Range Rover Second Generation: The Complete Story

by James Taylor

Overview

The second generation Range Rover was arguably Land Rover's first model designed as a luxury vehicle. It was a major leap for the company, but a very successful one. Despite controversy over its looks, and some initial teething problems, it became a worthy successor to the much-loved original. Along with full technical specifications, Range Rover Second Generation covers the full development history; the changes during eight years of production; the Autobiography and aftermarket custom models; Range Rovers for the North American market, and finally, Range Rovers and the emergency services.

About the Author

After graduating from Oxford and pursuing further academic studies at Reading, James Taylor spent 12 years working in central government. However, the lure of writing about cars – which he was doing in his spare time – proved too great and he decided to turn it into a career. James has now written well over 100 books in all, and among them have been several definitive one-make or one-model titles. He has written for enthusiast magazines in several countries, has translated books from foreign languages, and even delivers effective writing training in both the public and private sectors. He spent the best part of ten years as the editor of Land Rover Enthusiast magazine and has always counted the products of the old Rover Company and of Land Rover as his favourite subject. He also co-organised the “15 Years of Rover V8” event at Donington in 1982.
