The first generation Range Rover was introduced in 1970 and was not designed as a luxury 4x4; whilst certainly up-market compared to preceding Land Rover models, the early Range Rovers had fairly basic, utilitarian interiors with vinyl seats and pla..

Several projects were undertaken with the most significant being the prototype bomb that morphed into the Triumph Spitfire in 1962. The Triumph Spitfire 4 Mk. II..
At the Paris Auto Salon in 1972, Ferrari unveiled an all new car to the world. It was a fast, svelte and elegant 2+2 powered by their legendary V12 engine, and was the most expensive series produced by Ferrari for 17 years. The 365 GT4 2+2 is easily distinguished from its successors by its six rear tail lights, knock-off alloy wheels, and lack of a..

Behind the new egg-crate grille covering the radiator-cooling intake was a more powerful engine thanks to its bigger SU carburettors. Furthermore, in 19..
BMW's director of product planning, Helmut Werner Bönsch and Alex von Falkenhausen, the designer of the BMW M10 engine, had both been owners of a 1600-2 (1602) and subsequently both had installed a two litre engine in their respective cars.
