- Designed to meet the urgent need for increased production in agriculture and industry, the Land Rover is a truly multi-purpose vehicle. It is fast and economical for use on the road, and at the same time has that ability to keep going under the very worst cross-country conditions which can only be achieved by four-wheel drive" ('The Land Rover' sales brochure 1949)
Introduced in 1948 , the first Land Rover was designed in 1947 by Maurice Wilks, Rover's chief engineer, to work on his farm on Anglesey. Using parts and materials to hand, the centre-steered prototype used a Jeep chassis and a body made from aluminium due to the shortage of steel after WW2. When production began, this material was retained and it is this corrosion-resistance - along with its basic toughness - that makes Land Rovers so long-lived
