Land Rover - All Car History Volume 11

Land Rover is a motoring legend - an icon for enthusiasts the world over, with its reputation for seeming indestructibility and rugged style.

Since the very first design appeared in 1948, the Land Rover name has become universally identified with four-wheel drive vehicles. The Land Rover story is a remarkable one that reads like a history of the 4x4 itself.

LANDROVER HISTORY

The first Land Rover appeared in 1948 - a simple and inventive working vehicle. Brothers Spencer and Maurice Wilks, Land Rover's creators, developed the iconic vehicle that combined utilitarian simplicity with rugged, dependable quality. The earliest models were designed to be serviced in the field and were manufactured as a range of four-wheel drive vehicles.

From the 1970s onwards, Land Rovers came under increasing competition as manufacturers the world over entered the off-road four-wheel drive arena. Land Rover has been owned by various organisations, including British Leyland, British Aerospace and BMW. In 2000, Land Rover was sold by BMW to Ford but was recently bought by the Indian company, Tata Motors.

DID YOU KNOW?

• Early Land Rovers were constructed of a lightweight rustproof alloy of aluminium and magnesium called Birmabright which was used due to post war steel shortages and the plentiful supply of post-war aircraft aluminium. Birmabright's resistance to rust helped Land Rovers build a reputation for being long-lasting even in the toughest conditions. In fact, it is estimated that around 75% of all Land Rovers ever built are still in use.

• The early choice of Land Rover colour was mainly down to the military surplus supplies of aircraft cockpit paint after the war - so early vehicles only came in various shades of light green.
• Early advertisements for Land Rovers bragged that the vehicles could be driven for thousands of miles on banana oil!
