volume manufacturer demonstrates Overfinch commitment. • Highly acclaimed by the Press. - see articles, tests, books and videos. • Comprehensive and unique Overfinch improvements, plus special engine, mean the added value of works cannot be ignored. • Public and trade concerns over tuned or stretched Land Rover engines cannot apply to Overfinch vehicles by definition. • Choice of host car model can be an important factor - please enquire for advice. • Long standing, prestigious reputation of Overfinch vehicles ensures strong public demand and ownership aspirations.
