New Range Rover - Pegasus or 38a. A fair amount of preliminary work had been undertaken over the years, on a vehicle to replace Range Rover. Finally, it was started. A new Team headed up by Stephen Schlemmer took on the project. Stephen took the project into its early prototype stage, but was removed in favour of John Hall. The project was a huge investment for the Company, and created a fair amount of friction within the Group. The whole of North Works was re-furbished to build the vehicle. 38a, as it became to be known, was the name of the huge building housing the design Team. During its final months, BMW took over, and had a fair amount of criticism for its size. However, it was far too late in development, for the Germans to do anything about it. It ended up being a very profitable vehicle, although its volume never matched its predecessor's. Later to be re-placed by BMW’s version in 2001.
