(from Overfinch Press
Release) 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.”
About Overfinch
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 is 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.
