History of Model

Wednesday 17th June 1970 is not a date etched on many minds. It is however the day that the Range Rover was announced to the worlds motoring press. Unknown to the Rover Company, it was a vehicle that over the years would totally revolutionise the leisure car market, a world beater.

The story had started a lot earlier. The Rover company had been "toying" with the concept of a more "upmarket" Land Rover Estate car since the early 1950s. The first project was named "Road Rover", and several prototypes were built using the P4 "Auntie" Rover car chassis. Towards the end of the 50s the project ground to a halt, and was shelved.

It remained dormant for a number of years, until 1966 when engineers Spencer King, and Gordon Bashford decided to set about designing a Luxury Land Rover estate car, using the powerful but relatively lightweight V8 engine, based on the a 100" wheelbase chassis.
August 1967 saw the completion of the first prototype, bearing chassis number 100.1

25  "Pre-production" Range Rovers were built during late 1969 and early 1970. They were registered in London, with the registration number sequence YVB 151H to YVB 175H.
The first three were registered on 2nd January 1970.

In May 1970, a batch of 20 production standard Range Rovers were built, 5 red, 5 white, 5 blue and 5 green.

In total 86 Range Rovers were built in 1970.

When the Range Rover made its debut in 1970 it was available in just one guise - a three door estate with four speed manual gearbox and permanent four wheel drive. The Range Rover was, and still is, unique, so much so that one model was exhibited at the Louvre as an example of modern sculpture. However, despite its more luxurious image the emphasis was still on practicality - the original brouchure extolled the virtues of a hoseable interior while the British Trans Americas Expedition proved the new vehicle was every bit as tough as the Land Rover by crossing the Darien Gap in 1972.
