The Range Rover of 1975 was in its fifth year on sale as a two-door, in the year when British Leyland collapsed and was nationalised and the Ryder Report recommended that Land Rover be separated from Rover. It had a top speed of about 95 mph and could reach 60 mph in under 15 seconds, which was better than many family saloons of the day, and it did well off-road thanks to long suspension travel and generous ground clearance.
