4×4 News: End Of An Era For The King Of The 4×4
Charles Spencer King has been a significant figure in the Range Rover legacy since 1925, but sadly after a substantial number of years of being the driving force behind such a monumentous marque, this motoring legend has passed away.
PistonHeads.com has reported that the “father of the Range Rover” died following a cycling accident last weekend. Not only will he be missed by his friends and family, but there will be a hole in history where his 68 years of prolific engineering and new vehicle projects expertise shone.
Spen, as he was better known, was “the driving force behind the original 1970 Range Rover”, whose amazing “balance of capabilities sparked a strong demand for the luxurious yet versatile 4×4″, according to AutoCar.co.uk.
It was King himself that believed that “Land Rover needed something new”, which is why we saw the creation of the Rover P6 Series, which also spawned the 2000, 2200 and 3500 models. Although he is well known for many iconic Land Rovers and Range Rovers, the car which changed the world’s view of the potential of off-road vehicles, according to PistonHeads.com, was the “original Range Rover”.
It was so original that is sparked dozens of imitations across the world and became famous in its own right, celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. In an interview in Land Rover Owner International magazine, Mr King was asked ‘how he felt about the Range Rover after 40 years as an icon’, to which he replied, “It’s very nice to look back on something that you did a long time ago and know that it’s been successful”. I’m pretty sure people will look back on Spen’s legacy and say, “it’s been successful”.
