Range Rover has just turned 45, and to celebrate Land Rover created a video that's sure to make the eyes of fanboys around the world water. Seriously, though, this video is a pretty awesome history lesson containing some fun facts that even the biggest gearheads might not know, such as Range Rover's penchant for technical innovation. It's also full of vintage footage that'll remind you of a time when Range Rovers weren't just driven by affluent soccer moms.

Range Rover haters may not be converted by this video, but even they'll have to admit that the automaker has done some damn cool stuff over the years.
