Land Rover Range Rover 'Classic' Classic Velar Prototype

With the fourth-generation Range Rover just making its international debut, we spent some time in one of the very oldest originals, an early development prototype not even carrying the Range Rover badge...

The superb Davos White car – kindly loaned by Classic Driver dealer Graeme Hunt – is a ‘Velar’. Watch the video and see how the car got its name, and find out what it’s like in town, and around. 


With grateful thanks to Graeme and Bettina Hunt. To see all Graeme Hunt's cars in the Classic Driver database, please CLICK HERE.

Suzuki T500 Titan

Quick, agile, light and reliable, Suzuki’s T500 bucked conventional thinking about two-strokes and the trend towards big four-strokes in the late ’60s and was generally a smooth, successful and pretty bike.

This particular bike is Boris ‘Bob’ Guynes’ Suzuki T500 Titan, and it goes a little beyond just pretty.

Bob, a self-admitted “scoundrel, into bikes and speed” and veteran of the Bonneville salt flats, built the bike with Ron Grant and has campaigned it in vintage motorcycle racing. A fabricator and model-maker by trade, his skills shine in this incredible machine. It’s built from period-correct bits to be absolutely immaculate. A work of art.

The bike is part of Bob’s as yet undocumented, but reportedly miraculous, collection of motorcycles. Automotive photographer TJ Grewal, who is responsible for the beautiful photos you see here, is set to change this and get to photographing Bob’s collection shortly.

While you wait, check out TJ’s collection of automotive and motorsport art on his website here, including his full set of shots of the T500.
