ABOUT THE CAR
“Introduced to North America in 1987, Land Rover's top-of-the-line Range Rover was already a familiar sight in many parts of the world, with a history spanning nearly 20 years. In fact, Land Rover has been making sport-utility vehicles for about 50 years, and has always enjoyed star status as safari and expedition transport. After being purchased by BMW AG in 1994, Land Rover was sold to Ford Motor Company in 2000. While some traditionalists may have been put off by the introduction of the second-generation Range Rover in 1995, others realized the makeover was necessary in an increasingly competitive market. This will likely be the case once again as the third generation goes on sale this summer, however buyers have responded favorably in the past, placing Land Rover among Britain's largest exporters to America.”

ABOUT THE MODEL
Astonishing model of a legendary SUV that was the first that brought an SUV to a luxury car market many years ago, but still be a good performer out of road. No SUV collection is completed without a model of Range Rover could be a great addition to any car collection. Model is available from AUTOart in 4 colors. Besides highly detailed exterior and interior, unlike most other models in 1/43 scale featured detailed underbody with turn able front wheels (I do not recall any other model maker in this scale that has this feature).
Unbelievably highly detailed models from any aspect. Packed in an attractive box with its own plastic display case.
