When the Range Rover Sport was launched in 2005, it was aimed at a new
group of customers who in many cases would never have considered a Land
Rover product before. These customers wanted and could afford a
luxurious vehicle that was expensive to run; but they also wanted a very
personalized vehicle that did not have the rather grand and conservative
connotations of the full-size Range Rover. Brasher and more glamorous
than its older sibling, the Sport was soon adopted by celebrities and
others who expected to be noticed. Range Rover Sport 2005-2013: The
Complete Story is the first book devoted specifically to the
first-generation Range Rover Sport. It tells the story behind the
development and launch of the vehicle; it explains the market reaction,
including contemporary press reviews; provides details of each model
with technical specification tables and colour and trip options; lists
production figures and VIN identification and dating; details prices and
sales figures for the UK, USA and Canada and finally, includes a useful
chapter on buying and owning. This is the first book devoted
specifically to the first-generation Range Rover Sport. Launched in
2005, it was aimed at a new group of customers who would never have
considered a Land Rover product before.

Author Bio: After graduating from Oxford and pursuing further academic studies at Reading, James Taylor spent 12 years working in central government. However, the lure of writing about cars – which he was doing in his spare time – proved too great and he decided to turn it into a career. James has now written well over 100 books in all, and among them have been several definitive one-make or one-model titles. He has written for enthusiast magazines in several countries, has translated books from foreign languages, and even delivers effective writing training in both the public and private sectors. He spent the best part of ten years as the editor of Land Rover Enthusiast magazine and has always counted the products of the old Rover Company and of Land Rover as his favourite subject. He also co-organised the “15 Years of Rover V8” event at Donington in 1982.
