“A car for all reasons”, the very words used to describe the Range Rover when it first emerged onto Land Rover forecourts across the UK. The suave, handsome and well performing slab of old England quite literally changed the rapidly emerging 4x4 market and showed the world that capability didnt have to come alongside compromise. To this day, the beloved nameplate can be seen as a benchmark for what a luxury SUV.
The car we have here is a rather splendid example of the later introduced Range Rover sport. Combining the all terrain prowess of the standard Range Rover in a sportier, redesigned package, it really can be seen as a perfect all rounder and this high specification, well equipped Rangie will make a welcome addition to any prospective buyer’s driveway.
