– Sustainably sourced polished French walnut veneers matching the wood used to manufacture Holland & Holland firearm stocks
– An exclusive espresso and tan interior color combination unique to the Holland & Holland Range Rover model

Perhaps most significantly, the rear loadspace has been updated to include a deployable, locking, leather trimmed gun case which accommodates two firearms4 from Holland & Holland. The case, which is securely affixed to the floor, can slide forward onto the lower tailgate for easier access when needed at the sporting grounds and can be removed for added luggage space, when not in use.
“The whole SVO team is very proud of this car, a bespoke design, which perfectly meets the very particular needs of Holland & Holland customers,” said John Edwards, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations. “This shows the huge potential of SVO, which encapsulates both off- and on-road performance as well as luxury and craftsmanship.”
On sale globally, the Holland & Holland Range Rover will be available in North America beginning spring 2016 and priced from $244,5001.
