Land Rover Range Rover (second generation)
Only the second Range Rover in twenty-four years.
The story
Replacing the original was a daunting job. The new car kept the upright stance, the floating roof and the split tailgate, and added air suspension and far more luxury. It took the Range Rover firmly into limousine territory.
Inside
A big H-shaped gate for the gearbox, soft leather, walnut and electric everything.

Before you buy a 1990s car
- On petrol engines, check the cooling system and any sign of head gasket trouble.
- Ask when the timing belt was last changed, where fitted.
- Parts for mass-market cars are widely available; specialist and low-volume models can be hard to find.
