No one in Britain bought American made cars in the 1980's because they weren't officially imported. American imported cars were grey market that needed extensive conversion to be legal.
It was still far from a "big" car. A contemporary Mercedes S-Class was nearly half a meter longer than the 4 door Range and that's a sedan lol.
Range Rovers are now as big as luxury sedans were in the 1980s.
