Range Rover Vogue 1991

The first generation Range Rover was produced between 1970 and 1996. The original car was not designed as a luxury 4x4; while certainly up-market compared to preceding Land Rover models, the early models had fairly basic, utilitarian interiors with vinyl seats and plastic dashboards designed to be washed down with a hose.  Features such as power assisted steering, carpeted floors; air conditioning, cloth/leather seats and wooden interior trim were fitted later. The Range Rover was a body-on-frame design with a box section ladder type chassis similar to contemporary Land Rovers. The Range Rover utilised coil springs as opposed to leaf springs, permanent four-wheel drive and four-wheel disc brakes and was originally powered by the Rover V8 engine.
