Overview
Many Range Rover buyers and owners are looking for something
more
than
a stock vehicle -- they yearn for more power, custom interior features
and enhancements, sportier handling, or distinctive appearance. In the
United States, the premier supplier of customized Range Rovers is Special
Vehicle Concepts (also known as SVC, and formerly known as
Cameron
Concepts after the company's founder Peter Cameron). Over the
past five
years
they have delivered over 250 custom-built Range Rovers, including the
supercharged 1997
4.6 SSE
models built
for Land Rover Special Vehicles and sold through the dealership
network. From discreet
but effective cosmetic changes to awesome power when you need it, an
SVC Range Rover delivers more luxury and power than any other SUV.
Modifications
and upgrades are
available for both the new 2003 & up Range Rover 4.4 and the
1995-2002 4.0/4.6 models. SVC
has designed a new supercharger kit
for the new
Mk III model, (their supercharger kit for the 4.0/4.6 is also
still
available) and a new
8-piece Range Rover III Body Kit.
Similar
enhancements will shortly be available for the new Discovery 3/LR3.
SVC Options for Range Rovers include an integrated and comprehensive
power upgrade
package (CARB-approved) with an Eaton supercharger, ported &
polished heads & manifolds, reprogrammed engine management
computers, exhaust upgrades and other enhancements. The suspension is
upgraded to match, with Bilstein gas pressure
shocks, a larger front anti-roll bar, addition of a custom rear
anti-roll bar, and upgraded bushings for precise control. Brakes are
similarly upgraded with cross drilled discs, stainless stell braided
lines, and high performance brake pads. Wheel and tire options include
18", 19" and 20" wheels with high
performance or Run-Flat tires. Other custom exterior options include
special paint schemes and window tinting, billet grilles, special
lighting, and chromed exhaust tips. Available interior enhancements
include
opulent wood trim,
burlwood steering wheel, premium carpets, and a multitude of
communications & entertainment equipment such as enhanced GPS,
hands-free phone, auto 911 call up, premium sound and video/DVD
equipment.
Special Vehicles Concepts can obtain Range Rovers straight off the
production line (or recent used models) and customize them for you, or
they can take in your existing RR and work their magic on it. They
usually have several late model Range Rovers for sale -- either ones
that customers have traded in for a new custom model, or ones that have
been customized for demonstration purposes. Currently, the 340 HP SVC
Edition 4.6HSE illustrated at the top of this page is for sale -- for
more details see the Used
Range Rover
Listings page and the Truck Magazine
writeup
on it.
Customer
Options
SVC offers several options for customers wishing to achieve the optimum
in personalized Range Rover ownership, including the following choices:
1. You can order the custom equipment and upgrades you desire and
instal them yourself on your own vehicle.
2. You can specify the custom upgrades and trim you desire and have SVC
instal it on your Range Rover
3. SVC can custom design a vehicle package to meet your specific needs

4. If you don't have a Range Rover, SVC can find you the one of your

sources.

stock and ready to go immediately (see the currently available vehicles
