Range Rover Coupe

[Old Peter]

I saw a Headline on the Cover of  a Motoring Magazine yesterday.

The Range Rover Vetar, a two door version of the Range Rover with a remarkable resemblance to the Evoque, but larger, is scheduled to appear in the Summer.

I always liked the P38 range rover , had two of them, but they are getting too many models that look the same now.

Hi Peter

What magazine did you see the headline in?

 

[Old Peter]

Hi Trevor, 

Sadly, I do not know.  It was just a passing glance just before the Supermarket was closing!

Peter.

Okay thanks Peter....only 8/10 for observation skills  

It's just I couldn't find any info on the net for this but I'm sure it'll pop up somewhere shortly

Cheers

It's  called the Range Rover Velar coupe, like the Evoque available in two or four doors. Actually not to sure about two door model, no images for it yet.

I had five Range Rovers over about a ten year period. I had two of them supercharged with a Sprintex supercharger, and modifications made to improve the handling at the same time.

I still have massive affection for the Range Rover, but only in the full size version.

I see little point in the Evoque or the Sport (save of course for the very wise decision to be as profitable as possible): The Range Rover should be a capacious, quiet, comfortable five seater with the ability to go anywhere.

I used mine for towing a large caravan, and did quite a bit of off-roading in them. I have forded rivers deep enough to cause some sideways drift, driven off road through snow 2 feet deep, and climbed many 1 in 1 grass slopes. They always did everything asked of them, though I did damage the bodywork a few times coming off boulders which were larger than I thought.

Sadly virtually none are used off-road now, and although they have all sorts of clever electronic systems their ability is severely limited by the choice of tyres suitable only for road use.

It appears to me the biggest market for the Evoque is as the "must have" car for yummy mummies. Our local farm shop cafe car park is like a Land Rover dealership post school run. Not sure why these young women need big 4 wheel drive vehicles as status symbols but they obviously do!

If yummy mummies want to show off their big status symbols  I have no problem with that!
