1990 Range Rover Vogue | Gaddesby, Leicestershire

A 1990 Range Rover Vogue, from the first generation of Land Rover's big four-wheel-drive estate. It paired a V8 engine and permanent four-wheel drive with coil springs, so it coped with rough ground and still rode comfortably on the road. Over its long run it moved from farm track to country house drive, and the square, upright shape shows both sides of that. This one is grey with a silver interior, a cool, understated pairing that lets the straight lines and large windows do the work. Under the bonnet is a 3.9-litre petrol V8. The raised stance gives it presence in a frame, and the flat-sided body leaves room for the location behind it. In front of a camera it suits advertising and photography in the countryside, where its upright shape and muted colour sit well against fields and stone. Its lines also stand in for a British 4x4 of the 1980s and early 1990s on film and TV sets, and its stance suits arrivals at country venues and events. A wedding or personal hire gets the same presence. The car is based in Gaddesby, Leicestershire.
