Range Rover Classic

Obituary for Vidar Eriksen

A man who made the world of the Range Rover Classic a little better.

Here they are: 597 pages of concentrated knowledge from Range-Rover-Classic.com – carefully organized into 29 original sections.


Range-Rover-Classic.com by Vidar Eriksen: Some people don’t just leave footprints — they leave entire maps.

Vidar Eriksen was one of them. With his passion for the Range Rover Classic and his seemingly endless knowledge, he inspired countless enthusiasts. And he always emphasized that this treasure trove of information was meant for everyone. That’s what made him so special: he wasn’t a guardian of secrets, but a builder of bridges.

I still vividly remember our email exchanges, where we discussed the quirks of classic Range Rovers — especially the adventures of these legendary vehicles in Central America and Costa Rica. Vidar was always curious, always helpful. When I asked him in the early 2000s whether I could archive his entire website (because back then the internet connection here in Costa Rica was about as stable as an old Land Rover on a gravel road), he essentially replied:
“Of course. This information is for the public.”

And just as he would have wished, his insights will continue to live on – freely accessible to all who are passionate about these rolling legends. Vidar was not a man of exclusivity. He was a man of community, sharing knowledge as if it were tools in a common workshop.


Vidar, wherever you may be traveling now — I hope the roads are smooth, the weather is kind, and your Range always has a full tank.

Thank you for showing us how to share knowledge, live with passion, and never forget the joy along the way.

In memoriam Vidar Eriksen – a pioneer, an enthusiast, and a true friend of the Range Rover Classic.
