Overfinch reveals bespoke 2014 Range Rover

The debut of the long-wheelbase Range Rover a month ago raised the bar when it comes to SUVs acting as chauffeured limousines, even if the model was arguably a few years late to the market's demands. When coupled with the Autobiography Black trim, the long-wheelbase Range Rover didn't quite turn into a conference room on wheels, but it did do a good impression of first-class airline seating.

Semi or unskilled workers and pensioners are cutting back most on motoring, with 53% using their cars less.
