Synopsis
The original Range Rover, launched in 1970 caused a sensation and, gradually, created an entirely new category of motor vehicle - the capable 4x4 off-roader. But by the early 1990s the original Range Rover was showing its age and designers and engineers began work on its replacement. This new Range Rover, launched in 1994, was powered by the same Rover V8 as its predecessor, but little else remained the same. It took over as the world's best luxury 4x4 and sold in large numbers throughout the world. But the second generation Range Rover has now, itself, been replaced and James Taylor has written the first complete history of the car.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Some light dulling and creasing to the jacket. The book is very good. The first full history of the second?generation Range Rover, the model launched in 1994 to replace the original 1970 classic. Taylor traces the story from the early design work in the 1990s through to the end of production in 2002, explaining how the new model kept the Rover V8 engine but was otherwise a complete redesign aimed at reclaiming the top end of the luxury 4×4 market. The book describes the engineering changes, the development challenges, the styling decisions, and the way the vehicle was received internationally. It is illustrated throughout with photographs and technical details and runs to about 184-192 pages depending on the printing. Seller Inventory # 050765
