The Range Rover was launched back in 1970 by manufacturer British Leyland. Classed initially as an upmarket 4x4 vehicle, today’s iteration is considered a symbol of luxury and dominance on the road today. The fourth-generation Range Rover, such as the one featured here, made its first appearance back in 2012 at the Paris Motor Show and turned heads immediately as it was given a complete redesign. Our subject car is a 2016 Land Rover Range Rover LWB custom and is located in California. The car has done 33,000 miles and features some choice additions and upgrades.
The Exterior of this 2016 Range Rover LWB almost looks like it rolled out of the British Secret Service. It features custom blacked-out trim, which includes a color-matched logo, grille, and trim around the body, as well as blacked-out taillights and a jet-coated exhaust. Wheels are custom Redbourne 22-inch black rims wrapped in a set of massive 32-inch all-terrain Nitto Grappler tires. Behind the wheels are brand-new brake calipers and rotors with reflective Brembo logos. The upper and lower control arms have been upgraded with rubber bushings rated at 100,000 miles. The interior maintains the all-black look with the exception of a few silver accents on the dash and door panels that appear to be in pristine condition and are well looked after with a few extras such as a set of rear folding tables to eliminate your ‘dining on the go’ issues. But the calling is the custom-made Strongbox gun vault installed to fit the full length of the truck with a 2inch offset so that the air conditioner can still operate without issues.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that the Rover’s gargantuan size results in low speeds. This beast carries with it a massive 5.0L V8 engine that’s capable of producing 370hp of power and 510 Nm (376 lb-ft) of torque, doing a 0-60 in 6.5 seconds.
SUVs nowadays have lost their off-road ability. Most of them are just glorified people haulers with leather dashboards that roam the parking lots of malls. This 2023 Range Rover with just under 30,000 miles takes a slightly different approach. It combines all the great traits of modern SUVs (luxury, sportiness, style) with the great traits of older SUVs (off-road ability). It’s easy to see why Land Rover has been producing the Range Rover for over 50 years. They seem to do what very few other car makers can do; Drive off the road as well as it can on the road.
The majority of Range Rover owners purchase them not just for their robust off-road capabilities and cutting-edge technology but also for the value that the brand name brings to the table. It has always been one of the names we think of when we talk of ultra-luxury SUVs. Land Rover launched three special editions of the Range Rover for the 2021 model year. Namely, the Fifty Edition (which celebrates the 50th birthday of their flagship SUV), the Westminster Edition, and the Dynamic Black Edition. With this listing, we are talking about the well-equipped midrange model, the 2021 Range Rover HSE Westminster Edition. This sophisticated example is said only to have 31,200 miles on its odometer. Keep reading to find out about the luxuries this grand ride has to offer.
Luxury, off-road capability, on-road performance. No other vehicle really provides this combination like a Range Rover. The Range Rover has become the standard that all other luxury off-roaders are measured by, but creature comforts weren’t always a part of its DNA. The first-generation Range Rover was a basic, rugged off-roader, and the early models didn’t even have power steering. The seats were vinyl, and the dashboard was made of plastic to make it easier to clean, a world away from the modern interiors that come with leather, wood trim and electronics. Speed wasn’t a prime concern for the design team either, with the initial engine option being a Rover V8 (adapted from Buick), rated for 127hp in its most primitive form. But now, more than 4 decades later, the Range Rover is a very different animal.
In 1948, the Rover Company of Britain was gearing up for the post-war period. One of their bright ideas was to create a light, utilitarian and capable off-roader that could be used for agricultural, as well as other purposes. They were inspired by what Willys was doing with the Jeep across the pond. In fact the very first Land Rover Series prototype used a Jeep chassis and a Rover engine. The production version, of course, was Land Rover’s own design, and was called the Series I. As time passed by, it became the Series II, Series III, and gained the Defender name by 1990. Although the vehicle underwent hundreds of changes during its several decades of production, its basic shape and purpose remained true to the original. That’s why you can easily see similarities between a 1948 Series I and this 66,000-mile 1994 Land Rover Defender 110 that’s up for sale today. This six-seat vehicle is thus a great way to explore the myriad trails across America, in a vehicle that’s built for the purpose.
There is a dedicated group of enthusiasts who swear by a Land Rover Series, or Land Rover Defender. Produced since 1948, the Land Rover Series became the Defender in late 1990, when Land Rover switched to a new naming convention for their models. While the Series underwent hundreds of updates throughout its life, including during its Defender time, the external appearance of the vehicle remains roughly similar. This 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 is no different; park it next to a 1948 Series 1 and you’ll immediately notice the similarities. But, there are several differences too. This vehicle has done just under 700 miles after undergoing a comprehensive full frame up restoration including a conversion to left-hand drive for easier driving in the United States.
SUVs have changed a fair amount in the past few decades. Many of the once rough and tough desert trailblazers capable of climbing mountains at a moment’s notice have gone soft. Only suited to the parking lot of the local Mall of America. However, this 1991 Land Rover Defender 90 holds true to SUVs of before. With the initial design dating back to 1948, Land Rover knew how to make a rugged workhorse that could do it all.
