Pray for mud! This beauty has the power and sophistication to play off road and the luxury to feel right at home at the country club. Another expertly designed and carried out diecast masterpiece from AUTOart, the model comes across as a perfect miniature of the real article.
Let's start up front in the powerplant region. You will find a massive mill nestled into the engine bay replete with plastic lines, hoses and plumbing. Fabricated and painted to accurately represent the 1:1, you will know that AUTOart studied the Range Rover well. The silver metallic paint is flawlessly applied and contrasts well with the charcoal interior. The headlight and taillight assemblies are remarkably well defined as are the door handles. They are also operational. All four doors open smoothly! The rear doors are spring-hinged. The rear hatch also opens. Inside is a feast for your eyes. The dash and console markings are masterfully replicated and the arm rests pivot back. The steering is easy and smooth and the front seats even have simulated power controls. Equipped with the moonroof, this model displays with additional light to the interior serving to enhance the realistic nature of the piece even more. There is plenty of correct detail underneath and the wheels and tires look great. The simulated lug nuts appear as if they could be removed for a tire change.
A beautiful model of an icon perfectly capable of handling mud, snow or dry pavement with equal aplomb. This model deserves a special look. (05/25/2000)
