GGG: Round 15 - Land Rover Range Rover

[buickgnx88]

The Range Rover was launched in 1970 as a larger companion to the Land Rover Series (and soon a more luxurious companion) and has been continuously built to today. It has been sold in four generations so far, and has even spawned off some smaller models under the Range Rover sub-brand. Which generation of this luxury British off-roader is your favorite?

Classic

P38A

L322

L405

Classic by far, boxy and rugged looks, came in a 2-door model, and looks amazing with the body-colored alloys.

They're all going to break down, but I'd feel less of a numpty in a broken down Classic than the rest. Classic it is.

 

[Matej]

The L322 for its looks and engine options, though I would never, ever buy or drive one unless we're discussing video games.

 

[FT-1]

From the options given, the L322. I would take the Sport model over it though, same goes for the L405.

 

[LivingWithGames]

L405 for me.

 

[UltimateYosh]

A Resto-modded Classic would do nicely.

Failing that, the L405 but I do prefer the Sport.

Classic, easily. It'll probably break down, but at least you'll know you can fix it with the same 3 tools when it does. P38 to a lesser extent because it's an evolution of the Classic, drivetrain wise. But the BMW/Ford/Tata ones? Good luck doing even basic maintenance.

 

[Stotty]

Early Range Rovers might have a romantic reputation, but, although they are streets ahead of a Landy, they are still absolutely rubbish to drive.

I'll take the newest one - the interiors are amazing. Which is a good thing as I'd likely be spending a lot of time sat in it while waiting for a truck to come and recover me when I break down... again.

 

[Neddo]

Original because far more capable off road
