Land Rover is the Company, Range Rover is a Model made by Landrover, Just as
is the Series 1, II , IIa, III Defender, Discovery and Freelander... not to
mention a miriad of Special vehicles and Military vehicles.

As for modles for the new Rangie,,,, haven't a clue but will check in about
10 years when I can afford a second hand one.

difference between HSE and VOGUE

Range Rover is a model made by Land Rover, the trim level is HSE or Vogue etc.

If you look on older RR it does say Land Rover on the green oval badge, the RANGE ROVER is on the bonnet,
the green LR badge is on the grill.

I remember at one point that the Company was actually called 'Leyland
Large Car Division' or very similar. Those were in the DARK ages,
although it may have overlapped with the early years of the Range
Rover model, the strike ridden Seventies >shudder<.

Lets not forget that Land-Rover was a model made by the Rover car company, before Rover was swallowed into BMC/Leyland. Then much later Landrover became a seperate company that made the range rover.
As an example of amalgamation lets not forget Freight-Rover which tried to combine all the seperate divisions and give them a common identity. The Leyland Sherpa became Freight-Rover, with a slotted style grill, as per the Range Rover of the time, and the 4wheel drive version was promoted.

think the marketing chaps decided to ditch the land rover name from the range rover. as the posh peeps didnt want to drive a tractor.

when the rangey became so upmarket, they had a slot between it and the old landy. hence the discovery fitted neatly in between.
