Ageing Like Fine Wine!

From the Pope to footballers to movie stars and of course the wealthiest who’s who, a Range Rover is something that binds them all. Despite the best of efforts of Rolls-Royce or Bentley, nothing has thwarted the mighty Range Rover from being one of the most preferred means of transport for the elite all over the world.

The fact that it has turned 50 this year shows that in spite of a fickle attention span in today’s age, a good product stands head and shoulders above everything else in the buyer’s mind. A small fact, the Range Rover is the best-selling super luxury SUV, and judging by the sheer number of them you see stashed away in the wealthiest corners of the globe, you won’t disbelieve that claim.
