## The 1972 Range Rover, an automotive revolution Launched in June 1970 by British Leyland, the first-generation Range Rover marked a turning point in the automotive industry. This innovative vehicle combined, for the first time, the exceptional off-road capabilities of a Land Rover with the comfort and refinement of a luxury saloon. The 1972 model already benefited from the first improvements to the range, cementing its burgeoning reputation. Powered by Rover's renowned 3.5-litre V8 engine , the Range Rover developed 135 horsepower and delivered remarkable performance both on and off-road. Its sleek body, designed by David Bache, combined elegance and functionality with its distinctive flat surfaces and right angles. Commercial success was immediate and lasting. From its earliest years, the Range Rover established itself as the benchmark vehicle for a discerning clientele, ranging from British landowners to international celebrities, laying the foundations for the modern luxury SUV segment. ## Land Rover in the early 70s In 1972, Land Rover was experiencing a pivotal period in its history. Part of the British Leyland group since 1968, the brand benefited from technical synergies with Rover, including access to the aluminum V8 engine that powered the Range Rover. This collaboration enabled Land Rover to develop a revolutionary vehicle that would redefine its brand image. Founded in 1948 with the launch of the Land Rover Series I, the brand initially focused on rugged utility vehicles for farmers, the military, and adventurers. The arrival of the Range Rover marked a strategic diversification into the premium segment, while retaining the off-road DNA that had made Land Rover famous for more than two decades.

Unexpected artistic recognition

The Range Rover's history extends far beyond the automotive world to encompass British culture. In 1971, just one year after its launch, a Range Rover was exhibited at the Louvre Museum in Paris as part of an exhibition on modern industrial design. This artistic recognition was unprecedented for an off-road vehicle at the time.

This cultural recognition demonstrated the Range Rover's aesthetic impact on its time. Its pure, functional lines, inspired by modernist design codes, revolutionized the image of the 4x4, traditionally associated with military or agricultural vehicles. The Range Rover thus became the first all-terrain vehicle to be considered an object of art.

This Parisian recognition contributed greatly to the brand's emerging prestige and had a lasting influence on the perception of the Range Rover as a symbol of British sophistication . It also contributed to the emergence of a new category of vehicles combining performance, luxury and versatility.

Even today, this anecdote perfectly illustrates the cultural impact of the Range Rover, which transcends its simple function as a vehicle to become a world-renowned icon of industrial design .

Frequently Asked Questions

How to understand the scales of miniatures?

Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.

Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.

What scales are available?

Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.

The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).

Does the model car come with protection?

Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.

How is my package protected during transport?
