In an upcoming auction that promises an array of automotive treasures, one vehicle stands out for its unique history and celebrity connection. A 1994 Range Rover Vogue LSE, transformed into a lavish limousine, once chauffeured the legendary boxer Mike Tyson around Glasgow, Scotland, in 2000. This vehicle is not just any Range Rover; it underwent a high-end conversion that cost a staggering $171,600 (£135,000), commissioned originally by the Sultan of Brunei.
The bespoke limousine, which saw Tyson during his swift victory over Lou Savarese at Scotland’s Hampden Park, was modified by Townley Cross Country Vehicles. The SUV was stretched by 40 inches and had its roof raised by eight, featuring a laminated sunroof, darkened windows, and a one-piece opening tailgate. Its exterior boasts a Rolls-Royce Mason Black finish, while the interior is adorned with Oxblood Connolly leather, Wilton carpeting, and Burr Walnut trim. Equipped with three plush captain chairs, an electric center division with a glass panel, and an entertainment system including two TV monitors, a CD player, and a VHS player, the limo redefines luxury travel. Under the hood, it houses a 4.3-liter V-8 engine, delivering 200 hp and 251 ft lbs of torque.
