The second generation Range Rovers were conceived before the BMW take-over, as was the agreement to use the BMW diesel engine. Sales were strong and it quickly out-sold its predecessor. Limited editions and special editions were introduced periodically. From mid-1988 the two V8 engines were re-worked to improve drivability. A minor facelift in 2000 was the last real change before production ceased in 2001. Neglected vehicles can be very expensive to rectify. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, technical and specification data, new model introductions, long term tests, buying second hand. Models covered include: Vitesse, SE, HSE, TD, Overfinch, Callaway, Vogue.
