They did, and bright colours like Orange and Yellow were the "iconic" colours for them. The first "lifestyle SUV".
From memory they didn't make a lot of them? Worth a lot now for a clean one.

Three door was the only choice in the early ones. Five door came later.Seen one of these in orange (doubtful it was it's original colour?) Driving through Belfast yday. Never knew they did a 3 door in those older shaped Range Rovers.

Think they made the 2door here up to around 1981/2, mainly in biege lol although I'm almost certain they made them in 2door elsewhere for another good few years as I remember seeing a late classic 2dr lhd and thinking someone had just modernised one, but it was reg'd 1990 or the like.
The very first of them were called a Velar (brought the name back recently) and are worth insane amounts of money now!
This one is exceptionally dear

£3k back in the 70s would be more like £50k now, just from inflation.
Combine that with much lower earnings back then and basically everything is much cheaper now in terms of what an average person can actually buy.
