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.

This review is from: Range Rover: The Second Generation (Crowood Autoclassics) (Hardcover)
Mine is absolutely in love with his (and can list the reasons why for hours, it seems). He loves this book and I have seen him reading it many, many times over this past year. It has great photos and detailed explanations of all aspects of the vehicles and how they differ by year (yawn). For the enthusiast this is a perfectt gift!

decent book, questionable vehicle,
By warchildnyc (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Range Rover: The Second Generation (Crowood Autoclassics) (Hardcover)
I bought this book to understand more about my 1999 4.6 HSE, which I bought a little more than a year ago. $8000 of repairs later, I can hardly stand to look at the car, or this book. That said, it gives a decent overview of the vehicle and the history & evolution of Range Rover. My advice to anybody considering a second generation? Buy the third generation, not this one.
