  Hi Nick, aint this place wonderful. Anyway, to the point.

    The term "Sloane Ranger" comes from a book written a few years ago
      called "...sloane ranger..." (I don't remember the exact title).
      I'm almost certain the term wasn't around before this. The reason
      why Sloane Rangers are called Sloane Rangers is because they're
      favourite habitat is Sloane Square. They are also to be found
      in Knightsbridge, Barnes, Mayfair and Belgravia, as well as
      anywhere else there is parking space for a land_rover. I believe
      the term Sloane Ranger was coined only to be applicable to women.
      And of course, you (Nick) were right in that all S.R's aspire
      to be Princess Di...
