Default 2015 Holland & Holland Range Rover

Quote:
Land Rover has teamed up with British gunmaker Holland & Holland to create its most luxurious model ever. It could be yours for £180k.

Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) division has announced it is partnering with bespoke sporting rifle maker Holland & Holland to create the ultimate luxury SUV. The exclusive branded Range Rover Holland & Holland edition costs an astonishing £180,000.

Its based on the standard £140,000 long-wheelbase Range Rover Autobiography Black, which is stretched 200mm over the standard model to give generous rear legroom. SVO and Holland & Holland then set about creating the bespoke model with a range of luxury upgrades.

So what do you get for your money? Changes to the outside don’t extend beyond an exclusive green paintjob, a special grille, some chrome highlights and the gunmaker’s badging. It’s inside where all the action is.

Like the Black model, the Holland & Holland gets Executive Class rear seating, a luxurious two-seat layout which includes sculpted seats that can recline up to 17 degrees. SVO then adds electrically deployable walnut tables, USB charging points and a bespoke lighting system.

The seats themselves are trimmed in premium tan-coloured leather hides, embroidered with Holland & Holland detailing. The walnut trim about the cabin is polished to resemble the British gunmaker’s hunting rifles.

As we’ve seen in previous Range Rover Holland & Holland specials, its in the boot where the gunmaker’s influence is clearest. A leather-trimmed cabinet, designed to accommodate the brand’s bespoke rifles, slides out on a machined aluminium platform.

Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations division only plans to build 40 of these per-year over three years. The car is available on special order only, making it the most exclusive Range Rover available today. It’s powered by either the 334bhp 4.4-litre SDV8 diesel, or the 503bhp 5.0-litre Supercharged V8.

I generally don't like these special edition vehicles of most/any brands.
But this, it's just luxurious goodness.

How much of a toff do you have to be to buy one. Are hyphenated surnames a requirement for ownership too?

In saying that it does look pretty nice inside though.

Adds a new level of sophistication to road rage.
If some one gets out of their car ranting and raving over a driving incident, you casually get out dressed in tweed and wander to the back of the vehicle and pull out your Holland & Holland, and say "I believe you have an issue with my driving style do you"?

I love Rangies, but the idea of giving the passenger a better experience for the driver? Not sure it would appeal to me unless I wanted to be chauffeured everywhere, but I enjoy driving too much for that. It does look really nice though.

Love to flog that down the Birdsville and try to make the whole car match the colour of the seats.
