There was always scope to produce a vehicle that combined the no-nonsense Land Rover's off-road prowess with a greater degree of on-road chic and comfort. Though various plans were mooted in the 1950s, it was the emergence of the American SUV a decade later that finally convinced Rover to create such a model. Spen King famously oversaw the '100-inch Station Wagon' project that was finally revealed as the Range Rover in 1970. The David Bache-penned newcomer was powered by the ubiquitous Rover V8 which was connected to a permanent four-wheel-drive system for optimum traction.

Manufactured new in 1988, ‘F976 NTT’ was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 14^th of November that year. Understood to have been supplied new by Mann Egerton to rock, blues and jazz singer Elkie Brooks, lead vocalist with bands such as Dada and Vinegar Joe. Fitted during her ownership (probably from new) with a Wood & Pickett interior, which is still in place today, the Range Rover was in previous ownership from 2006 and current registered ownership since 2015. Understood to have been off the road since 2005, the Range Rover was ‘running and driving’ a few years ago and is now offered as an interesting and worthwhile restoration project, with intriguing celebrity provenance. Supplied with a current V5C document.
