The Rover Company (originator of the Land Rover marque) was
experimenting with a larger model than the Land Rover Series in
1951 when the Rover P4-based two-wheel-drive "Road Rover" project
was developed by Gordon Bashford.2 #fn2 This was shelved in 1958
and the idea lay dormant until 1966 when engineers Spen King and
Bashford set to work on a new model.
In 1967, the first Range Rover prototype was built (number plate
SYE 157F), with the classic Range Rover shape discernible but with
a different front grille and headlight configuration. The design of
the Range Rover was finalized in 1969. Twenty-six Velar engineering
development vehicles were built between 1969 and 1970 and were road
registered with the number plates YVB151H through to YVB177H.
Though being chassis no. 3, YVB 153H is believed to have been the
first off the production line as a vehicle in that color was
urgently required for marketing. The Velar name was derived from
the Italian "velare" meaning to veil or to cover. Range Rover
development engineer Geof Miller used the name as a decoy for
registering pre-production Range Rovers. The Velar company was
registered in London and produced 40 pre-production vehicles that
were built between 1967 and 1970. Most of these Velar
pre-production vehicles are accounted for and have survived into
preservation.
