Who doesn’t love a tease? Land Rover is presenting a Holland & Holland Range Rover edition – but they’re only showing off teaser images for now. All you’ll see are concept drawings and a covered mock up of 2010′s Range Rover, which was the basis for this Holland & Holland Edition. So, who exactly are Holland & Holland…

Holland & Holland are bespoke sporting gun and rifle makers, founded in London in 1835 by Harris Holland, who was later joined by his nephew Henry to create the eponymous brand. Overfinch,  in charge of this vehicle and all its performance beauty, is a high-end luxury sports car builder. Details are limited, the teaser image suggests the SUV will feature an exclusive four-seat arrangement, including a refrigerated console dividing the two rear seats. In the cargo compartment, a massive wood chest with pull out drawers has been installed. Fans of Special Edition Range Rovers such as this will have to wait until September for an official unveiling. Check out the full press release below.

Holland & Holland Range Rover by Overfinch announced

• The most luxurious and exclusive off-roader ever – only one hundred to be made
• Based on 2010 MY 503 bhp supercharged or TDV8 Range Rover Autobiography
• Interior and exterior enhancements designed and manufactured in conjunction with Holland & Holland
• To be launched at the Holland & Holland Shooting Grounds on Wednesday September 23rd

It was announced simultaneously today at the Game Fair and Salon Privé that Holland & Holland, makers of the world’s finest sporting guns and Overfinch, designers and manufacturers of exclusive Range Rover enhancements since 1975, are joining forces to create the ultimate luxury off-roader.

The Holland & Holland Range Rover was conceived with a single intention: to create an all purpose, all season, luxury supercar for the discerning few. Designers and engineers at both Holland & Holland and Overfinch have worked together to create a car that embodies Holland & Holland’s unique sporting heritage and Overfinch’s bespoke craftsmanship. The result is a quintessentially English take on luxury.

Based on either the 5.0 litre 503 bhp Supercharged or TDV8 versions of the new 2010 MY car, the Holland & Holland Overfinch features a raft of enhancements that make it unmistakably something very special.

Daryl Greatrex, Managing Director of Holland & Holland, said, “Holland & Holland is globally synonymous with both luxury and supreme functionality. To look at, to handle and shoot with a Holland & Holland is to appreciate 174 years of using the best craftsmanship and technology to make things work supremely well and look even better. It’s ten years since we had a Holland & Holland Range Rover and we decided that working with Overfinch was the only way to do it this time. Over the years it has become clear that what AMG is to Mercedes and Alpina is to BMW, so Overfinch is to Range Rover.”

Neil Underwood, Chief Operating Officer of Overfinch added, “There has always been a great deal of talk in the media, speculating that Range Rovers could start approaching Bentley levels of luxury – for one hundred fortunate customers, that will now become a reality. We have worked closely with designers, engineers and the quite astonishing craftsmen of Holland & Holland, who have helped us create the most exclusive, most luxurious off-roader ever built.”

Overfinch is a design-led engineering company that has over the last 34 years built a luxury brand. Based in Farnham, Surrey, they operate on five continents and are the originators of the performance Range Rover. It was in 1975, only a few years after the Range Rover was launched, that Schuler (later to become Overfinch) built their first high performance derivative.

During that time, their in house design and engineering departments have enjoyed a close working relationship with Land Rover, starting with the development of the first ever automatic Range Rover and notably including a Paris Dakar win on behalf of Land Rover France in 1981.

Overfinch are the only company in the world building bespoke Range Rovers as their sole business.

Holland & Holland are bespoke sporting gun and rifle makers, founded in London in 1835 by Harris Holland, who was later joined by his nephew Henry to create the eponymous brand. They are the most famous gun makers in the world, being the first choice of virtually every royal family and are holders of royal warrants from HRH the Duke of Edinburgh and HRH the Prince of Wales.

Holland & Holland’s factory on the Harrow Road was purpose built for them over a hundred years ago and is home to a quality of time-honoured craftsmanship virtually unique in the twenty first century. Skills are often handed down from father to son but, despite that, it takes five years of training to become and Holland & Holland craftsman.

Holland & Holland have gunrooms in London, New York and Moscow, where their ever-expanding range of country lifestyle clothing and accessories are available and orders are taken for their bespoke range of guns. The Holland & Holland Shooting Grounds on the outskirts of London have offered instruction and corporate entertainment to blue chip clients and private individuals up to and including the young royals for nearly 130 years. Since 1989, Holland & Holland have been owned by the family that owns Chanel.

Land Rover tends to take its time when it comes to replacing models. This applies especially to the Range Rover lineup. The current car was first introduced in 2002 and since face lifted versions are still being tested. It’s not expected to debut anytime soon.

This rendering represents an idea of what the artist feels could be the next Range Rover. The basis is obviously the LRX Concept car which made its world debut at Geneva a year ago. With current buzzwords like ‘lightweight’ and ‘economy’ taking the front seat at the expense of words like ‘massive’ and ‘power’, the rendering focuses on the supposed use of lightweight materials.

Aerodynamics is important so the design is geared towards an SUV that cuts through the air as quickly and efficiently as possible. The use of LED lights will be as widespread as xenon technology within the next 10 years. Designers find it easy to work with LEDs because the diodes are flexible and give them lots of liberties with design. For this piece of art the artist has decided to keep the Range’s classic lines as a way of preserving some of what we know as cars for future generations to marvel at. Nothing was said of the powertrain but something like a hybrid or a full-on electric drive system would be the one used.

Needless to day the Rover name has become synonymous with extreme off-roading adventures. You can take your Range Rover through the deepest jungles of Africa, or your Freelander through Death Valley. Your Land Rover will take on all seasons and all forms of weather. Much like the Postal Service – “Neither rain nor sleet.” Below are just a few examples of how bad ass a Rover can be.

Many of the Rovers showing up are Defenders – an estimated 70-80% of Defenders are still in use to this day. It proves the staying power of these magnificent machines.

The first Land Rover came off its assembly line in 1948 (pictured above) called the Hue or Huey.

The Range Rover has become one of the most popular civilian Rover models when it comes to sales. Though the original Land Rovers were built for military purposes, and due to rationing were constructed with aluminum instead of steel, along with other materials left over from airplane factories.
