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 as well. Despite controversy over its looks, and some initial teething problems, it became a worthy successor to the much-loved original.

"Range Rover Second Generation - The Complete Story" draws on the memories of designers and engineers as well as on a wide variety of factory sources to provide the most authoritative history of the mode yet.
The book covers the full development history; the changes during eight years of production; Range Rovers for the North American market; full technical specifications and finally Range Rovers and the emergency services.

Range Rover Sport 2005-2013 - The Complete Story

When the Range Rover Sport was launched in 2005, it was aimed at a new group of customers who in many cases would never have considered a Land Rover product before. These customers wanted and could afford a luxurious vehicle that was expensive to run; but they also wanted a very personalized vehicle that did not have the rather grand and conservative connotations of the full-size Range Rover.
Brasher and more glamorous than its older sibling, the Sport was soon adopted by celebrities and others who expected to be noticed.

This book, the first devoted specifically to the first-generation Range Rover Sport:
- tells the story behind the development and launch of the vehicle
- explains the market reaction, including contemporary press reviews
- provides details of each model with technical specification tables and colour and trip options
- lists production figures and VIN identification and dating
- details prices and sales figures for the UK, USA and Canada
- and finally, includes a useful chapter on buying and owning.
