The first Land Rover appeared in post-war Britain in 1948, at a time of severe steel shortages. It was a brilliantly simple, ingeniously made "workhorse" of aluminum.

Brothers Spencer and Maurice Wilks, who worked for the British car company Rover, created a new car-symbol that combined pragmatic simplicity and rugged reliability.

The car was an instant success, as a result of which by the mid-fifties of the last century the Land Rover brand had already become clearly associated with the concept of stability, durability and phenomenal off-road qualities.

Military and agricultural workers, as well as rescue and recovery services workers, found in Land Rover exactly the qualities they needed in a car.

By 1959 The 250, 000th Land Rover rolled off the lines at Solihull, West Midlands, and the foundations for future market dominance were firmly laid.

The famous Defender, Land Rover's long-wheelbase model, designed as a versatile, reliable post-war car, has been produced virtually unchanged for 50 years and its appearance resembles that of the post-war model.

The model is still considered the best all-wheel drive SUV.

In the 1960s, demand for all-wheel drive vehicles increased significantly, and Land Rover found itself at the forefront of a new, developing market segment.

In an attempt to find the best solution to the problem, Rover engineers set about developing a vehicle that would combine the comfort and handling of a family car with the off-road capabilities of a Land Rover.

The result of their work was the Range Rover, launched in 1970. and instantly became a global sensation.

The iconic design of this model achieved a unique level of recognition, being exhibited in the Louvre Gallery in Paris.

However, the advantages of the car went far beyond comfort and attractive appearance, while maintaining unique off-road driving qualities.

During the 1970s and 80s, the evolution of Land Rover and Range Rover continued, and the recognition of Land Rover vehicles grew thanks to events such as the Paris-Dakar Rally, which demonstrated the remarkable resilience of the brand.

The Land Rover model range includes two more models. The Discovery was first shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1989, marking the creation of a new niche - the family 4x4 car.

In 1997. it was followed by the Freelander - a more compact car focused on sports and leisure applications and took the lead in European sales in the 4x4 class.

In 1994, the BMW concern acquired the English company Rover Group, and with it its subsidiary Land Rover, which has always specialized in SUVs.

Discovery and Defender continue to be produced without changes. The latter, the workhorse among all other models, the most practical and reliable, although not very comfortable, is offered with an aluminum "station wagon" body.

In the UK, the Defender is sold in three base versions - 90, 110 and 130. They are equipped with a turbocharged diesel and a gasoline V-shaped 8-cylinder engine with a displacement of 2. 5 and 4. 0 liters, respectively.

These cars are very popular with farmers, they are used as police and fire engines.
