Sorry I can't answer any of your questions, but I can tell
you that there is a big difference between a 'Rover' and a
'Land Rover'. The former is a largeish expensivish auto-
mobile (try to imagine a stylish Volvo with a British
accent), and the latter is the thing you were describing -
a large jeep-like 4WD vehicle, which was replaced by the
'Range Rover' in the early 70's. The Range Rover is a much
more luxurious affair - snapped up by British 'county'
types (Sloane Rangers' daddies (~preppies)) and, of course,
used extensively by H.M. the Queen, when mucking about in
the country (:-)).
