Enhancing a legend
since 1975

Development begins to improve the performance of the Range Rover, using 4 Dellorto carburettors and other external modifications to the engine. The improved power and efficiency that resulted, transformed the Range Rover’s performance and led the way for the developments to come. The performance Range Rover legend begins.

For the first time, an ultra smooth 3 speed automatic transmission was developed to be fitted in place of the standard Range Rovers gearbox. At the same time, for those that wanted a manual gearbox for performance and long distance touring, a sporting 5 speed gearbox with close-ratios was introduced.

A Range Rover equipped with the Schuler / FF gearbox and prepared with many Schuler high performance components wins the Paris-Dakar Rally, famously the world’s toughest rally. This huge achievement in the face of tough competition proves Schuler to be the world leader in performance Range Rovers.

After much research and development, the first air strut suspension system for Range Rover is introduced. This advanced, yet robust suspension system revolutionised both the on-road handling and ride comfort, whilst maintaining the off-road capability of the vehicles. A long-range “Touring” fuel tank option becomes available, to further improve the abilities as a touring vehicle.

The Range Rover specific division of Schuler separates from its German roots to become a fully independent UK based specialist. To mark the occasion, the company name changes to Overfinch. A LEGEND IS BORN.

The result was a high-performance Land Rover that retained its full utility — setting a new standard for such vehicles that has paved the way for performance Land Rovers ever since.
