    ..spot on - he gets it - its not about fuel economy or toys or even reliability - although i ran of these for nearly a decade and it always got me home: its about the way it makes you feel

    This gentleman is so directly on point it ridiculous. What a treat this video is. The camera angles, the contrasts in color and just mesmerizing. Sandglow rolling through green grass is a thing! I agree 100% that vehicles used to be designed for how they looked and how they made you feel driving them.This is your best one yet. I've loved the old Range Rovers but this prospective makes it necessary to own one someday. Just awesomeness, thank you!

    what better place to do a classic range rover film than in its ancestral homeland. quintessential British motoring at its finest. and a big thank you to range rover for now restoring/rebuilding these models at the factory again. despite the price tag, its I'm sure worth every penny.

The intro and outro music are always carefully hand picked, it all comes together to give a masterpiece each and every time.

    I had one, white with a black vinyl top. It was juicy around town but on a long easy drive wasn't too bad on fuel at all. I liked the starting handle, but it could brake your arm. It had a full length sun roof too and little rust. We had some great times in it. I loved it but it had to go as my wife wanted to learn to drive and I couldn't aford two cars back then. I wish I still had it.

    Aha! so far the best sound I heard of the good old Range Rover! My Dad had one and I drove a couple of them in the early 80s in real off road terrain besides highway - exactly for what they were designed for... Even though we were teenagers who drove fast (specially when there is no law) the Range Rover had a soothing effect on us, loved the low end torque of the small V8 - occasionally pushed it to 160 kmh on an uphill highway just to explore that limit - mind you, we also had a Wagoneer with a 5.6L -though automatic, great for highways and ok for occasional off road, unlike the FJ40s great off roads but better have good kidneys and back for the real off roads, the Range was the ultimate both world vehicle: deep jungle or modern city. I hear you on the frustration of maintaining them, but that is why we also have a modern car... Thank you for sharing and specially the personal relationship you have with the car!

      True. Do we love them in spite of it because of what it makes us feel about ourselves, that reliability and thrift are not that essential to us, and that capability, style, and heritage are? I’ve had two Discovery 1s and I just enjoy seeing it in my carport.
