The Range Rover is a British institution. It’s just about the only car that you might see parked up in the mud at a pheasant shoot one day and then gleaming outside a swanky London nightclub the next. Whatever environment it finds itself in, however, it’s the Range Rover’s luxury and refinement that sets it apart.
