Gallery: Celebrating 50 years of the Range Rover at SpeedWeek

Led by the well-known ‘drivable chassis’, a 50-strong parade of cars illustrated the evolution of the world’s first luxury off-roader from the days of velour seats and hose-out interiors to six-figure all-terrain limousine.

Included in the parade were the diesel speed record setting Beaver Bullet from 1985; one of the cars which traversed the infamous Dairen Gap in 1971 and working examples from the police and fire and ambulance services. There was even a six-wheeler, a convertible and a stretched limousine example.

All two-score and ten of the cars took part in creating a moving ‘50’, captured from overhead by a drone. The complex manoeuvre was co-ordinated by a team of professional drivers who directed the owners who generously brought their vehicles to take part.
