The first generation Range Rover, originally called the Range Rover Classic, was introduced to the world in 1970. Founded by Maurice Wilks and created by engineers, Spencer King and Gordon Bashford, this vehicle became one of the greatest types in its class in manufacturing history. Manufactured by Land Rover, a British car manufacturer that is known for its specialty in producing four-wheel drive vehicles, it has defined the market of four wheel drives.

The Land Rover Company was founded in 1947, with the company manufacturing the Range Rover in 1969. Since then, the Range Rover has experienced explosive growth across the world. In fact, with the increase in popularity and intrigue of the vehicle, Land Rover began selling them in the United States, introducing them to the market on March 16, 1987. Prior to March 16, 1987 the Range Rover was illegally imported through the gray market. Even though newer Ranger Rovers have been produced, many die-hard Range Rover fans can be seen driving the Range Rover Classic and only the Classic.
