Gone but not forgotten, Richard Simmons inspired many with his vibrant personality, turning "Sweatin' to the Oldies" into a fitness phenomenon. Simmons, a genuine soul with infectious humor, passed away at 76. Unlike today's perfect Instagram influencers, Simmons was that motivating, quirky friend who encouraged you to exercise with enthusiasm.
Simmons' 2012 Range Rover, now on Bring a Trailer until December 3, reflects a different side of his personality. Featuring a supercharged V-8 with just 18,000 miles, this is no ordinary vehicle.
The understated silver exterior and ivory leather interior offer a refined experience distinct from Simmons’ flamboyant style. A symbol of discreet luxury, this Range Rover doesn't shout for attention like a bright green G-Class might.
Under the hood, a supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 delivers 510 horsepower and 461 lb-ft of torque, managed by a six-speed automatic transmission. It's equipped for both urban adventures and rugged terrains, thanks to its Land Rover heritage.
Simmons certainly enjoyed sophistication, as evidenced by the 19-speaker Harman Kardon stereo, heated and ventilated seats, factory navigation, and a surround-view camera. These features highlight Simmons’s penchant for elegance beyond the stage.
This Range Rover is more than a car; it’s a testament to Simmons’ refined taste behind his larger-than-life persona.
As the auction nears its close, remember: bidding on this Range Rover might be better suited with a dash of Richard’s spirit. Perhaps do some jumping jacks before placing your bid, and capture a piece of a legend’s past. The no-reserve auction concludes on December 3.
