Land Rover Range Rover Classic '85 1985
General description :
The Range Rover is a large luxury four-wheel drive sport utility vehicle (SUV) produced by British car maker Land Rover, a subsidiary of Jaguar Land Rover, and serves as its flagship model. The model, launched in 1970, is now in its fourth generation. Range Rover is also being developed by Land Rover as its premium brand, and it is used as a brand name on two other models – the Range Rover Evoque and the Range Rover Sport. The first-generation Range Rover was produced between 1970 and 1996. Unlike other 4x4s such as the Jeep Wagoneer, the original Range Rover was not designed as a luxury-type vehicle. While certainly up-market compared to preceding Land Rover models, the early Range Rovers had fairly basic, utilitarian interiors with vinyl seats and plastic dashboards that were designed to be washed down with a hose. Convenience features such as power steering, carpeted floors, air conditioning, cloth/leather seats, and wooden interior trim were fitted later. The Range Rover was a body-on-frame design with a box section ladder type chassis, like the contemporary Series Land Rovers. The Range Rover utilised coil springs as opposed to leaf springs, permanent four-wheel drive, and four-wheel disc brakes. However, from the third generation a monocoque body structure has been used. The Range Rover was originally powered by the Rover V8 engine. Later models were powered by a 4.4 L BMW V8, until the introduction of a 3.6 litre TDV8 engine. The first generation model was known as the Range Rover until almost the end of its run, when Land Rover introduced the name Range Rover Classic to distinguish it from its successors.

About Land Rover
The rugged tale of Land Rover, born from the spirit of exploration and inspired by the legendary Jeep. Let's embark on a journey through the history of Land Rover, tracing its evolution and the iconic models that have conquered both off-road terrain and urban landscapes.Act 1: The Birth of Land Rover (1948)
In the aftermath of World War II, Rover saw the need for a versatile, go-anywhere vehicle that could handle the demands of post-war life. Drawing inspiration from the Jeep, Maurice Wilks, Rover's chief designer, and his brother Spencer, Rover's managing director, conceptualized the first Land Rover. Launched in 1948 at the Amsterdam Motor Show, the Series I Land Rover was an instant hit, boasting simplicity, durability, and unparalleled off-road capabilities.
Act 2: Series Land Rovers (1950s-1970s)
The Series Land Rovers became the backbone of Land Rover's lineup. The Series II in 1958 and Series III in 1971 refined the design and introduced more creature comforts, while preserving the brand's commitment to off-road prowess. These models were workhorses on farms, military deployments, and adventurous expeditions.
Act 3: Range Rover (1970)
In 1970, Land Rover expanded its horizons with the introduction of the Range Rover. Combining luxury with off-road capabilities, the Range Rover defined a new segment of high-end, go-anywhere vehicles. Its success marked the beginning of Land Rover's transition from utilitarian workhorses to premium off-road vehicles.
Act 4: Discovery and Defender (1980s-1990s)
The 1989 launch of the Land Rover Discovery marked the brand's foray into family-oriented SUVs, blending off-road prowess with on-road comfort. Meanwhile, the iconic Land Rover Defender, the spiritual successor to the original Series Land Rovers, continued to capture the hearts of enthusiasts with its rugged design and unyielding capabilities.
