Range Rover Classic


The Range Rover started with a simple concept conceived by Charles Spencer King: a car that was comfortable on the road as well as off the road. What King did was take a basic Land Rover suspension and equip it with coil springs which gave the car a great feel.

Yes, the Range Rover also helped to create the luxury SUV segment but it was also the first modern off-road vehicle that placed an emphasis on driver comfort both on and off the road. The original Range Rover was very basic not like they ones they build today, it makes you nostalgic for a simple yet capable car.
