The famous British racing legend Tom Walkinshaw founded the Tom Walkinshaw Racing Ltd (TWR)
in 1976. TWR started to prepare BMW models for racing, and later also Mazda and Opel for racing.
In 1981 the company also prepared the Paris-Dakar winning Range Rover for Rene Metge and Bernard Giroux. Later on, in the mid-’80s, TWR started to work with Rover and Jaguar.
With Range Rover TWR Special Vehicles Ltd, the company that converted road-legal Jaguar and other makes developed a styling package with the new front end and rear end bumpers, under sills edge liner, stylish D-post with integrated roof-mounted spoiler and TWR designed alloy wheels. This styling package was shown to the Land Rover design dept and to the Land Rover management as a proposal for a more stylish and sporty Range Rover.
The first Range Rover version from TWR was showed to the public at Frankfurt Auto Show in September 1991, as a styling concept. The original TWR front bumper had circular driving lamps.
