Sorry Richard, not a Range Rover. All Land Rovers and their vehicles branded "Range Rovers" are made by Land Rover. The original Range Rover branded 4x4 came out in 1970. This is the last year on the planet for the original "Series" Land Rover that you have pictured. Safety and emission reg's have finally caused the demise of this once revered vehicle.
Roverman. BTW, Land Rover/Jaguar are owned by an Indian company, TATA.

Thanks. I learned something that I didn't know before. But then I don't follow vehicles with four wheels all that much.   ;)

so if I've got this right. All Range Rovers are Land Rovers but, not all Land Rovers are Range Rovers.

Here is another rain-free spinner visor. This one is apparently a current version. Designed and made in Germany, naturally:

Cute. All they did was move the prop from the top of the head to the face.
And most likely ( like all the German products) damned expensive to repair after the warranty expires.  ;)
