The designer calls it sharing the same DNA of timelessness: "When I see a 40-year-old Range Rover pass by, I turn around and think 'what a beautiful car.' But this is also the case with a 10-year-old Range Rover, which is quite unique in the car world. It's a beautiful luxury car without it posh is. It doesn't really get any better.”
