IF YOU'RE ABOUT to do a spot of gardening or nipping out for a stroll you could simply throw on jeans and a t-shirt. A beautifully crafted T.M. Lewin suit however is a garment purposely designed for the more refined exploits in life. While the two outfits may have the essential materials in common the way they are crafted dictates which situation you're going to find yourself in that day.

Much the same could be said for a Range Rover. If you're going off-piste into the depths of the desert you could opt for a Range's sister automobile a Land Rover. With this Range Rover Autobiography though the only sand you're likely to see will be a premium hotel's beach or perhaps the bunker on a golf course. As with a bespoke suit and everyday ensemble these two cars possess very similar foundations but the way they're put together produces a vastly different outcome.

The Autobiography is the pinnacle of the Range Rover collection. Akin to some Lewin designs early Autobiographies were only made-to-order. Demand for the crisp lines and fine interior was so high it is now a limited edition vehicle.

The 2016 model comes complete with a girthy five-litre V8 which provides ample grunt without penetrating the serene environment the car commands inside. For as well as it being one of the best looking SUVs on the road it is also one of the most highly-appointed and comfortable. Sit in the cockpit and you're in command of your own luxury liner. Equipment includes a heated wooden and leather steering wheel (yes you read correctly) voice recognition for all your electronics cooled cubbies for the bubbly and front and rear massage seats. As you can probably tell this is a car specifically made to be enjoyed and relax in. Driving-wise it's true to form. Cushiony in the corners and not exactly a slouch on the straights the Autobiography does a very respectable 0-100 km/h in 5.4 seconds. Though that's not what this car is about. It's an automobile in which to be pampered. Just as you wouldn't go running in a three-piece you won't go racing in this. So pop the cork (not the driver!) relax into your massage and exclaim 'tally-ho' as you set off for your five-star get away.
