WIP Holloway-Rowe (Classic SUV) [PAID]

It’s looking sooo good! Will have usdm varisions?

 

3 spokes my beloved

 

I don't think this could not have been said any better

 

you know, adults also can decide is it worth paying

 

only on later models, much like the real counterpart

 

sounds nice

 

Hey Theo! I have some names for the SUV!
HOLLOWAY-Rowe Meridian
HOLLOWAY-Rowe Regent
HOLLOWAY-Rowe Majesty
HOLLOWAY-Rowe Oakland
HOLLOWAY-Rowe Glasgow
HOLLOWAY-Rowe London
HOLLOWAY-Rowe Ben
HOLLOWAY-Rowe London

 

this car doesn’t have a model name, not because it is yet to get one, but because its not intended to have one lol

holloway-rowe as a brand was formed as a merger with this car as its first release- so for decades it was the flagship (not necessarily the only one like the RR of irl), so it didn’t actually need the model name to be distinct

it is possible it will get a name from the late-80s onwards, but i want to come up with that myself, and it isnt a priority

 

oh

 

I always thought that the model name was "Classic"

 

the Range Rover Classic name was only used when the P38 was released, as they had a brief overlap

 

Wow this project look very interesting. Love all the detachable parts planned. Will keep an eye on this one

 

Classic is actually nice name tho. plus what does the dmv put for model since some places require it?

 

the DVLA here mark the newer ones as Land Rover (make) Range Rover (model), but the older ones seem to just be Land Rover or Rover

 

do you plan on re creating jeremy clarksons range rover from top gear, i feel like that would be the basis for a good crawler version

 

Just came across this today, looking amazing as always Theo! I'm looking forward to this mate.

EDIT: The body shell/structure looks great, do you guys own one of these IRL or are you working from references? Either way, looks amazing.

 

thank you

 

I just had a thought.... How are you intending the "Rowe" part of the name to be pronounced? With this being a lore-friendly Land Rover, I was just wondering about this. As in Mandarin, 'Rover' is phonetically pronounced "Row-way" (Quote: Jeremy Clarkson on the UK 'Top Gear' when talking about the ChDM versions of other cars).

I was just wondering if it should be pronounced in the same way as "Rover" in Mandarin, or in the same way as the well known English surname? ;-)

 

I personally pronounce it like “rowing a boat” would be said

 

Haha! Nice, thanks for clearing my weird question up! :-D
