I think I have the updated version of this ad some where.
 
This one stops at around 2002 I will have to find the one that continues to today.

I love the shots of the old two door Range Rovers in that video.
 
They never imported them into the US but you see them from time to time for sale on speciality publications or Atlantic British.
 
I would love to get one of those in decent shape.

Those uncluttered original Range Rovers show how great that design was. Hard to believe it dates from the 60s.
 
I also like those really early ca. 1950 little 2 door open models.

Yup those would be Series Is and IIs like the 1959 Series II we have at the dealership.
 
We are taking that model to the Auto show in two weeks as part of our exhibit. It is so clean when we have it in the showroom people think it is a new model. I have had a couple of people seriously ask if it is a retro inspired 2007 MY Rover.

Hmmm I wonder if they would do a new retro car. The Defender was kind of retro.

The defender was just the continuation of the Series Land Rovers.
 
For example the door handles on our 1959 Rover will work on a Defender.
 
Almost the whole door on a series Rover will bolt up to a defender.
 
The frames are even very simliar just modern metalurgy for the Defender.
 
The Defender should come back within the next three to four years on the T5 platform that the LR3 and Range Rover Sport share.

So it's a real retro car, as in a new old car.
 
I see them quite often in this atea.
