The Range Rover is a full-size four-wheel drive sports utility vehicle (SUV) made by Land Rover and serves as its flagship model.

The Rover Company is experimenting with a larger model than the Land Rover Series in 1951 when the Rover P4-based two-wheel-drive “Road Rover” project was developed by Gordon Bashford. It was postponed in 1958, and the idea lay dormant until 1966 when engineers SPEN King and Bashford set to work on a new model.

In 1967, the first Range Rover prototype built with the classic Range Rover shape discernible, but with a different grille and headlights configuration, the design of the Range Rover in 1969. Twenty-six velar engineering development vehicles were built between 1969 and finalized in 1970 and left the number plates YVB151H to YVB177H.

Although he did not stand. 3, the vehicle YVB 153H believed the first production line to have been as a vehicle that color was an urgent need for marketing. The name velar is derived from the Italian “velar” means veil or cover. Range Rover development engineer Geof Miller used the name as a decoy for the registration of pre-production Range Rovers. The velar company is registered in London and produced 40 pre-production vehicles built between 1967 and 1970. Most of these velar pre-production vehicles accounted for and survive in custody.

The specially adapted Range Rovers used for this expedition is now on display in the British motor industry Heritage Trust collection at Gaydon, Warwickshire.

From then until 1993, the US marketing was all in the name of Range Rover because it was the only model in the US market. In 1993, with the arrival of the Defender 110 and the imminent arrival of the Land Rover Discovery, sales in the US business under the name “Land Rover North America.” In 2005, Land Rover launched a different model to the Range Rover brand – the Range Rover Sport, which is based on the Land Rover Discovery platform, but the new Range Rover Sport, the latest Range Rover platform.
