The first luxury four-wheel drive. Launched in 1970 under engineer Spen King, the Range Rover paired a Land Rover's ability off the road with coil springs, permanent four-wheel drive and an aluminium V8, so it was comfortable on the road too. It was two-door only until 1981 and has grown ever grander since.
