The first-generation Range Rover was launched in June 1970 as A Car For All Reasons and built until 1996, first by the Rover division of British Leyland and then by the Rover Group. It was a two-door until 1981, when a four-door appeared, and it moved upmarket through the 1980s, reaching the United States in 1987. It had coil springs, permanent four-wheel drive, aluminium panels on a steel safety frame and the Rover V8 engine. Land Rover called it the Range Rover Classic from 1994, when its P38A successor arrived, and applied that name to all first-generation cars.
