Head to Head Range Rover Velar, the first model and new model

Stunning new Range Rover Velar faces the original model that inspired its name in an exclusive head-to-head

We’re causing quite a stir at the Land Rover Show at Dunsfold in Surrey. Standing in the middle of a lush field in Surrey, the sight of an original deep green 1969 Range Rover parked next to a sleek new Range Rover Velar is raising a few eyebrows among the 4x4 fraternity.

These two Range Rovers are a world away from the rows of enthusiasts’ workhorse ‘Landies’ in the next field, but the real reason for their interest is that these are no normal Range Rovers. For the first time ever, the original Range Rover Velar has squared up against the new model – and we joined them for the day to see how the Range Rover brand has developed over the past 47 years.

Although it’s been mentioned plenty of times in recent months, originally the name Velar was never supposed to be particularly well known, and until 2017 it was confined to the Land Rover history books. The idea of creating a more road-biased, lifestyle-orientated Land Rover was mooted in the early fifties with the ‘Road Rover’, but it wasn’t until the late sixties that the now iconic David Bache-styled ‘Range Rover’ project started to come to life.
