The Range Rover Classic is a 4x4, mid-size Sport utility vehicle series produced from 1969 to 1996.
Introduced to the public in June 1970, the new "Range Rover" was launched as "A Car For All Reasons", boasting a top speed of around 100 mph (160 km/h), a towing capacity of 3.5 tons, spacious accommodation for five occupants, hydraulic disc brakes on all wheels, and a groundbreaking four-speed, dual-range, permanent four-wheel drive system.
To much critical acclaim, it appeared that Rover had succeeded in their goal of making a car equally capable both on and off-road – arguably better in both environments than any other four-wheel-drive vehicle of its era. With a top speed of 95 mph (153 km/h) and acceleration from a standstill to 60 mph (97 km/h) in less than 15 seconds, performance was stated as being better than many family saloon cars of its era, and off-road performance was good, owing to its long suspension travel and high ground clearance. The MY 1995 Classic Range Rovers would reduce the 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) time to around 11 seconds, and increase the top speed to approximately 110 mph (180 km/h).
Notable off-road feats were winning the four-wheel drive class in the first Paris-Dakar Rally in 1979 and 1981.
The 'Turbo D' model,with 2.5 L was introduced in 1989. The VM engines were highly advanced and refined diesel engines for their time but were received poorly by the UK press due to their inconsistent torque delivery compared to the V8 models. To counter these criticisms Land Rover used a Turbo D Range Rover to set several speed and endurance records for diesel vehicles during 1987, including a continuous run over 24 hours at over 100 mph (160 km/h). The VM were replaced by Land Rover's own 200Tdi turbocharged diesel engine in 1992 and 300Tdi at the end of 1994.

The Land Rover Range Rover Classic 300 TDi was known for its ruggedness and off-road capabilities, but it was also surprisingly refined and comfortable on the road. 

It was a significant car in the history of Land Rover, and it remains a beloved icon of British automotive design and engineering. Its rugged and capable design has inspired countless other off-road vehicles, and it is still prized by off-road enthusiasts all over the world.

The car's engineering and design have also influenced many subsequent Land Rover models, including the Land Rover Defender and the Range Rover Sport. It has also been featured in countless movies and TV shows, cementing its status as a cultural icon.

The Land Rover Range Rover Classic 300 TDi is a true icon of off-road automotive history, and its legacy lives on to this day. Its rugged and capable design, combined with its refined on-road performance, make it a unique and beloved vehicle that is still prized by enthusiasts around the world. Whether you are a fan of off-road vehicles or simply appreciate excellent engineering and design, the Land Rover Range Rover Classic 300 TDi is a car that is well worth experiencing.
